Week 1
Thursday
Re: Reading Assignments:
- How is “knowledge” visualized in history? Why is that “knowledge” could be visualized in so many different ways?
Re: Exploration Assignments:
- What are the basic types of visualizations? What purposes do they serve? What are their strengths and weaknesses?
- What criteria should we use to evaluate a visualization? Choose your favorite visualization from Vintage Visualizations to share with the class on Thursday. Write down one or two things it tells you a good visualization should have or should avoid.
Getting prepared for the lab:
- Install Zotero Standalone on your computer. Add the appropriate Zotero browser extension to your browser.
- Sign up for a free/basic account with Evernote. Remember your username and password. Install the appropriate Evernote Web Clipper appropriate for your browser.
