GENERAL —
Ideally, students will use the project as an opportunity to demonstrate proficient understanding of the principles of data visualization as well as competency in the application of those principles. The goal is for students to have an engaging experience while working on the project and to end with a deliverable that can become a worthy part of their portfolio to showcase technical skills.
Students may choose to work individually or in small groups (no more than 3 members in a group)
TOPIC/DATA —
Each individual/group will choose the topic and data set(s) for the project. The goal is to obtain data for a topic that the individual/group will find interesting to explore/analyze.
Each individual/group will develop a set of questions to be addressed/explored.

COURSE /PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
use Tableau Desktop to create appropriate visualizations to explore the data and extract insights
summarize and present findings/conclusions clearly and convincingly
PRESENTATION
Each individual group will submit a LINK to a recorded presentation of the project.
Recording cannot be more than 6 minutes long.
The presentation should be focused on telling a compelling story to share your insights. Utilize interactive dashboards (with appropriate filters, legends, hyperlinks, etc), story tabs, and captions.
The goal is to use visualizations that support a clear and compelling narrative, and that reflect the recommended good practices introduced earlier in the course.
Along with the recorded presentation, each individual/group will also attach the following to this Canvas assignment
Tableau workbook — save as Tableau exported work book (.twbx) file format so that the data is included
Files of all data sources utilized in the analysis — .xlsx ; .csv ; .hyper
PowerPoint presentation that summarizes major points of the analysis and includes all citations — or create captions in Tableau and use story tabs
