Summary
This course provides an introduction as well as hands-on experience in data visualization. It introduces
students to design principles for creating meaningful displays of quantitative and qualitative data to
facilitate managerial decision-making.

Course Objectives
• Provide an overview and brief history of the practice of data visualization
• Introduce students to the key design principles and techniques for visualizing data
• Develop an understanding of the fundamentals of communication and alignment around
concepts that are required for effective data presentation
• Provide an overview and develop an introductory level of competency on the use of several
available software tools that can be used for data visualization
• Allow for project-based opportunities to identify, understand, analyze, prepare, and present
effective visualizations on a variety of topics

Course Prerequisites
• General computer skills and a familiarity with charting tools like Microsoft Excel are necessary,
along with access to the Internet for research and data gathering.
• Direct access to a computer on which the student can install software is highly recommended
(see Required Software below)
• An understanding of basic charting and statistical terms and practices will be helpful, but not
required.

Student Outcomes
After taking this course, students should be able to collect and process data, create an interactive
visualization, and use it to demonstrate or provide insight into a problem, situation, or phenomenon.

Moreover, students should have the basic knowledge needed to critique various visualizations (good
and bad), and to identify design principles that make good visualizations effective. Students should also
have a basic understanding of some of the challenges present in making data understandable across a
wide range of potential audiences.

Finally, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their own skills in identifying a visualization
that can be improved, completing their own design and/or analysis on the underlying data, and working
to publish or promote acceptance of their presentation.

Course Format
Students will read class material, study best practices and not-so-best practices, compare and contrast
real-world examples, engage in problem solving, and participate in discussions related to the course

Page 2 of 12
BANA 6037 - Data Visualization Revised on 8/22/2024
Syllabus for Fall Semester 2024 / First Half Semester J. Shaffer
material. Students will also practice applying the techniques and best practices discussed to real-world
problems.

Required Software
A significant amount of time that students spend completing their assignments will involve the use of
visualization software. There will be instruction in using Tableau Desktop Professional (Student License
Key is provided for class).

Students will be able to learn the basic features of Tableau through in-class instruction, training videos
that are posted in Canvas, self-directed studies or by using available resources online. The instructor is
also willing to help with specific questions or techniques as needed.

Students may use any technology platform for their projects, as long as work is presentable for in class
review, and accessible for review by the course instructor. If there is any question about whether work
can be accessed for review or presentation (e.g., if it is not created in Tableau), you must check with the
instructor prior to submitting your work.

Microsoft Windows and Excel can be purchased from the University Bookstore for a nominal charge if
needed. A fully licensed version of Tableau Desktop is made available to each student for the duration
of the class, or if preferred, the student may use the freely available Tableau Public software for non-
proprietary and non-confidential data.

A full copy of Tableau Desktop is also available to full-time students for free for a year, available from
Tableau. Tableau Desktop Professional is available for both Apple Macintosh and Windows operating
systems.

Expectations of Students
Students are expected to prepare and participate by:

1. Reading scheduled assignments each week


2. Participating in class discussions posted on Canvas, projects, and quizzes
3. Completing the assigned homework projects by the due date
4. Participate in Group Projects

Students are expected to complete each test, exam, homework, and all other assignments
independently. The student’s submissions must represent his or her individual work, and citations must
be provided where content from other sources is referenced. Also, you may not re-use a data set from
one project to another; you must start with a completely new data set each time.

Students will be assigned to groups for the purpose of completing specific assignments. It is important
that you participate as necessary in the groups to complete assignments. Low participation in your
group may affect your final grade for any group assignments.

Academic Integrity
If there is a question about the academic integrity of a submission, or if it is believed that a submission
does not fully represent the unique work of the student or assigned group members, the instructors will
take all appropriate action in accordance with the university policy on Academic Misconduct and
Plagiarism (Academic Integrity). This includes issuance of an “F” grade for the course. Group projects
should be collaborative only within your group and not shared between groups.

Syllabus for Fall Semester 2024 / First Half Semester J. Shaffer
As with all Lindner College of Business efforts, this course will uphold the highest ethical standards,
critical to building character (the C in PACE). Ensuing your integrity is vital and your responsibility. LCB
instructors are required to report ANY incident of academic misconduct (e.g., cheating, plagiarism) to
the college review process, which could result in severe consequences, including potential dismissal
from the college. For further information on Academic Misconduct or related university policies and
procedures, please see the UC Code of Conduct (Code of Conduct).

Accessibility Resources
Students with disabilities have the right to full and equal access at the University of Cincinnati. The

Religious Accommodations
Ohio law and the University’s Student Religious Accommodations for Courses Policy 1.3.6 permits a
student, upon request, to be absent for reasons of faith or religious or spiritual belief system or
participate in organized activities conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or
other religious or spiritual organization and/or to receive alternative accommodations with regard to
examinations and other course requirements due to an absence permitted for the above-described
reasons. Not later than fourteen days after the first day of instruction in the course, a student should
provide the instructor with written notice of the specific dates for which the student requests
alternative accommodations. For additional information about this policy, please contact the Executive
Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access at (513) 556-5503 or [email protected].

LCB Weather Related and Emergency Protocol


When inclement weather threatens the safety of the University of Cincinnati community, the Senior Vice
President for Administration and Finance may invoke University Rule 3361: 10-55-01 and declare an
emergency closing. There will be an announcement posted on Canvas and if possible, on the local news
channels (TV and radio). Communications related to University closures will also be sent to the student’s
cell phone number on record through the automatic University emergency text messaging system.
Students should notify the University if they change their cell phone number to ensure they will receive
these important emergency communications. The Lindner College of Business will observe the university
emergency closing protocol for all on-campus classes. During a university emergency closing, all college
offices will be closed.
Students should clarify with their course instructors how the closure will affect assignments and
deadlines, and whether class information from the missed session(s) will be posted on Canvas, and/or if
the class will meet virtually during the closure.

In the event of inclement weather and the university is closed, the closure will not affect online courses.
All course assignments and activities will remain as scheduled in the course syllabus.

Syllabus for Fall Semester 2024 / First Half Semester J. Shaffer
Group Member Feedback and Grading
For group projects, the instructor may allow for members to provide feedback on contributions and
work effort of other group members. This feedback may be taken into account in issuing individualized
grades for group projects. In other words, the input of your group members may positively or negatively
affect your grade on these projects.

Extra Credit Assignment


Each student has an opportunity to earn extra credit by completing one additional assignment. The
extra credit assignment is an individual assignment (no group extra credit assignments).

Students may select ONE of the three options below for their extra credit assignment:

1) Participate in the Makeover Monday Project (Makeover Monday)


a. The Makeover Monday dataset has been published every Sunday since 2016. Use any
Makeover Monday dataset and create a makeover of the chart using the provided data.

2) Create a Data Visualization


a. Identify a dataset (for example, information about schools’ performance in Ohio,
economic reports, government, or corporate report, Kaggle, Makeover Monday, etc.).
b. Create a Data Visualization using the dataset you found (similar to Project #1).

3) Pick a topic from Dear-Data.com or Dear-Data-Two.com and create your own post card. You are
welcome to mail it to someone you know, but please take a high-resolution picture of both sides
of the card to submit for your extra credit assignment. See Examples: Dear-Data.com by Giorgia
Lupi and Stefanie Posavec and Dear-Data-Two.com by Jeffrey Shaffer and Andy Kriebel.

Quizzes
The quizzes will cover the concepts and material in each of the first 3 classes. Students will be expected
to apply the class readings and lectures in answering the test questions. The quizzes will be taken online
through Canvas. Without prior approval, prior to the quiz time, make-up opportunities are limited to
documented emergencies. Instructor discretion is used in determining whether a situation constitutes
an emergency. Quizzes are multiple choice and short answer (a few sentences at most).

Projects
Through a variety of projects, we will analyze best practices and compare and contrast with not-so-best
practices. Students will learn to critique good and bad data visualizations and will be required to create
and recreate various data visualizations using various sets of data. The final project will be interactive in
nature and not simply a static chart. Points will be deducted for final projects that are not interactive.

Homework
Homework assignments will be given in this class and are due by the date and time indicated in the
syllabus or as indicated by the instructor.

Submission of Homework and Project Deliverables

Page 6 of 12
BANA 6037 - Data Visualization Revised on 8/22/2024
Syllabus for Fall Semester 2024 / First Half Semester J. Shaffer
Students must submit all required assignments and supporting work via Canvas. The submission time
listed in Canvas will be used to determine whether an assignment is on time or late. If multiple
submissions are received, the final submission will be considered for grading (along with determining if
the assignment was submitted on time). Submissions that are “in progress” or “draft” status in Canvas
at the designated due date and time will not be considered submitted. For group projects, the
designated spokesperson is responsible for submitting all materials on behalf of the group.

Late Assignments
Late assignments will receive a deduction of 5% per day, beginning with a 5% deduction for assignments
turned in past the date and time due. Assignments more than 3 days late will not be accepted.

Adjustments to Assignments, Schedule, and Syllabus


The scope, timing, and due date/time of any assignments, projects, homework, exams, or any other
required work may be adjusted by the instructor as needed to maximize learning opportunities for
students and/or better serve the goals of the course. The syllabus may likewise be modified at the
discretion of the instructor.

Any adjustments will be communicated to students in class and on Canvas with as much advance notice
as possible.

Generative AI Policy
The use of Generative AI in this course is highly encouraged and can be used to whatever extent possible
and in whatever way possible. This includes tools such as Chat GPT, Open Source LLMs (ex. Llama 2),
image generation (ex. Midjourney, Stable Diffusion), or any other Generative AI tools. Please cite
Generative AI sources for any content used in the course, including images, code created, or written
content. Pease note that output from Generative AI may not be entirely accurate and could even be
hallucinated. Be sure to check any content or output created by Generative AI.
