- The assignment (below) includes coding and reading
- Due: Midnight on Sunday, 26 Sep
- Check Canvas for submission details
- Learning goals
- Practice getting data into Observable
- Simple and quick charts with Plot
- Simple embedding
- Provide feedback -- especially if you think we're going too fast!!
- Ask questions in class or with piazza or during office hours
- Create an Observable notebook
- Get some data into the notebook via an API or an attached file
- It should be tabular data such as CSV (or easily made into tabular data)
- The data can be something that you've worked with in the past or are thinking about for a term project
- It must be clean and readily accessible -- you do NOT want to spend a lot of time accessing cleaning, organizing
- If you're not sure what to use for data, contact me -- either office hours or arrange a time to connect on Teams
- Visualize the data with Observable Plot
- Something basic is fine.
- In your notebook, describe the purpose/meaning of the visualization (in a couple sentences)
- Make sure you cite any and all references that you used (data sources, publications, notebooks, websites, etc.)
- Embed the visualization in your gh-pages site
- Create a new page on your site or use the page that you created in Assignment #1 last week
- Add some descriptive text that explains to the reader what it is they're looking at and why it's interesting.
- Note: the audience for your website may be different than the audience for your Observable notebook
- This entire assignment need not take a lot of coding.
- Extra Credit: Major awards for 3 submissions (criteria: clean well-documented code, compelling story & visualization)
