Final Project
The final project will be completed individually. Students will choose their own dataset and visualize that dataset on a professional, interactive website using D3 version 5 and other visualization tools. The final project includes a proposal, an alpha and beta release, feedback exercises, and a project demonstration video that will be shown during finals week.
Associated Assignments
Final Project Proposal (Due 04/02)
Final Project Alpha Release (Due 04/16)
Final Project Beta Release (Due 04/30)
Final Project Feedback (04/30 and 05/02)
Final Project Demonstration (Due 05/15)
Final Project Website (Due 05/16)
Requirements
Students must choose a dataset and create a professional website with several informative and interactive visualizations of that dataset. Some of these visualizations must use D3 version 5, but other visualizations may use any visualization tool. See the Final Website requirements for more details.
Proposal
Students must setup their final project website repository, as well as identify and describe a dataset for their final project. The instructor will quickly review the proposed datasets to make sure they will be appropriate for the final project. See the Final Project Proposal guide for details.
Releases
Students must create several releases of their project websites:
| Release | Description |
|---|---|
| Alpha Release | Includes one visualization prototype of your dataset. The prototype created for this release will be used in the instructor feedback exercise. |
| Beta Release | Includes two visualization prototypes of your dataset (one from alpha release and one new prototype). The new prototype created for this release will be used in the in-class feedback exercise. |
| Final Release | Includes the final version of the project website with all of the required content and visualizations. |
These releases must be submitted in Canvas by the deadline. See each section for additional details.
Feedback
Pending.
Demonstration
Instead of live project presentations, students must record and submit five minute final project demonstration videos. These videos will be shown during finals week in lieu of a final exam. See the Final Project Demonstration guide for details.
