  2. Course Objectives
    This course aims to introduce students to data visualization techniques and concepts using the R language. The course focuses on selecting appropriate visualization techniques for different types of data and emphasizes the effective communication of insights through visual representations. Students will gain hands-on experience with R and relevant packages to create a variety of visualizations, including bar charts, column plots, scatter plots, pie charts, heat maps, and network graphs. The course also covers customization options, data flow visualization, and techniques for presenting data effectively.
  3. Teachnig Method
    Use of English: This course will be conducted in English, and students are expected to use English whenever possible, including for homework assignments and other course-related activities. Attendance and Classroom Behavior: Class attendance and active participation are essential for success in this course.

  5. Assessment
    Assignments and Course Requirements: Assignments play a critical role in building your programming skills through practice. Each assignment gives you hands-on experience with different programming concepts and data processing techniques that you'll encounter in library and information settings. Late submissions will affect your grade, so please manage your time carefully and start working on assignments early. Detailed instructions for each assignment will be provided in class and posted on the course website. Handling Absences Due to Early Employment or Internship: If students anticipate being absent for an extended period due to early employment or internship opportunities, it is essential that they inform the instructor in advance. This proactive communication helps to minimize any potential negative impact on their academic progress and ensures appropriate arrangements can be made to support their learning. Exams: Exams are open-book, open notes, and AI tools are permitted on your laptop. You may use cameras for AI image recognition tools. While you can freely use and copy from AI outputs, relying solely on AI won't guarantee a high grade. The exam questions will test your understanding of information retrieval concepts and applications. Any form of communication with other people during the exam is prohibited. Other devices such as cell-phones and tablets, along with email and messaging apps, are also prohibited.
