PSYCH 315BB - Effective Data Presentation and Visualization

In Effective Data Presentation and Visualization, you’ll learn how to take your data and turn it into compelling stories that people actually understand and care about. Whether you’re working with multidimensional data or findings that require careful interpretation, this course will help you transform those insights into clear, impactful visuals, reports, and presentations. We’ll dive into practical techniques for creating visuals that engage your audience, strategies for developing professional, use-focused reports, and delivering powerful presentations. You’ll sharpen your skills in both written and spoken formats, learning how to make your data stand out and communicate effectively. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to design visuals that grab attention, develop reports that clearly convey your findings, and deliver presentations that resonate with different audiences. Through storytelling and thoughtful data design, you’ll learn how to bridge the gap between data analysis and real-world communication so that your data truly makes an impact.
