Data Visualization (Supplemental)

Data visualization is crucial for communicating your work to your audience. During Module 2 we introduced you to data visualization and had you walk through the notebooks, but we wanted to provide you with additional data visualization material that will help you think about how to effectively communicate your research.

Team size (Supplemental)

In the ds_iris_umetrics.dbo.semester data table, there is a variable for team size. This variable was pre-constructed for you, but there are many ways a researcher might want to think about team size. We provided you with an additional notebook that walks through constructing a measure for team size. If this is an important element of your research, we encourage you to walk through the supplemental notebook and construct your own measure of team size. This notebook is also a more advanced addition to the 04_Measurment.ipynb notebook, showing you how to create a measure from the administrative data provided by UMETRICS.
