ANL501 Data Visualisation and Storytelling aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to construct compelling data visualisations using a programming and reproducible approach. The course will delve into the core concepts of data visualisations grounded in the principles of Grammar of Graphics. Students will gain fundamental skills in R to acquire, transform and manage data for visualisation. Students will also become proficient in developing R programs to construct visualisations tailored for different data types including univariate and multivariate categorical and numerical data, time series data, and spatial data. Emphasis will be placed on the implementation of visualisation best practices in R in the context of reproducible workflow and the application of sound storytelling principles to create data-rich presentations for decision-making.
