CSE512 Data Visualization

Uses Tufte books
10-week length course
Mainly theory of design, not much about application - students are expected to learn this on their own
Officially D3, but allows others. Not sure how much programming is directly taught (it's a CS course, so probably none)

Introduction to Data Visualization, Fall 2016

Geared towards journalists - a bit point and clicky
Good early breakdown of data and different graph types
Nice intro to R for the uninitiated

CS 360/CS 686 Data Visualization

No textbook
16 week course - way too much to squeeze into 10 weeks
Lots of modules on different data structures
Half R/half D3
Some theory of perception and visual design early

CS 171 - Visualization

Uses Visual Thinking for Design, Colin Ware, Morgan Kaufman, plus the D3.js intro textbook
Some programming labs instead of lectures, plus studio meetings to workshop each other's visualizations
Advanced JS methods
16 week course
Tu/Th meetings
- Tuesdays - programming labs/skills workshops
- Thursdays - perception/cognition/visual design
- I like this setup
Really interesting final projects
