Extra credit: Tableau fundamentals with Lynda

January 28, 2019

Note: This extra credit is due to me via email before class starts Feb. 11.

On your Temple portal, you have access to a service called Lynda. It’s a video training company that LinkedIn bought a few years back and is now part of Microsoft, which acquired LinkedIn.

In either case, we are going to skip around a bit in the training to get you acquainted with it. It’ll will come in handy later. Once you’re in Lynda, you create a quick profile and search for Tableau. There’s a basics course there.

Instructions:

Basically it’s watch 3 of those Tableau videos in that second part (starting with the joining data). Get me a screen shot of the video and 3 bullets about what’s in the video.

The extra credit is 1 point tacked on to your final grade.

Go with:

  • Part 2: First 3 videos Connecting to data sources, joining data and related fields.
  • Part 3 videos: The first three: Displaying data underneath a workbook, adding…and reordering.
  • Part 4 first three videos.

That should get you enough info to digest a bit of part 5 and 6. Those areas will be in the in-class assignment and first assignment.
