The course focused on learning different types of graphs that go beyond basic charts like bar graphs and line charts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"241\" data-end=\"521\">During the course, I learned about several unique plot types, such as ridgeline plots, violin plots, mosaic plots, and ternary plots, and when to use each one. I followed along with examples and practiced understanding how each graph helps show patterns and relationships in data.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"767\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">From this experience, I improved my ability to choose the right type of visualization and present data in a clear and simple way. These skills are useful for analyzing data and communicating insights in business and other professional settings. This activity relates closely to my coursework and career goals because it builds on the data analysis and visualization skills I am developing in my classes. Learning how to use more advanced and less common graph types helps me better understand different kinds of data and choose the most effective way to present it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none -mb-px h-px w-full opacity-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-testid=\"bazaar-late-ads-slot-observer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":31354,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tgleason\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/9","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tgleason\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tgleason\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tgleason\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31354"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tgleason\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tgleason\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/9\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tgleason\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
