MTHD604 Data Visualization & Communicating Research Outcomes
This course introduces graduate students to principles of data visualization, narrative communication, and ethical storytelling for UX and HCI professionals. Students will learn to synthesize research findings into clear, meaningful visual stories that inform design and business decisions. Emphasis is placed on accessibility, visual hierarchy, and narrative framing. Students will use Figma as the primary design tool, focusing on clarity, composition, and communication rather than complex analytics. By the end of the course, students will be able to design accessible visualizations, critique the work of others, and reflect critically on the ethical dimensions of data storytelling in science and design.
