Midterm Clarifications
03/03/09 08:39
two clarifications:
1) in Part 2, you are asked to redesign "two parts" from the visualization in Part 1. the term part is given in Part 1 as: "Take a look at the visualization above, which has three distinct parts (migration, major metros, and urban sprawl), and write a visualization critique. "
2) you do not actually need the class survey data for the exam, just an understanding of the questions and data options.
and PLEASE DO NOT POST QUESTIONS TO THE FORUM. email them directly to Miriah.
