REMINDER…
End of semester course evaluations~
You can access their course-rating surveys in three ways: through a link in the email you receive, by clicking on a link you see when they log into Blackboard, and through a mobile app for Apple and Android smartphones. Complete your course evaluations before December 19th.

Visual Accuracy Test

The Hermann Grid

Before our next class meeting, take some time to look at the data sets provided (via my email to you) and think about your experience with the materials on-site. What was most interesting or striking to you about the materials? What would kind of questions or connections came to mind as you looked at specific materials? What questions came to mind when you considered the collection as a whole? Of the sets data we’ve been provided, what parameters or combination of parameters (dates, call numbers, titles/descriptions, subjects, locations, names, tags, etc) are most interesting, and what formats might be best to visualize them?

Comment on this post with your thoughts! (I will be approving the comments as they come in, so if yours doesn’t show up immediately it just means it’s been held for approval.)

Stamen Design: Energy Efficiency in the San Gabriel Valley
Is “efficiency” negative or positive? What’s the community vs. individual resident impact? Note grid density encoding.

State of the Polar Bear
Data density, multiple forms, compare across small multiples. “Drilling down.” Interface cues, multiple access points for the same data. Audience?

Homework:

1) Data collection for midterm. Continue to gather your data! Add a category or a new method of collection.  A new way of collection you want to try? Now that you’ve been collecting for a week, is there another category of data you’d like to add?

2) Processing. Look at the three example sketches for this week, read through the comments and code until you have a good understanding of how it works.Email me if you have any questions. Then create the following two sketches:
a) See if you can modify myAgesArray.pde to include the names of your classmates below  the circle representing their ages. Make a string array and use the text() function in the loop to print the names.
b) Extend the functionality of the above program to load an external text file with your classmate’s names. You’ll have to create the text file, add it to the sketch, and use loadStrings( ) to get it into an array.

Reading on Arrays, if needed: Ch. 10 in Getting Started With Processing (pp141-150); Ch. 9 in Learning Processing (pp141-162)
