assignment 2014

Task 1 Discussion

A search on the Internet will render numerous writers who have devoted time to writing about misrepresentations and how misrepresentations can be identified. In chapter 6 of your text, the author discusses trustworthy design in data representation (p. 216-218). In Kosara’s (2015) article regarding embellishment in bar charts, the author provides some simple concepts to identify embellished representation in bar charts. In the article by Flagg (2015), the author provides insight with five methods you can use to misrepresent data, using examples from the New York Times. Using information from these authors or from your own research, you can identify potentially misrepresented data.

For this week’s discussion, find a visual representation that may be misleading, describe you found to be misrepresented or misleading about the visualization. Make sure that you reference the visualization.

Remember your initial post on the main topic should be posted by Wednesday 11:59 PM (EST). Your 2 following posts should be commenting on your classmates’ post on different days by Sunday 11:59 PM (EST). You should end the week with 3 total discussion posts.

Your initial post should include your references, thoroughly present your ideas, and provide evidence to support those ideas. A quality post is more than stating, “I agree with you.” Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmate’s post. Additionally, post some examples or find a related topic on the internet or University’s library and comment on it in the discussion post.
