The course project constitutes a major part of this course. You can do it
alone or create a team (2~3 people). You will choose a visualization
problem, e.g. "I want to visualize this data" or "I want to find a way to
visualize this type of data". The former, data-driven question mainly aims
to combine existing visualization techniques to effectively convey your
messages while the latter, method-driven question mainly aims to develop a
new way to visualize particular types of data. There is no clear cut
between them and it is fine to be creative. :)
