FORENSIC DESIGN ASSESSMENTS

This task relates to a sequence of assessments that will be repeated across Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisation’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.

For this task, take a close look at the data representation choices:

  1. Start by identifying all the charts and their types
  2. How suitable do you think the chart type choice(s) are to display the data? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
  3. Are the marks and, especially, the attributes appropriately assigned and accurately portrayed?
  4. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
  5. Are there any data values/statistics presented in table/raw form that maybe could have benefited from a more visual representation?

(2). CHART VOCABULARY: CAPABILITIES

Evaluate your ability to potentially create as many as possible of the chart types presented in the Chapter 6 chart gallery. Go through each chart assigning a score based on the points system (0, 1, 2, 3) described in the ‘Influencing factors’ section at the end of the chapter.

(3). CHART VOCABULARY: THINKING

Building on your data familiarisation and editorial thinking work over the past two chapters, pick one of the subjects you have been looking at and follow one of three different data representation task tracks, referring to the book’s chart type gallery in each case:

  1. Identify a chart type that could be used to display the different editorial perspectives you identified in your brainstorming activity of chapter 4
  2. Identify as many chart types as possible that could show something interesting about the subject in general, though maybe not confined to the data you have been looking at
  3. Force yourself to identify at least 2 chart types from each of the 5 classifying chart families (CHRTS) that could portray different interesting editorial perspectives about this subject, starting with the data you have and then considering what additional data you would need to fulfil this activity

 Form a comparison between the British Industrial Revolution as well as the American and French political revolutions. Using this mental comparison, you will provide your own definition of revolution in the 18th and early 19th Centuries, following the instructions in Step 3. To support your definition, you will use an example of a catalyst from each of the three revolutions.

Step 3: Draw conclusions, and prepare your thesis.

Once you have done your research and have gathered enough information about your chosen example events, you should sit back to think about what they meant in a cultural view to see if you notice any trends and to have a better sense of what you want to convey about the time. Your thesis statement should offer your reader overall insight into the experiences you have chosen. Use the following guidelines to help decide on your thesis:

Define the term revolution in your own words, and defend that definition using the catalysts that gave reason for the revolts and the processes, major innovations, and the overall impact on Western society as seen between 1775 and 1850 in these three countries.A complete answer must include a minimum of one example from each of the three events that you can use to illustrate a significant change to that society.The final product should illustrate a revolution’s impact on the complete society, which could include government, economics, religion, and social roles.

One aspect of strategic planning is to develop a strong team of people. Discovering and retaining top talent may lead a company to success. Your goal for this discussion is to showcase why you would make a good candidate for an organization. To stand out from other candidates, you will want to write a cover letter for each position in which you apply. Cover letters allow you an opportunity to highlight your skills and competencies for potential employers.

For this discussion, you will develop a cover letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.

To write an impactful cover letter, you should answer the following questions before you begin composing it. Starting with these questions will help provide a clear and concise message for the person reading your cover letter.

  • Why are you interested in the position? Consider what makes the position, organization, or company interesting to you.
  • What three skills or competencies do you possess that match the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
    • You can find these skills by viewing the job description. These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be unique for each job for which you apply.

Begin by reviewing the following Forbes’ articles:

  • Forget Cover Letters – Write A Pain Letter, Instead!
  • Stop! Don’t Send That Cover Letter
  • Tips For The Perfect Resume And Cover Letter

Once you have reviewed the articles, identify a position of interest as a potential job opportunity. You may use any job search website. Two popular employment websites are: www.indeed.com and careerbuilder.com. After you identify a position of interest, use the job description to identify three skills or qualifications that match your background. Next, develop a cover letter by creating a three to four sentence paragraph highlighting your matching skills.

Paste the link of the job description you are interested in and the paragraph that you developed for this job application into the discussion forum.

Format:  Typed (word-processed) in a 12-point font – Times New Roman or 

similar, double spaced,  1 inch margins; cover sheet giving name, course number, essay title, and date.  Submit in .rtf or Microsoft Word format ONLY.

CITE  all source references using Chicago Manual of style format: www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html

Length:  At least 3, but no more than 4 pages.

Title:  Be creative, i.e. something other than “Essay 1” 

Content:  A.  Choose a recording of a short piece of music (under 10 minutes) that is one of 

your favorites or reflects a style that is very familiar to you..  This may include performances of classical or popular music, including rock, jazz, country, rap, or other popular styles. 

B.  Write a paper detailing your experience of this music.  Of the various musical elements discussed in class (melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, texture, dynamics, and form), discuss three of these elements that you believe contribute the most to the character of your musical selection.  If your selection has words, describe how the musical elements you discuss also emphasize or reinforce points or images in the lyrics.  

1.  TIP:  When writing this part of your paper, do more than just mention each element in one sentence, i.e., “the drums created a hard driving rhythm.  The melody was light and airy.”  Try to devote two a paragraph/two to three sentences to each of the elements you discuss.  Rather than give a “play-by-play” description of your selection, discuss how each of the elements you select affects your selection overall.  Alternatively, pick a specific point in your selection and discuss how the elements you discuss shape your selection at that moment.  Be sure to note in your paper at what point in your selection this point occurs, i.e. “at 4:55 into the track. . . .”

2.  TIP 2:  Try to use terminology from class where appropriate.  Refer to the material in Part 1 of your textbook covering musical elements (pp. 1-68) for help in identifying and describing these elements.

C.  Using resources available from the Collin Library or Collin Library website, find one or two sources that try to identify a musical style that applies to your selection, the artist behind your selection, or a similar artist or selection  Periodicals like Rolling Stone and Spin, among others, can be a good source for these sorts of questions and are available via the Collin Library website.  (Be sure to CITE the sources that you refer to – note that Wikipedia is NOT an appropriate source for this assignment). Why does that source apply that style to this music, i.e., what features suggest that style?  Do you agree that your selection reflects that style?  Why or why not?

D.  How do people listen to your selection, or music similar to your selection, and did they always listen to it this way?  Was/is the music intended to accompany another activity and, if so, what was that activity?  Alternatively, was the music meant to be listened to for its own sake?  Was the music created to be experienced at a certain time and/or in a certain place, or was it created with the idea that it could be experienced anywhere and anytime?

E.  How do you listen to this music?  Why do you listen to it in this way?
