Course Learning Objectives:

● To understand why Data visualization helps to tell stories by curating data into a form easier to
understand, highlighting the trends and outliers.

● To learn how a good visualization tells a story, removing the noise from data and highlighting the
useful information.

● To learn how it can give data meaning to a broader audience.

● To learn how to use Visualization gives us a way to parse and understand data so that we can add it to
our stories, we can incorporate it into our thinking,” Fields says.

● To define the structure and components of a Visualization.

● To learn how to create Dashboard.

● To learn how to Refine Data in Watson Analytics

● To learn how to build Cards in exploration.
