1. Course Description

Provide a brief overview of the course, including critical topics and themes. This section should
summarize the purpose and importance of the course.

"This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, techniques, and tools of
data visualization. Students will learn how to transform raw data into meaningful visual
narratives that drive decision-making. The course emphasizes the art and science of creating
clear, compelling, and effective visual representations of data to uncover patterns, trends, and
insights.."

2. Course Objectives

 To understand various data visualization techniques

3. Learning/Course Outcomes

Outline what students are expected to learn by the end of the course. These outcomes should align with
the objectives and provide a clear idea of the skills and knowledge students will acquire.

1. Know the historical development and evolution of data visualization techniques.

2. Analyze and visualize high-dimensional datasets using appropriate techniques.

3. Visualize large multidimensional datasets using appropriate methods.

7. Assessment and Grading Policy

How students will be assessed throughout the course, including the percentage weight of each component.

 Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE): 25 Marks

o Mid-Term Examinations: Two mid-term exams will be conducted for each theory
subject. The average of both exams will be considered for the final CIE marks.

 Part A: Objective questions (10 marks)

 Part B: Descriptive questions (10 marks)

o Assignments : Assignments will contribute 5 marks

 Semester End Examination (SEE): 75 Marks

o The SEE will consist of Part A (25 marks) with compulsory short questions from all
units, and Part B (50 marks) with an "either-or" choice from each unit.

Grading Scale:

Grade Percentage

A 90-100%

B 80-89%

C 70-79%

D 60-69%

F Below 60%

 Passing Criteria as per R22 Regulations:

 o Theory Courses: A student must secure at least 35% in both the CIE (9 out of 25 marks)
and SEE (26 out of 75 marks), and a total of at least 35% (35 out of 100 marks) to pass.

o Practical Courses: Continuous internal evaluation and end-semester examinations will

be conducted, and students must meet the same minimum requirements as theory courses.

o Project Work: Evaluated over two stages, with specific criteria for passing. The final
project grade includes internal (CIE) and external (SEE) components.

Assessment Regulations (R22) of JNTUH:

 Internal Assessment: Continuous assessment through quizzes, assignments, and participation,

conducted as per the guidelines mentioned.

 External Assessment: End-of-semester examinations will include various formats (multiple-

choice questions, short answers, and essays) as per the syllabus.

 Attendance Requirement: A minimum of 75% attendance is required to appear for SEE, with
provisions to condone shortage up to 10% on valid grounds.
