III-V (2019)

Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

The students learn about the possibilities and challenges of visualizations that go beyond static ones – animated, dynamic and interactive visualizations require skills beyond traditional graphic design. They develop their groupwork skills and learn a systematic approach for combining data analysis, visual design and interaction design into a complete prototype.

Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

During the semester the students work on theoretical topics, which are presented to others, follow lectures given by experts, and apply design and research methods into their own visualization project, which should reach advanced prototype stages by the end of the course.

Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Lectures once a week with discussions, lectures and student presentations. Groupwork on theoretical topics and the prototype. To pass the course 80% attendance is required, as well as completed assignments and a prototype. The groups get a shared grade for their work.

Workload (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

60 hours of contact teaching, independent work 100 hours minimum, 6-8 ECTS

Study Material (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Colin Ware: Information Visualization – Perception for Design, plus other material distributed in class and online.

Substitutes for Courses (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Replaces former DOM-E5033 Dynamic Visualization 1 and DOM DOM-E5034 Dynamic Visualization 2.

Prerequisites (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Recommended courses: DOM-E2100 Information Design 1, DOM-E5032 Software Studies for Media Designers or DOM-E5060 Software Studies: Programming for Artists (or similar skills acquired elsewhere), DOM-E5108 From Data to Pixels.

Grading Scale (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):

The order of priority for admitting students to courses at Aalto ARTS 1.1.2018 onwards (approved by The Committee of Arts, Design and Architecture on 10.10.2017)

The order of priority is as follows:

  1. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have scheduled it for the current academic year in their personal study plan (HOPS);
  2. exchange students for whom the course is a part of his/her officially approved learning agreement and scheduled to be taken during the current semester;
  3. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have not completed it yet;
  4. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major’s or programme’s alternative studies and has been scheduled in the student's PSP (HOPS) for the current academic year
  5. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major’s or programme’s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
  6. students for whom the course is compulsory for their minor;
  7. students, for whom the course is part of his/her minor subject’s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
  8. students who have applied for the course through a student mobility scheme (internal mobility within Aalto University, flexible study right (JOO) studies etc.);
  9. other students.

 

Courses that are intended to be multidisciplinary (e.g. UWAS courses) may apply an order of priority based on the learning outcomes of the course, while bearing in mind the university obligation of enabling students to complete their degrees within the normative duration of study set for the degree. The order of priority does not apply to courses organised by the Centre for General Studies or doctoral courses.

This decision on the order of priority does not influence the right of the teacher to define prerequisites for the course.
