First, I found the doc of datasets to be extremely helpful. Watching Lena Groeger's video helped me visualize the different kinds of charts I can use in my final. To be honest, I’m not sure if I’m working backwards but I would like to do something like the chart above with the circles and using the stroke pt. to indicate the quantity of something. Some dataset I found that I could do this design with is weather records, crime reports, and job records. For each of these, I could use color to indicate a yes or no answer and with the stroke weight show quantity of something.
For my final, if I wanted to collect data, I came up with an idea while sitting in class on Monday. I got to class about half an hour early, and I thought it would be interesting to see what time students arrive in class. On average, how early or late do people arrive? how many are on time? How many are late? Just a thought.
