Module # 2 Google Table, Tableau and Geographic map

Tableau and Geographic map

For this week's assignment, I worked with a dataset about public beach access sites in Florida, which includes over 100 locations with addresses and coordinates. I used Tableau to create a map showing where these sites are across the state. Counties with darker shading have more beach access points, while lighter counties have fewer. Pinellas County, where St. Pete Beach is located, stood out with a lot of access points. This makes sense since it’s a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

To improve the map, I would add a legend to explain the shading and labels to highlight important beaches like St. Pete Beach. Using dots or markers to show the exact locations of each access point would also make it easier to understand. These changes would make the map clearer and more helpful.

Final project in this class Spring 2025

Final Project: U.S. State Public-School Expenditures   Name: Issaiah Jennings   Course: LIS4317.001S25.15856 – Visual Analytics   Semester: Spring 2025   Software Used: RStudio   Step 1: Selecting the Dataset For this project, I decided to work with the Anscombe U.S. State Public-School Expenditures dataset, which comes built into R, so it was easy to access and start working with. I chose this dataset because it includes a solid mix of variables related to education spending and student outcomes across all 50 U.S. states. It’s the kind of data that can help answer real-world questions about how money might impact education. Some of the main variables I focused on are: Expenditure per student – This shows how much each state spends on average for every student enrolled in public school. Graduation rate – This tells us what percentage of students are finishing high school in each state. Average income of residents – This giv...

Module # 5 assignment

Issaiah Jennings  Module # 5 assignment In this visualization, I explored two design frameworks: Part to Whole and Ranking, using the dataset containing Average Position and Time. Part to Whole: Pie Chart The pie chart shows how Time is distributed across different Average Position values. Each slice represents a proportion of Time for a given position, helping to visualize how much each position contributes to the total Time. This is a typical "Part to Whole" design, which makes it easy to see the relationship between the categories and their contributions. Ranking: Scatter Plot The scatter plot shows how Average Position affects Time. Each point on the graph represents a pair of Average Position and Time values. By looking at this, you can spot trends—like how Time increases as Average Position rises. This type of plot is great for understanding relationships and rankings between two variables. import pandas as pd  # Import pandas for data manipulation import plotly.express...

Assignment # 4: Time Series Visualization Using Tableau Public

Image
Time Series Visualization  The goal of this assignment is for you to  create a time-series visualization  using  Tableau Public  based on a curated dataset. You will work with  Monthly Modal Time Series data  sourced from  Data.gov , which contains  12 different variables I created a tree map to show the ridership of a select few cities in the dataset. A tree map is a great way to visually compare the relative size of each city’s ridership. The bigger the block, the higher the ridership for that city. From the tree map, it’s clear that Philadelphia has a much larger ridership compared to the other cities. This makes sense because it’s one of the largest cities in the U.S. with a dense transit system. This chart helped me quickly identify which cities are leading in ridership and which ones have smaller numbers. For the Area Chart, I focused on vehicle revenue miles, vehicle revenue hours, and ridership from 2014 to 2019. An area chart...
