Supervised Data Project

Objectives

The curricular unit "Supervised Data Project" will serve to consolidate the concepts learned in the curricular units of the first semester, through one of the essential processes for the acquisition of "hard and soft skills": experience. In this curricular unit, students will have to carry out a group visualization project.

The main objective of this course is to provide a real production environment independent of visualizations. Students should be able to apply the knowledge acquired in the curricular units of the previous semester independently, serving the chair teacher only as moderator of the process. At the end of the semester the student should have:

  • Acquired practical experience in the construction and evaluation of visualizations;
  • Learned to make decisions regarding the treatment and representation of data autonomously.
