Data Vis @ TAU

Tel Aviv UniversityInstructor

I teach Data Visualization at Tel Aviv University, covering visual encoding, dashboard design, storytelling, and the practical craft of turning complex data into clear visual arguments.

Course Iterations

Across recent semesters, the course has combined conceptual foundations with hands-on visual analysis work. It starts from visual perception, task abstraction, and the grammar of charts, then moves through chart families, dashboard composition, critique, and data-driven storytelling, with Tableau used as a practical environment for implementing and evaluating visual ideas.

This page collects shared materials from multiple iterations of the course together with links to individual semester pages.

Course Outline

  • Recent iterations begin with intro to data visualization, Tableau, and task/data abstraction.
  • The middle of the course focuses on marks and channels, chart families, arrangement, and dashboard design.
  • Later sessions cover data preparation, critique, and storytelling with visual analytics.
  • Coursework typically combines in-class exercises, homework, and a final dashboard-based analysis project.
