FTA 3200 - Data Visualizations & Analytics

Description

The goal of the class is to teach students how to extract information from large datasets and present it via visual objects. The course is built with an emphasis on application where students will gain hands-on experience with various data visualization techniques. Students will use SAS Viya for Learners to manage and manipulate raw data to create visual stories that answer research and business questions. Students will also see a short introduction to Tableau as an alternative to SAS Visual Analytics. Students have the option to earn several SAS badges and certificates throughout the semester.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Students will be able to load their data tables into SAS Visual Analytics and manipulate the data to create various variables (measures, categories, hierarchies, and geographies).
• Students will be able to use SAS Visual Analytics to create visual objects to learn about the data and to create information from the data.
