My experience crafting these visualization was slightly difficult. The Coeducation Report given to us did not contain a large amount of data to be able to create several different visualizations for. I was eventually able to find a part of the report that had a large data set that I knew would work well to visualize. My visualizations are accessible as I have included the data set at the bottom of the post as well as the file I used to create the first two data visualizations in Excel. I would improve the visualizations if I had more time by looking at the report more in depth and tracking every aspect of data I could find so that I created a comprehensive report. This comprehensive report would allow me to create several different visualizations instead of the same data set I have know. Some help resources I used along the way included previous articles and videos we had for homework as well as looking up how to exactly use RAWGraphs which I think I still have a lot to learn on. One way I could visceralize the data is to highlight the part of each visualization showing how strong the case for “con” is in the data set. I could also add in a little point of how there is an overwhelming opposition to coeducation for those who graduated before 1950 and less division among alumni who graduated after 1949. This would help add another layer to understand the data better as it could be confusing with no context

Pictured above is data collected from the coeducation report. It specifically is looking at the letters written from alumni and tracking their stance if Washington and Lee should be changed.

The same data set is shown above through a line chart.

The data set is shown above using several different pie graphs. Each pie graph is a different decade. I created this using rawgraphs.io.

 

The data set I used can be found here: Coeducation Report Data
