Objective<\/strong><\/p>\n The objective of the final project is for you to work with your instructor to find a community based data visualization research project. The project work entails:<\/p>\n Examples of previous community projects are listed below.<\/p>\n Due<\/strong><\/p>\n Nov. 28<\/strong>\u00a0in class time: Presentation<\/strong> of project\u00a0is scheduled for the last class. I will extend class time from 1-5:30 to fit all projects and students in, and I will split the class in half, and have students sign up for the first or second half.\u00a0For SEEDS projects, or other community based projects, your community partners can come to this class for the presentation.<\/p>\n Tues Dec. 12, 1:00\u00a0pm<\/strong>. Email to me a link to your blog site if it is different from your portfolio site.\u00a0 If you don’t post your essay to your blog site, email me the essay. I would also welcome hard copy of the essay in my box but it is not necessary.<\/p>\n Grade<\/strong><\/p>\n 45% of your final mark (overall portfolio additional 5%) encompassing 4 components of the project:<\/p>\n Late penalty: 1% \/day, weekends = 1% (one mark off your mark out of\u00a050)<\/p>\n Ultimately, you should find a community to work with, either by picking one of the projects already available, or through interests and contact you may have. \u00a0Some of these projects are in groups, some are done individually. Once you have a project idea, you are expected to review the project idea with your me and I will guide you as to the legitimacy of the project, scope of the project, expectations for the project, and if the project merits group work or individual work. There are some community projects that I have for students to work on – I will present these projects to the class, and students will be asked to write a brief email if they are interested in the project, and why.<\/p>\n When working with a community partner, whether in a group or alone, here are some steps for follow:<\/p>\n a) Review any information you have on the community. Get to know your community.<\/p>\n b) Set up an initial meeting with the community partner. At the meeting discuss:<\/p>\n Deliverables:<\/p>\n Budget:<\/p>\n Data:<\/p>\n Expectations:<\/p>\n Set up how you will communicate with the community partner for input during the mapping process.\u00a0For example:<\/p>\n You may use any technical software for mapping GIS work.<\/p>\n If you are doing a group project, only one copy of the technical deliverable\u00a0has to be handed in. \u00a0All members of the group will receive the same grade on the technical aspects of this project. If you are writing code, you must include your code and supporting documentation embedded in your code.<\/p>\n You will include information on your data on your blog site in your executive summary: Introduction to the project, Ben Fry’s data visualization pipeline (where did you acquire your data, how did your parse, filter, mine your data, any comments on represent refine and interact – similar to the metadata you did for your infographics)<\/p>\n Approximately 3,000 words, double spaced paper discussing:<\/p>\n a) Introduction to your project<\/p>\n b) Geospatial data visualization pipeline: summarize whole process, but detail should be on design decisions, (representation, refine and interaction (if applicable) decisions. Your discussions must draw from the lecture material and readings throughout the term, and from the course textbooks (Cairo and Tufte and cartography texts in GIC) as well as research articles that you find relevant to your particular topic when you discuss your mapping process and design decisions. The paper must be properly referenced.<\/p>\n c) a reflective learning about working with a community partner.<\/p>\n EVERY student, even in the group projects, must hand in an individual essay which is your own work. These will be individually graded for group projects and members of the same group will not receive the same mark. You need to work independently on this part of the project.<\/p>\n You have to present your project in lecture time, during the last week of classes. Your allotted time is 10 minutes.\u00a0Plan for speaking for 5-7 minutes with time for some questions. Group projects have longer time – plan for 5\u00a0minutes times the number of students, add 3 min per person for questions at the end.<\/p>\n For your presentations, describe your project: your community partner or idea\/audience; your deliverables, and how you achieved this – data, software, cartographic considerations. If you have specific questions for feedback, let us know.<\/p>\n This is for your portfolio\/blog site, and for your community partner, that will accompany and explain your\u00a0technical project. The executive summary should be approximately 500-1000 words, or\u00a0be 1-2 pages double spaced.<\/p>\n Generally, describe your project, and summarize the process\/methodology (community partner meetings, geospatial data pipeline steps…), discuss any design decisions, and any limitations of your project. The project or executive summary will be similar to what you will present to the class.<\/p>\n In some discussions with community partners, there were other deliverables outlined – mostly your technical datasets (AI files, ArcGIS shapefiles). The deliverables are for you and your community partner to clarify but please where applicable ensure you deliver to your community any datasets that will allow them to build on this project in the future.<\/p>\n 2016 Community Based Reserach Projects <\/strong><\/p>\n UBC SEEDS projects<\/p>\n other projects:<\/p>\n 2014 Community Based Research Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n 2013 Community Based Research Projects<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 2012 Community Based Research Projects<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Project Overview Objective The objective of the final project is for you to work with your instructor to find a community based data visualization research project.
