Intro

Welcome to the wiki for the course Social data analysis and visualization (02806) offered by the Technical University of Denmark. This is the main page, where you can access the weekly exercises. If you take a look in the side-bar, you can read about the administrative details (including a very useful course overview), assignments, books, and more.

The class is taught flipped classroom style, where the the lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. You'll be able to view short video lectures before (or during) the class session, so in-class time can be devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions. Check out the first lecture to learn more.

Assignments

• Assignment 1 will be made available here.
• Assignment 2 will be made available here.

Exercises

• Week 1: Introduction. This week is all about getting started. This year (unlike previous years), we start with visualization. We begin the lecture by introducing the point and methodology of the class. In the second part, we get started on learning how to use D3.js. D3 requires knowledge of javascript so we'll take it slow. But the good news is that D3/javascript is amazing and not that difficult once you wrap your head around it. You can also see the week's lecture here on github, but the videos won't display properly
