What was the most interesting/thought provoking idea in the news item you chose?
What question would you like to ask Cathy? (You won’t all get a chance to ask her a question on Tuesday, but some of you will, so this could actually happen.)

In these cases, just pick additional ones to get you up to five.)

In what ways can color be used in a visualization? How should this affect the colors that we choose?
There are several kinds of plots presented in these chapters. Which are familiar to you? Which are unfamiliar? Were you immediately able to understand the information displayed by an unfamiliar plot type? If not, what did you need to do to learn to understand the plot? What implications does this have for your project?
How does Wilke suggest bars of a bar chart should be ordered?
Give an example of a type of plot that works well for some data sets but poorly for others. (There are several examples given in these chapters.) What criteria is Wilke using when he says a type of plot works well or poorly?
What does Wilke have to say about the use of pie charts? How does what he has to say about them compare with things you have read or heard elsewhere?
Reflecting over these chapters, what are the most important features of a good visualization?
What did you learn from these chapters that could be useful to keep in mind as you design your project?
