Take a Sad Plot & Make It Better

In this talk, Alison will talk about one plot’s life cycle, from a sad Powerpoint slide to an Excel chart and finally to the finished product made with the ggplot2 package in R. Along the way, she will discuss why each version of the plot fails in different ways and how each iteration improved on the last one.

Being able to communicate about data, code, and insights gained are important skills we can strengthen in the classroom to make a real impact on students.
