Unit 4 Assignment

Introductions

Data visualizations can be used in many different ways. They paint a picture of data to make
it easier to interpret and understand. They are important for decision-makers because it
gives them the opportunity to see analytical results presented visually, find relevance among
variables, and predict the future.

Instructions

Imagine that the director of your department has tasked you with creating a presentation for
your organization that illustrates a health issue.

Go to the Kaplan Library and research a health topic (obesity, diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, etc.). Locate scholarly sources that represent the data in a visual way (infographics,
charts, graphs, etc.). Data visualizations may come from the CDC, NIH, American Heart
Association, American Diabetes Association, National Association of Mental Illness,
American Cancer Society, etc. You must use highly credible sources.

Use the template provided in the Doc Sharing area to complete your assignment.

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation using visual representations of the data from
highly credible sources. There should be detailed speakers notes for each slide. The
presentation should be in the following format:
● Title slide
● Introduction slide
● Data visualization (3-4 visualizations, one on each slide).
In the speaker notes area, provide a detailed description of that data in the
visualizations.
● Analyze the data visualizations on the slides and within the speaker notes. (1-2
slides)
● Discuss how these visualizations can assist with organizational decision-making for
program development. (1 slide)
● Recommend organizational action based on the combination of data from the
visualizations. (1 slide)
● Conclusion slide
● Reference slide(s)
