Who Ranks Highest in Obesity Worldwide?
My group would benefit a lot if we used maps and data to express our information. Since we are focusing on different elections throughout history, we can use data from voters to how they felt about different president’s campaign. We can take data from individual states or the country as a whole and see how one sets of ideas favored some voters and another set of ideas favored other voters (Republican and Democratic).
The value of mapping can be useful when researching Presidential Elections, because many surveys are presented in a map form. One of the more famous maps is the one that shows which state will go Republican (Red) and Democratic (Blue). Im sure based on the topic of my group’s project we will be looking at this type of map from multiple elections or creating this type of map to help facilitate our project.
Phillip: where do you think you might find survey data in the format that it becomes useable in a map? See if you can have an answer for that to share with the class on Monday.
Also, do you think you could try to embed the map in your post rather than just posting a url? Give it a shot and let us know if you can’t figure it out.
Finally: be sure to read the Tufte article!
Yes followed the instructions (I think) that you had under the assignment. I got the URL and pasted into the post. I thought thats all you have to do and it will show up when published. I can definitely fix that just if you can tell me where i went wrong. Would do help a lot. Thanks
I figured it out (obviously) I was getting the URL link instead of the embedded link.
