Select either one task that contains multiple parts -or- select at least two tasks. Complete your selected task or tasks by sharing your answers as your initial post. Your initial post should be two to three paragraphs in length. Use current APA formatting to cite your sources. Make your initial post by the fourth day of the module week. Start your post by identifying the task number that you completed as well as the figure it relates to. For example, Task 7, Figure 5. Return to the discussion later in the module week to read and reply to at least two of your classmates posts. In your replies, explain what stood out about your classmates posts and then give an example of data visualization that you have found helpful in your life. Discuss why you found it useful. Your replies should be at least one paragraph. Review the Discussion Rubric for detailed grading instructions.
