Course outline and revision prompts
Module 1
Tableau: Data foundations
Apply Tableau through problem framing, data types, tool setup.
Lesson
Key terms
Revision question

problem framing, Tableau, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a problem framing result produced with Tableau?
Data types with Plotly
data types, Plotly, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a data types result produced with Plotly?

Problem Framing: from context to evidence
Problem Framing connects question and source data to a checked finding in Data Visualization - Tableau & Python.
1Question and source data
Define the purpose, intended user and Tableau constraints.
frames
2Problem Framing
Write the decision first and identify the minimum supporting data.
produces evidence for
3Checked finding
Compare the observed result with a normal case, boundary case and stated limitation.
Takeaway: Problem Framing is credible only when the result can be traced back to its purpose, inputs and constraints. Problem Framing is the decision layer between the starting context and evidence that the result is fit for purpose.
Module 2
Plotly: Analysis
Apply Plotly through cleaning, exploration, modelling.
Lesson
Key terms
Revision question
Cleaning with Dashboards
cleaning, Dashboards, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a cleaning result produced with Dashboards?
Exploration with Tableau
exploration, Tableau, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a exploration result produced with Tableau?
Modelling with Plotly

Cleaning: from context to evidence
Cleaning connects question and source data to a checked finding in Data Visualization - Tableau & Python.
1Question and source data
Define the purpose, intended user and Dashboards constraints.
frames
2Cleaning
Profile first, state rules and retain an audit of changes.
produces evidence for
3Checked finding
Compare the observed result with a normal case, boundary case and stated limitation.
Review the evidence, adjust the method, and repeat.
Takeaway: Cleaning is credible only when the result can be traced back to its purpose, inputs and constraints. Cleaning is the decision layer between the starting context and evidence that the result is fit for purpose.
Module 3
Seaborn: Evaluation
Apply Seaborn through validation, uncertainty, communication.
Lesson
Key terms
Revision question

Uncertainty with Dashboards
uncertainty, Dashboards, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a uncertainty result produced with Dashboards?
Communication with Tableau
communication, Tableau, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a communication result produced with Tableau?

Validation: from context to evidence
Validation connects question and source data to a checked finding in Data Visualization - Tableau & Python.
1Question and source data
Define the purpose, intended user and Seaborn constraints.
frames
2Validation
Choose metrics tied to real error cost and inspect subgroups.
produces evidence for
3Checked finding
Compare the observed result with a normal case, boundary case and stated limitation.
Takeaway: Validation is credible only when the result can be traced back to its purpose, inputs and constraints. Validation is the decision layer between the starting context and evidence that the result is fit for purpose.
Module 4
Dashboards: Applied project
Apply Dashboards through workflow, review, reproducibility.
Lesson
Key terms
Revision question

workflow, Plotly, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a workflow result produced with Plotly?
Review with Seaborn
review, Seaborn, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a review result produced with Seaborn?
Reproducibility with Dashboards
reproducibility, Dashboards, data
In Data Visualization - Tableau & Python, which evidence best supports a reproducibility result produced with Dashboards?
Instructional figureOrdered timeline
Workflow: from context to evidence
Workflow connects question and source data to a checked finding in Data Visualization - Tableau & Python.
1Question and source data
Define the purpose, intended user and Plotly constraints.
frames
2Workflow
Organise scripts so every output can be rebuilt.
produces evidence for
3Checked finding
Compare the observed result with a normal case, boundary case and stated limitation.
Takeaway: Workflow is credible only when the result can be traced back to its purpose, inputs and constraints. Workflow is the decision layer between the starting context and evidence that the result is fit for purpose.
Course practical outcome
Produce a reviewable Data Visualization - Tableau & Python project using Tableau, Plotly, Seaborn.
Expected output: A working Data Visualization - Tableau & Python artefact plus an evidence-based self-review.
Tools: A suitable Tableau environment, A plain-text decision log, Test data or realistic sample material
Production steps
Define the intended user, outcome and constraints.
Create the smallest complete result using Tableau.
Test one normal case, one boundary case and one failure response.
Revise the work from the evidence and preserve before-and-after results.
Prepare a concise handover containing method, limitations and next step.
Success criteria
The output matches the stated outcome.
Inputs and decisions are reproducible.
Boundary and failure evidence is included.
Limitations and responsibility considerations are explicit.
Self-review
Can another learner repeat the method?
Did I test a difficult case?
Did I avoid unsupported claims?
Is the next action proportionate to the remaining risk?
Next step: Choose one weakness found during review and improve it before extending the Tableau scope.
