About this course

Slava Razbash focuses on choosing a visual representation rather than learning a particular application. Scatterplots, lines, bars and distributions become alternative ways to answer a question, with attention to what each format makes easy or difficult to see.

The later lessons separate charts from infographics and dashboards, explain boxplots, and examine discouraged visual practices. Electricity-load examples help illustrate patterns that would be missed by assuming every relationship is a straight line.

Skills you’ll gain

  • Selecting a visual form for the relationship being explored
  • Distinguishing charts, infographics and recurring dashboards
  • Reading the main components of a boxplot
  • Recognizing crowded or misleading visual encodings

Five lectures total 64 minutes across four sections. Two introductory recordings account for about 41 minutes, followed by shorter focused discussions. Business experience may help but is not required. The instructor explicitly positions this as a course on what to show and why, rather than software operation.

No visualization subscription is needed to follow the concepts. A useful independent follow-up is to reassess a chart you already use and explain whether another format would make the comparison clearer; that is a suggested practice activity, not a project claimed to appear in the recordings.

Frequently asked questions

Does it teach Power BI or Tableau commands?

The stated purpose is visual reasoning and chart choice, not a sequence of commands in a specific tool.
