Topic

You can find both data sets here. I used undergraduate fall 2019, and undergraduate fall 2020. I wanted to highlight the differences that COVID-19 had on the number of students and the total F percentage grade and compare the data between the two semesters. I found that fall of 2020 had almost three thousands less students compared to fall of 2019. I also found that the total F grade percentage from fall 2020 is almost three percent higher then the total of fall of 2019.

Media reflection

Instead of making a video or a podcast, I chose to make an infographic. For data sets, I felt this was the best option, as I didn’t know how to incorporate sounds or visual elements. An infographic was the best way for me to showcase my data trends.

Process

I chose to use Canva to make my infographic. I chose a premade infographic with an aesthetic I liked and customized it to fit my data report. I then used Google Sheets to make the graphs you see at the top of the post. I only used my computer to use this project.

Credit

For my pictures of graphs, I used Google Sheets to generate them. For my infographic, I used Canva. I did not use AI on this project.
