Subject: Analyzing & Visualizing Data
Question 1: Write a 300+ word essay (APA format & 2 latest scholarly journal article references 2016 on words)
Under Formulating Your Brief, Kirk (2019) presented the list of roles or “hats” of data visualization design.  In 2012, the author presented the same topic but with a total of 8 “hats”.  After reading the information from 2012 (his discussion and the slide presentation he includes), compare the information discussed in our text.  Please provide your perspective why there is a change from 2012 to 2019.  This perspective would be your own opinion. This would not be research discovered about the differences from another source.  Please include the following:
  1. What are the similarities and the differences in these two lists of roles?
  2. Why do you think the list has been refined to the list presented in 2019?
  3. What is your suggestion for the next revision and why?

Question 2: Write a 3+ page paper (APA format & latest scholarly journal article references 2016 on words)
Hats/Roles/Self Assessment
As Kirk (2019) noted, there are certain roles or responsibilities he listed as “hats” of data visualization design. 
We have covered this topic under Formulating Your Brief, and we have added information as we progressed through the material in subsequent chapters. 
The design is critical to any data visualization which makes the roles/responsibilities critical to success.
Please review the “7 hats” topic under Formulating Your Brief.   The assignment is to provide a summary of these 7 roles using your own wording. Please include the capabilities and attributes for each. 
* You will need to be performing a type of self-assessment of your skills, knowledges, strengths that are associated/required for each of the 7 roles. 
* Please document these for each of the 7 roles and include the areas of improvements.
* We are all constantly learning and expanding skills so there will not be a 100%, one to one match with no improvements needed.
* We can all improve in some area.   Of the areas you note are areas of opportunities or improvements, what are some actions to acquire those? 
* Are there any that you feel you will possible never acquire? 
* Are there any attributes that you would possibly rely upon being fulfilled by team members on any given project/effort?
