My Reflection on Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 The tool which captivated me the most throughout the course was on visualization . Having   background on data visualization I always thought that the purpose of visualization was to   create fancy looking and sophisticated charts and graphs . But in the course , I was able to   understand visualizations from another aspect . I learnt that the key purpose was to bring   clarity to the situation and my approach on visualizations might have made the situation   more complex . I plan to use this approach with not just data but also expressing my views   and points on the situation . I personally feel that visualization goes hand in hand with mind   mapping which can provide more clarity to situations . This new found skill has been useful   for me as I noticed that people tend to misinterpret my statements and intentions . 

 Application 

 I make use of visualization and mind map to express my points and views . Example ,   previously I would try to explain the flow of a process using words and this often led to   misinterpretations . Now , after learning the visualization and mind map approach , I would   chart out a flow diagram and I felt that others are able to understand my points better .   Additionally , when doing PowerPoint slides , I would focus more on infographics , charts and   images as it provides a clearer picture . 

 As I am still a student , I am unable to put much of what was learnt into action and context   but I feel that as time passes , I will keep what was taught in this course at the back of my   mind and would apply it when I opportunity arises . A key takeaway would be keeping a   learning mindset as academia normally promotes and cultivates the fixed mindset . 

 Insights & Approach 

 I found that as I start applying the new visualization knowledge , the clarity of the message I   am conveying increase and this in turn led to a decrease in miscommunications during   project meetings and discussions . Furthermore , I am able to create visualizations in my mind   example , flow diagram which further enhance the clarity of my message . Although this is   just the tip of the iceberg , I am certain that I would be able to apply the multiple takeaways   from the course to not just my studies but also work and future personal life .
