In case you missed it, Oct. 28 was the final session for the class and dealt with Killer Visualizations and how to avoid making them.

The take-home final can be found here. And here are the project requirements.

I’ve also been continuing to add to my long-list of suggested readings. Among the latest additions are three books made free:

• Statistics Done Wrong
• Use the Index, Luke, a great guide for database optimization, something you’ll care about when you’re dealing with more than a few paltry million records.
• Time Series Analysis and Its Applications: With R Examples
