This course teaches students about information expression. Information expression involves collecting and analyzing the various and voluminous information that exists between people and things and between people and the environment, and is a method for designing a form that accurately conveys information. Through exercises, students learn how to design information according to different objectives and information consumers. They also improve information expression by evaluating and measuring whether information was correctly conveyed. This expression is not done based on subjective feelings; rather, students give various ideas a specific form by structuring and visually representing information. These ways of thinking foster the ability to identify problems when conducting research and help with analyzing data and conveying results.
