Question 1
This dubois_week10 dataset is from the Du Bois Visualization Challenge 2024 GitHub and contains occupations of the 330 black graduating class of year 1900, and the percentages of those graduates with those listed occupations. It contains 12 observations with 2 variables (columns) and 6 rows. The variables are Occupation (Occupations of the 330 “negro” graduates of Atlanta University as of 1900) and Percentage (Percentage of graduates with this occupation).
The Clark Atlanta University’s (formerly known as Atlanta University) Undergraduate Degree Recipients Dataset is from the Office of Planning Assesment, and Institutional Research at Clark Atlanta University. It consists of data from 5547 students who have graduated each year from 2013 to 2023. The dataset contains 12 variables (columns) and 28 observations (rows). The variables are CIP(CIP education code), MAJOR (the specififc major), and each graduating year containing how many students graduated with each major, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23.
I will be comparing the occupations and major degrees from Atlanta Univesrity’s graduating class from 1900, and the graduating class of its new name Clark Atlanta University’s 2023 graduating class to see if there are any differences in black occupation, how occupation/degree interests have changed for black students, and see if there is a new variety in most favorable or least favorable major/occupation .

Now, The Final Patchwork for Data Visualization and Comparison of all Plots
Question 3
My visualizations are effective because both easily display my data clearly and without using too much cognitive power. Although this was a small dataset, I decided to add a second dataset to analyze to compare and contrast the majors/ occupations of black students from 1900 and 2023.I worked to make sure that I did not oversimplify or over complicate my aesthetics and texts so that it would remain easy to understand the information on both of my plots. I chose my color choices wisely to support the large number of variables in the cau dataset, which required me to implement and eliminate color in certain plots. Both bar plots showw a representation of each occupation and major’s percentage, and my pie charts show the distribution of each occupation and major’s’s percentage. I also highlighted the most common occupation in each barplot to even make my bar plots even more to the point. My piechart plots are also interactive which allow my viewers to be able to interact with each piece of the plot and clearly see areas of the pie chart that may be hard to read with the naked eye due to the large amount of variables. I made sure to use appropriate labeling and rainbow palettes when necessary to allow a wide range of viewers to comprehend my information. My color palettes allow me to demonstrate the distinctness of each occupation, making each plot easy to follow. I also made sure my colors were color-blind friendly.
According to the barplots, Atlanta University’s 1900 graduating class’s most popular occupation was being a Teacher, but now in 2023, the college’s most popular career interest is in Mass Media Arts. Looking at the barplots, Education once occupied more than half of the graduating class, but in 2023, Education-related degrees makeup less than 3% of Clark Atlanta’s graduating class. Another thing to note, is the fact that there are over twice as many career interests being occupied by black graduates proves how much time are changing and how much the work occupation has evolved. In the 1900 graduating class, Business was not very common among the graduates. However, in the 2022-2023 graduating class, Business Administartion is the second highest major degree received that year. Black students are increasing growing into spaces and receiving more opportunities where doors were once closed.
