In Professor Andreas Karatsolis’ class 21W.015, Writing about Sports, students improve their writing skills by combining their passion for sports with data analysis and descriptive visualization. To convince their peers about World Cup and other sports predictions, students present and share evidence in compelling ways. The practice and experience of taking data and telling a story about it helps students gain confidence as effective communicators.
