1. Course Objective
Data Visualization with Python course is designed to equip you with the fundamentals of data
visualization using Python, one of the most popular programming languages in the world. The course
covers a range of topics, including Introduction to Visualization with Python, Static Visualization,
Static to Interactive Visualization, Interactive Visualization of Data across Strata, Interactive
Visualization of Data across Time, Interactive Visualization of Geographical Data and more. Upon
completing the course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of data visualization with Python
and be able to create compelling visualizations that communicate complex data insights.

2. Pre-Assessment
Pre-Assessment lets you identify the areas for improvement before you start your prep. It determines
what students know about a topic before it is taught and identifies areas for improvement with
question assessment before beginning the course.

3. Quiz
Quizzes test your knowledge on the topics of the exam when you go through the course material.
There is no limit to the number of times you can attempt it.

www.uCertify.com
 uCertify course and labs are ADA (Americans with Disability Act) compliant. It is now more
accessible to students with features such as:

Change the font, size, and color of the content of the course
Text-to-speech, reads the text into spoken words
Interactive videos, how-tos videos come with transcripts and voice-over
Interactive transcripts, each word is clickable. Students can clip a specific part of the video by
clicking on a word or a portion of the text.

JAWS (Job Access with Speech) is a computer screen reader program for Microsoft Windows that
reads the screen either with a text-to-speech output or by a Refreshable Braille display. Student can
easily navigate uCertify course using JAWS shortcut keys.

8. State of the Art Educator Tools

uCertify knows the importance of instructors and provide tools to help them do their job effectively.
Instructors are able to clone and customize course. Do ability grouping. Create sections. Design grade
scale and grade formula. Create and schedule assessments. Educators can also move a student from
self-paced to mentor-guided to instructor-led mode in three clicks.

9. Award Winning Learning Platform (LMS)

uCertify has developed an award winning, highly interactive yet simple to use platform. The SIIA
CODiE Awards is the only peer-reviewed program to showcase business and education technology's
finest products and services. Since 1986, thousands of products, services and solutions have been
recognized for achieving excellence. uCertify has won CODiE awards consecutively for last 7 years:

10. Chapter & Lessons

uCertify brings these textbooks to life. It is full of interactive activities that keeps the learner engaged.
uCertify brings all available learning resources for a topic in one place so that the learner can
efficiently learn without going to multiple places. Challenge questions are also embedded in the
chapters so learners can attempt those while they are learning about that particular topic. This helps
them grasp the concepts better because they can go over it again right away which improves learning.

Learners can do Flashcards, Exercises, Quizzes and Labs related to each chapter. At the end of every
lesson, uCertify courses guide the learners on the path they should follow.

Each question comes with detailed remediation explaining not only why an answer option is correct
but also why it is incorrect.

Unlimited Practice
Each test can be taken unlimited number of times until the learner feels they are prepared. Learner can
review the test and read detailed remediation. Detailed test history is also available.

Each test set comes with learn, test and review modes. In learn mode, learners will attempt a question
and will get immediate feedback and complete remediation as they move on to the next question. In
test mode, learners can take a timed test simulating the actual exam conditions. In review mode,
learners can read through one item at a time without attempting it.
