In my data science course this year, we held a competition called "The Hunt for the Worst Data Visualization."

Some of their submissions, plus the silly names I gave them ()

#DataScience

The submission I used to kick this off:

"Indonesian Speakers of the World/Microscope Slide"

Another classic I used as an example:

"Excel Defaults"

From @narlu3

"Economy Wide Time Series"

From @gowthami_uofi

"Latvia: Land of the She-Giants"

From @fernandesmvitor

"SUCK IT EU"

From @LilaCardell

"What Positive Tests?"

From @theo_velentzas

"Covid Death Tornado"

From @PaavaniSachdeva

"2010: The Year the Asians Disappeared"

Finally, the winner this semester was @BigNyanzu with this unstoppable contender that beasted the competition:

"Ok, But What If We Used All of the Dimensions?"

Thanks to all my wonderful students for making this such a fun semester!

And if I forgot anybody please add your submission.
