This webinar updates Darrell Huff's concepts, teaching you data literacy, the ability to read, understand, argue with, and make decisions from information. It will help you to spot misleading and exaggerated statistics by others and make you aware of the potential pitfalls involving data, whilst conducting your own research and data visualisations.
The topics covered loosely follow Darrell Huff's original chapters:
