Chapter 5: Section 5.3.1: Can be reworked to explain what to ask when deciding which type of chart to use (Reference - https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/types-of-graphs-for-data-visualization)

Section 5.3.2: Can be expanded to include the common types of data visualizations as sub-sections namely Charts, Tables, Graphs, Maps, Infographics, Dashboards (Reference - https://www.tableau.com/learn/articles/data-visualization). This would include clubbing the sections 5.4, 5.8, 5.9 as sub-sections into the above mentioned section.

Yes I completely agree with you.It would help to get more information about which charts to use. I also found this 'chart suggestions' image which can help us get a general understanding of which chart is more suitable for a particular data type. image source: https://eazybi.com/blog/data_visualization_and_chart_types/

REVISION PROPOSAL: In oder to expand section 5.3, I would recommend the following to provide a complete understanding of the steps that go into choosing the right visualization type:

Week2 - Milestone Section 5.3.1: What makes a visualization effective? (Reference - https://www.highcharts.com/blog/post/5-steps-to-create-an-effective-data-visualization/) (Reference - https://research.tableau.com/sites/default/files/Kosara-C4PGV-2016.pdf)

Week3 - Milestone Section 5.3.2: How to decide which chart type to use? (Reference - https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/types-of-graphs-for-data-visualization)
