Remarks:

• So lots of struggles here. Nice perseverance until the end though. In the future, a cursory inspection of your data before you begin analysis might reveal abnormalities or anomalies that are important to your project. Here, a simple summary() function revealed the date range of your tweets. If you had discovered this even a week earlier you would have had much more time to revise your project. This demonstrates why exploratory data analysis is crucial to research
• As far as the sentiment analysis goes, you executed it well and accurately interpreted the results
• Nice use of wordclouds to visualize term frequency - it's not something we discussed in class but you discovered on your own and applied it. Excellent!
• The shiny app is a nice component. Unfortunately it would not work on shinyapps.io. I could however get it to run on my computer when I cloned the repo
• The project organization is a mess. There are tons of files in your repo that I have no clue what their purpose is. If you kept the repo more organized and used Git to track file changes, I think you would have been able to execute this project a bit better. Check out ChihYu and Shun's project repo for a good working example
