This week

I think that the way we did lecture this week sounds great on paper, but when actually being put into practice might not be that great. I think it still has potential to be very helpful and useful, but some things, in my opinion, would need to be changed. The biggest issue I found with the way we did lecture this week was the fact that we were trying to follow along but I know for a fact that no one in the class was able to keep up in terms of our own program. It'd be much more helpful if we could follow along but I think this would be a challenge because it'd be very time consuming to make sure everyone was caught up. Maybe one thing would be to make the scope of the assignment much smaller and that way we could have just 2 phases instead of 3 or 4. That way we could make sure everyone was done with the first phase and then we could move onto the second phase. I'm still stuck on the second phase and have been struggling to get the data from the twitter json files I pulled from twitter. For some reason it keeps giving me an error saying that the index needs to be a integer instead of a string when I try to specify 'text' as the key to pull the data.
