Coursework Brief:
Assume you are a marketing analyst of British Airway (BA), you are going to provide a report about the potential of using twitter data to conduct different analytic activities. Your manager is going to present the findings of this report to the company’s executive board. Your report is going to include the followings:
1. You are going to collect tweets that are associated with the @British_Airways and @VirginAtlantic twitter accounts (covering the period from 1st to 31st December 2019). You are going to (a.) conduct exploratory data analysis with these tweets, and (b.) compare/contrast the tweets of these two airlines;
2. Your manager would like to explore the potential of replacing its customer satisfaction survey by mining twitter data in the future. Evaluate the pros and cons of this suggestion;
3. Your manager would like to develop an in-house model to predict the sentiment of tweets. S/he would like you to conduct a trial on an airline twitter sentiment dataset. You are going to (a.) conduct exploratory data analysis on this dataset, (b.) build two different classification models to predict tweet polarity, and (c.) evaluate the models with suitable performance measures.
Notes:
(i) Your report should communicate your key findings clearly to stakeholders (i.e. your manager who has
good knowledge on various analytics techniques, and the executive board who may not be familiar with the data or some advanced analytical techniques). Briefly indicate what steps you took in your analysis, visualise your results where appropriate, and clearly state your recommendations backed up by your results.
(ii) You could use either R or Python to conduct the analysis. Please submit your programming codes for this assignment. Note that programming codes are excluded from the word limit.

(iii) Please refer to the grade descriptor of this coursework for the detailed marking scheme.
(iv) For part (3.), the dataset has already been divided into training and testing sets and you could download
them from the module’s Blackboard site. Moreover, in this exercise, you will focus only on predicting positive/negative tweets (i.e. all neutral tweets have been removed).
