General advice + reminders

Remember to remove the files that are not required, such as the literature, and update the files that are absolutely necessary to make this repository reproducible.

Regarding ReadMe

This repo provides students with a foundation for their own projects associated with Telling Stories with Data

The file structure is clear, but remember to update the overview. Maybe add a singular line about what the paper aims to do.

LLM Usage

The LLM usage is well detailed and the captions really explain what the LLM is solving for without too much cognitive load. Consider adding LLM as a text file instead.

Consider placing these commands elsewhere? I'm not sure the readme is the best place for them.

Regarding the Paper

Which population group experiences the most frequent transitions between shelters in 2018 and 2023? An analysis on Toronto’s Shelter System Flow"

I like the concept of the paper posed as a rhetorical question! It makes the reader stop and ponder for a second. Consider moving the second sentence to the subtitle. Maybe it could be reworded into something along the tunes of "Do certain demographics face more shelter displacement than others? An analysis of Toronto's homeless shelter systems.

As Toronto faces an extreme homelessness crisis, it is important to understand how much homelessness has increased in the city in 2023 compared to 2018

Using Precis may be a helpful exercise here. The word homelessness is repeated twice, consider the following: As Toronto faces a debilitating homelessness crisis, it is worth examining the direness of the situation as it stands today compared to 5 years ago.

where between

Omit where in the introduction, second line

city council

Capitalise.

analyze the data separated into eight groups

I love the description of variables of interest in the introduction, and the description of labels.

2018 and 2023

I'm curious about the motivation being picking two years instead of comparing how trends change over the years. Any specific reasons?Consider expanding on this.

2.2 Moved to housing

The definitions here are useful! insightful to have included them.

3.2 Comparisons in between

Omit the word in

Move the graphs up and reduce the space between the text and graphs. Also alter ggplot attributes so the labels are displayed without overlap. Try axis test to rotate the labels.

Homeless

Consider appending the word persons to the barchart label.

3.2 Comparisons between

Perhaps would be useful somewhere to cross reference other sources to determine plausible reasons for these trends, or maybe mention some hypotheses. Left wondering "And then what? Why?"

rising house prices

This is what I was looking for! Critically developing on this would add great worth to the work.

limitations on the project

Discussion

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this section. Good work!

More individuals actively homeless

This one sentence is the central thesis to your paper, and definitely packs a punch. Consider using it sparingly, and rewording instead of repeating it, since it loses a little magic that way.

Since the assignment seems to be still under works, here is some comments that may be useful what's given

Pdf

• Remove the "subtitle if needed line" it's rendered in your pdf
• Remember to finish the abstract, it is "First sentence,..." and so on right now
• I think your fig tags in the writing sections are not rendering, they have a ? in it
• Add a Link to your repo on the bottom of the first page where it says "LINK"
