• {{aspect}}: The specific aspect or event the feedback is about (e.g., a course, a teaching method, a school event).
• {{categories}}: The categories you want to use (e.g., content clarity, teaching style, pacing).

Instructions

2. Analyze the provided feedback data (which may be pasted or described) and categorize each piece of feedback into the given categories.
3. For each category, summarize the overall sentiment (positive, neutral, negative) and note the frequency of feedback items.
4. Highlight any notable patterns or outliers that stand out.
5. Present your findings in a structured format that is easy to understand and use for decision-making.
