Understanding qualitative analysis begins by understanding the coding process. While qualitative analysis software can assist with the analysis, researchers must still use logic and reasoning to create the codes from the raw data. In this assignment, you will analyze interview and focus group transcripts by inductively coding the data and developing themes. This will mimic the process and feeling of coding a large study though on a much smaller scale.
