Skill Lab: Applied Qualitative Data Analysis

1 unit

This course allows students to continue to develop the qualitative data analysis skills introduced in Part 1 of this skill lab series. Students will bring their own qualitative data (e.g., interview transcripts) to analyze using NVivo. During class, the instructor will review all steps of the analysis process (e.g., codebook development, first-round coding, second-round coding, matrix analyses) and then work with students individually to create analysis plans and agree upon final assignment formats. Students will collaborate with one another to act as independent auditors of each other's analysis to gain feedback on their coding from peers. Students will leave having advanced the analysis of their data with a detailed plan for continued analysis. The instructor will be available after the completion of the class to support students' publication efforts
