Discover the power of paraphrasing, and finally, learn how to synthesize (not just summarize) literature that you review. Jessica will both model and provide opportunities to practice these three scholarly writing skills.

Analyzing qualitative data is essential for (1) refining future data collection to ensure you are gathering data aligned with your research questions, and (2) writing up your findings. This session will help you turn an overwhelming process into a focused process. We will help you understand what you are supposed to do, and we will guide you through the process of how to complete the various cycles of coding and identifying themes. We will also help you manage your mindset so that you can overcome limiting beliefs and gain confidence.
