Final...

From this course, I found the introduction of program ExpressScribe most useful for me. Thanks to the characteristics such as free, convenient and match to windows offices, ExpressScribe makes the best assistant for me. To meet the requirement of Dr. Lather’s class, I took it into practice many times.
I guess I take advantage from it most because the function of speed control in the panel. Therefore, I don’t have to rewind the file many times to clarify some words I missed.

Overall, I am so satisfied with this class. The instructor is nice and friendly (that’s very TRUE!). The materials are well-organized, and offer many additional resources for me to explore. As a very first beginner as a qualitative research learner, I don’t have much to share but I do have a gainful support network from this class.

Thank you so much, Lanrie^^

Some thoughts about CAQDAS

It kind of surprises me! Technology makes qualitative research so scientific in a degree. After the introduction of this article, I am tempted to check it up, but somehow it makes me hesitate after the second thought. In a sense, the data analysis in qualitative research is labor work but unexpected surprises may exist from time to time. For this reason, I am curious about which way the assistance of CAQDAS will lead researchers to? Since I have no idea about the answer, I had better have some experience related to CAQDAS first.
