Goals

After completing this workshop, you will be able to prepare and import documents to be analyzed in MAXQDA, and they will be familiar with the basic functions necessary for analyzing qualitative data, from creating and managing a code system to coding documents to retrieving coded segments.

You will learn to use memos to hold and organise ideas and thoughts.
