            For my research I will need to code and analyze data, as I have selected descriptive case study as my method of research.  BEcause of the qualitative nature of my study, extensive data analysis must occur following data collection.  Data will be analyzed using Nvivo 9, a software program for sorting and organizing interview data for thematic analysis (QSR International, 2010).  The researcher and faculty advisor will use Nvivo to code the data and organize it into themes, then use the themes to answer the research questions and generate the final report.
