The author sets out an easy-to-use model for coding data in order to break it down into parts, and then to reassemble it to create a meaningful picture of the phenomenon under study. Full of useful advice, the book guides the reader through the last difficult integrating phase of qualitative analysis including diagramming, memoing, thinking aloud, and using one's feelings, and how to incorporate the use of software where appropriate.
Ideal for third year undergraduate students, master students, postgraduates and anybody beginning a research project, the book includes examples covering a wide range of subjects - making the book useful for students across the social science disciplines.

The book may be too academical for our students. We would like a book with specific assignments for students to practice with.
This book covers the basic functions that is required to analyze data. Most just focus on the philosophical or process requirements, this text however goes to the technical requirements of what is done with data once you have it. How to break down, analyze and present data into meaningful components.
A much needed text in action research, well-written, approachable and concise. It deals deals with the topic thoroughly and in a very engaging manner with examples and exercises presented throughout.

We read some passages with the students but it was too hard for them (2nd year undergrad).
A very useful text for third year dissertation students undertaking qualitative based studies.

This book doen't really provide anything new and special compared to other qualitative book. However, it is a pretty standard one.
Although this book covers many of the relevant areas for qualitative data analysis and is very informative, there could be a few more practical examples for students in order to better illustrate the techniques under consideration.
Decided that the way it approached qualitative research did not match what I wanted to teach.
