• to briefly discuss the functions of codes, coding, and analytic memo writing during the qualitative data collection and analytic processes

• to profile a selected yet diverse repertoire of coding methods generally applied in qualitative data analysis, and

• to provide readers sources, descriptions. examples, recommended applications, and exercises for coding and further analyzing qualitative data.
