Hi, Lance,
Thank you very much for your videos on MAXQDA. I am your non-traditional graduate student who has been struggling to understand the MAXQDA software analysis program for months now. I come from an oral culture and learns best visually. I just want to say that you videos on MAXQDA has been tremendously helpful. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
I simply cannot wait for you to show me how to actually do the coding and analysis of structured interviews. Please let me know when those will be available online.
