The resource includes practical exercises based on a dataset concerning student stress and sleep habits, where students practice highlighting key phrases, developing codes, and synthesizing findings. Additionally, it encourages reflexivity in the analysis process and discusses the limitations of qualitative data in evaluating project success.
