Hand Coding

Now develop a 3-page paper describing considerations for choosing Maxqda and NVivo. Include your responses to the following:
• Hands-on: Summarize your experience with coding using word. Identify what worked well, where you struggled, and how the process of coding evolved.
• Research: Summarize your research on your two choices by comparing and contrasting features. Describe why you chose these two versus the others and, given my experience in this class, I consider using the NVivo software. Also, explain why NVivo would work best with this study (my study is Why African American male Juvenile’s Re-offend in Georgia).
The data collected will be kept in the NVivo system for organizing, and analyzing the research on youth recidivism.
