With your group - pose a new question about teacher comments.  What categories + codes would you use to answer this question?  What patterns do you see in our data set with respect to your new question?

Codes are specific names for features, actions, interactions, "things" => anything you notice in your data. 

Categories are groups of related codes.

Patterns are statements about relationships among the different features you are analyzing

Question: How do teacher comments help or hinder the students corrections?

What comments would you use to answer this question? We used Data Set 4 # 1

     - ML1-help
     - ML5-help
     - ML8 - help

What codes would you use to answer this question?
     - #1 by making these comments, the teacher gives positive feedback as well as something they can work on. 
     - #5 the teacher is challenging the students to think of a deeper meaning to their topic.
     - # 8 gives students suggestions to make a stronger argument. 

What patterns do you see in our data set with respect to your new question? 
     - I feel that the comments for Data Set 4 #1 is a good example of the question we stated.
