scientific report. Qualitative data analysis entails classifying things, persons, and events and the
properties that characterized them. The final report will be an exhaustive construction and
description of the case being studied from the voices, feelings, actions and meaning of the
participants in the study. It goes beyond mere surface appearances, but not trivial.

meaning of the experiences of the participant.
