For the closed-ended rating items in the interview, you tally the results by using the rating marks you made on the protocol copy. You plan to transcribe the responses to the open-ended questions in a standard transcription format. Once each transcript is ready, you (or the other interviewer) will review it to check for accuracy and correct any ambiguities.
Although you could begin analyzing the interview transcripts for common themes (e.g., characteristics of more successful internships), you decide you will begin by using the interview data to develop a profile of each student. You see advantages to keeping all information from a given student together in one narrative as an initial step before attempting to identify important themes in the internship experience and its relationship to college goals.
