Final

This course has introduced me to several tools that will be useful when I begin analyzing data for my dissertation and for next quarter's class. I was very excited to learn about Transana since transcribing is a long, daunting task. I also liked the fact that it is cheap in price too. I think it was helpful, for me, to be able to compare a couple different tools that did similar tasks. For example, Transana and ExpressScribe both were introduced as tools for transcribing. Perhaps my favorite session was learning about Audacity and MovieMaker. I know several people that are quite good with these programs, but I have never taken the time to learn how they work. This class gave me a nice introduction on the 2 programs and motivated me to keep learning more.
