Title: Mute your mic if you need to cry! Exploring qualitative approaches to data analysis through a study of undergraduates' emergency remote learning experiences. 

Abstract: Mathematics Discipline-Based Education Research (Math-DBER) is an interdisciplinary research area that utilizes the fields of Mathematics, Data Science, and Education to investigate the teaching and learning of mathematics. In this interactive talk, we will explore approaches to qualitative data analysis through a study of undergraduates' emergency remote learning experiences. We will employ a by-hand technique called qualitative coding (an education researcher's approach) to a data set and then compare our results to a text analysis (data scientist's approach).
