From the 46 participants, we analyzed three reflective journals each for a total of 138student data sets. Student data consisted of course reflective journals due in weeks 10, 13, and 16of the fall 2017 semester. The journals were submitted through the course learning managementsystem and downloaded for analysis after the course commenced in December 2017.Data Analysis We used a grounded theory thematic process to interpret the narrative data (Charmaz,2009). This type of analysis is contingent on the types of coding skills and categories thatsurface from the narratives of
