Categorize open-ended responses

PRA will provide the verbatim responses to open-ended questions in the Excel institution data file. For an additional cost, institutions may choose to have PRA code these responses into broad categories or themes. For example, responses to this question “Looking back on your experiences as a student, what aspects of your experience at [institution name] have been most positive?” could be coded into categories such as: 0 Nothing; 1 Professors (great instructors, approachable, helpful, etc.); 2 Other students / making friends; 3 Knowledge / experience gained from courses; 4 Small class size; 5 Parking; etc.
