B.2 Thematic Analysis Framework Table (no word count applies in this section)

To earn full marks you must have reasonable detail within each box of this table: i.e. we must see how you have covered all themes within your interview(s), and havev analysed the full interview. If your interviewee did not respond to a particular topic, explain this in the table (at the relevant point). Non-answers can be as important as actual answers. The table will expand as you fill it in. Don’t be concerned if it goes across a number of pages (in the past students have usually had 2-10 pages for this table).
