1. Choose a construct or process, such as motivation, empowerment, isolation, goal-setting, problem-solving, and so forth, using your Wk 5 TV observation and your interview data set from Wk 6 as possible sources of context.

   • A description of the sampling method you used to choose a few documents to review
   • A description of the data analysis approach you used
