Thematic code list from qualitative analysis of open-end questions from the SALG^a

^aOpen-ended responses to four questions on the SALG survey were coded empirically (SL n, 107; RP n, 124), with the percentage of respondents for each code shown in the table. Subcodes are indented from the parent code above them. The color coding uses a 3-color scale related to the percentage of participant responses linked to that code. When comparing responses between RP and SL or across questions, responses that had similar code frequencies are more similarly shaded compared to responses that had more disparate frequencies. The percentages range from 0% (white) to 50.5% (dark orange) . The specific question prompts were as follows, with RP students getting the words “research project” and SL students getting the “service-learning project”: “Please describe the aspects of the [service learning/research project] that you found most enjoyable”; “Please describe the aspects of the [service-learning/research project] that you found least enjoyable”; “Please describe any changes you have made as a result of your participation in the [service-learning/research project]”; “Please comment on what skills you have gained as a result of this class.” Representative quotes for the parent categories are included in Table 6.
