The MRKT 600 Week 4 method, step by step
Set up the data before the write-up
Do the calculations first and check them. Interpretation built on a wrong figure loses more points than a missing paragraph.
Show the method
Name the method and the reason it fits. One or two sentences are enough, but they must be there.
Report the results plainly
Give the key figures in a labeled table and mention each in the text.
Interpret in the context of the question
Explain what the results mean for the decision or question in MRKT 600, in plain terms. The interpretation is where the analysis points are earned.
Name the limits
Name the assumptions and limits. A result with its limits stated reads as professional.
Submit the files the guide asks for
Check which files Canvas expects (spreadsheet, output, written document) and that each is complete and labeled (2 interviews of at least 5 minutes each, transcribed verbatim).
Present each transcript with codes in the margin or in brackets, followed by a short list of themes with example quotations. Remove names and identifying details.

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Participant 1: I canceled because I'd finished the show I signed up for, [code: content-driven subscription] and honestly I knew I could come back in a month when the new season dropped. [code: easy resubscription] Theme emerging across both interviews: subscriptions are treated as temporary access to specific shows rather than ongoing memberships.
