2. CULT3001 survey Quantitative responses - this is an OMV file which will ONLY open when you upload the file to Jamovi (the statistical analysis software).
3. CULT3001 survey Qualitative responses - this is an excel spreadsheet which contains all answers to the open-ended questions from the survey - use this to manually code a selection of responses from questions.

Please use ALL 3 documents. They are essential to the successful completion of the Portfolio assessment.
