Coding for analytical purposes can also streamline

When students are writing essays they often come with limited or minimal organizational skills. Some of the predictive analytical software has the ability to find common strands and keywords that are appropriate to a topic. Though the words are different, they have similar menaings. I sometimes I have students use different colored highlighters to identify keywords or concepts in their writing that are similar to one another. This allows me to determine their critical thinking skills and how they relate to various bits and pieces of their writing. It helps the student realize if they have wondered off course since outlining has become a lost art.
