The interview process didn\u2019t feel too bad because I knew the person I was interviewing. Another reason I felt more comfortable was the setting I was in. I conducted my interview with my roommate in my own dorm, so it was a more convenient interview process. I feel the wording gets to the point, but some questions could have been expanded a little more. One question in particular was referring to study time, and it just asked if you take breaks while studying. We could\u2019ve expanded and asked how long, where, and how effective it is, but this was our first set of interview questions, so I don\u2019t expect them to be perfect, just things to improve on in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the of the things we did well were tailored to the person being interviewed. Our questions proved to be very focused on what they do specifically. For instance, one of the last two questions asked, “What do you think are the benefits of studying alone?\u201d and the other asked, \u201cWhat do you think are the benefits of studying with other people?” This can help us gauge the person\u2019s opinion towards study environments; if they are an introvert or an extrovert, this allows us to get multiple answers to one question. The experience of transcribing an interview was interesting because you feel like you remember everything that you said and was said to you, but this is far from the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I heard my delivery and had to reword the question because I said it wrong, I realised it wasn\u2019t so easy to do a well-versed interview without messing up. The person I was interviewing was not the most energetic and talkative person, so it made it a little hard to get strong-worded answers out. In my next interview, I\u2019ll make sure to interview someone who gives me a little bit more to work with in terms of the answers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
