It can be either a subject from your study or even a friend, co-worker or family member. The main idea is the help get you familiar with leading an interview and using your protocol. Then you will draft a short reflection of how the experience went and what you learned, based on the prompt below. </span></p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; margin: 0px 0px 1.41575em; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fdfdfd;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">Prompt</span>:</span> Draft a short 1 - 2 paragraph memo based on your interview. This memo can be more about your personal experience conducting the interview - in which you will discuss the experience of conducting the interview if you were nervous or flustered, what went well, what you thought could be improved, and how well your interview protocol worked or did not work, and what you could do to improve the protocol. Alternatively, in the memo, you could focus on the project itself - highlighting interesting quotes or anecdotes that you learned in the interview, insights that you have gained for your overall project, and any interesting topics that came up that surprised you or expanded your thinking or understanding of this topic. If you like, you could also do a mixture of both personal experience and a focus on your project in the memo. The main purpose of this assignment is to get you into the habit of drafting memos that will be useful to you later in your own research process. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;"></span></span></p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; margin: 0px 0px 1.41575em; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fdfdfd;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">Evaluate the interview protocol you created by answering these questions:</span> </span></span></p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; margin: 0px 0px 1.41575em; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fdfdfd;"></p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; margin: 0px 0px 1.41575em; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fdfdfd;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;">Content</span>: Did you write at least a 1 paragraph memo based on the interview that you conducted and what you learned from the experience - either as a personal experience or for the project?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; margin: 0px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; border-top: 0px; border-right: none; border-bottom: none; border-left: 0px; border-image: initial; padding: 0px; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fdfdfd;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; border: 0px; padding: 0px;">Clarity</span>: Was the writing presented in a way that was clear, rational, and engaging?</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div>
