Discuaion 8-1

For this Discussion, you will reflect on your interview experience from last week. Perhaps you have noticed how well (or how poorly) you paid attention; or that something the interviewee said astonished you; or how quickly (or slowly) the time went by.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources related to qualitative interviewing.
• Consider the phone interview you conducted in Week 7.
  • Listen to your recording 2–3 times.
  • Review the notes you took during and after the interview.
  • Consider how this experience is different or similar to a conventional conversation.

By Day 3

Post your reflection and analysis on what you learned about interviewing. Include in your reflection and analysis:

• At least two things you would do differently and why
• Something new and surprising that you learned
• A reflection about the value of interviewing as a data collection tool
