For your Research Project, you will conduct an interview with an individual whose skills, knowledge, or experience seem pertinent to the topic of your Research Project Essay. Obviously, it may be hard to find someone with knowledge on the “banana”. Be creative. You could interview a friend and use questions that you would be able to include one or more of the answers into your paper. The purpose of the interview is to show me you understand how to conduct an interview and how to include it in your paper. Please email me with any questions.
After you have conducted your interview and analyzed the responses, submit the following information by the due date:
name of the person interviewed
date of the interview
a brief explanation of why the interviewee seemed like an appropriate source for your research project topic (i.e., what qualifications, knowledge, or experience does he or she have regarding your topic)
a transcript of the interview, which must include at least 5 questions asked during the interview along with the interviewee’s responses–
Information about conducting and reporting field research, including interviews, can be found in your text (pp. 508-514)
