Interview Exercise

This task is a reflective essay based on a semi-structured interview that you will devise, conduct and write-up. So dear writer, what you need to do, is following the assessment guideline, doing a short interview, and completing the reflective report. In addition to the reflective report, it is important that you attach your interview guide and interview notes. My tutor said the notes won’t be marked, but are supporting documents for your reflective report to give a sense of what happened during the interview. Also, please remember that, this task is a methodology assessment, please focusing on method (e.g. what method did you choose during the interview, what strategies did I pick, why is it a good strategy), and being reflective, don’t be simply too descriptive, you need to describe and reflect on the successes and difficulties that you encountered during the interview (e.g. what difficulties did I meet in the interview, do your feel hard to prepare the questions, how the research setting affect the interview, were you able to make your respondent feel at ease, do you feel hard to record interviewee’s responses, were you able to ‘direct’ your interview successfully, did you need to discourage particular conversation, how did you achieve this). It needs some of the critical analysis, (e.g. why a sociologist would be interested in this topic, what does those responses/data mean, did she/he lie to me in some questions, why did she/he lie, what ethical issues arose). And certainly, the report needs some readings to back up the parts, some recommend useful readings have been uploaded, those would be helpful to guide you how to analyze interview and how to make sense of data in interview transcripts. If you have any questions or concerns that I didn’t explain clearly, please let me know ASAP.
