Some ideas for suitable goals beyond what I have already have....

-Give an opportunity for the interviewee to learn a little bit about my culture also
-Make sure my recording equipment is functioning properly so the interview does not have to wait through technical difficulties
-Keep a conversation going so there are not awkward pauses
-Be enthusiastic about giving the interview and learning about another culture instead of just going through the motions because it is a class assignment
-Help the interviewee expand on a topic by asking more questions even if they are not questions I prepared

  1. The first additional objective should move down: invite questions only at the end. Please look at Nathan's objectives for a clear list, Maria's for thoughtful language, and Mohammed's and Maddy's for post-production. Vishal's blog also warrants reading.

  4. I think that being enthusiastic is going to help keeping the interviewee focused during the whole time and not thinking you are bored.

  5. These are great, and I agree with our professor that letting them know about you should not be at the beginning. Overall they are very good.

  6. I like the second to the last one. You hope to actually learn rather than to get the assignment done. Way to go!
