Syllabus changes, process, Core questions

 We saw in our video example with Mohammed that it makes sense to let the interviewee talk and re-direct only when things become too redundant or repetitive.

Next steps:
Next Thursday, Oct 7, we'll finish practice rounds interviewing each other. After that, you are free to start interviewing "for real". October 14 is fall break and you may use the time for the three interviews and reports. On October 21 and 28 there will be conferences with me in Lawrence Hall 116. Beginning at 5PM and ending at 8:30 each day. Please reserve your spot on the waiting list here:



The Core questions we co-edited in class are:

a- Could you tell me a little bit about yourself and your home?
b-How is the education in your home country compared to the United States?
c-Any difference in how a man and a woman may contact each other?
  Anything that is not considered "proper"?
d-What are weddings like? (Traditions of weddings)
e -What are some religious or cultural customs in your country?
f -Do you have different rules of eye contact and body language in 
   your country?
g -What do you have for your diet (breakfast, lunch, dinner)?
h - ask me a question
