Class notes 3-30

Review the topic proposal (purpose of research questions? Its your job to figure out
how to answer those questions: what are your options?)
What do you think youll do next?
How many interviewees?
They all need to have different backgrounds/experience/expertise and offer a
different perspective on the issue.
Example: My subtopic is visa issues for international students and I want to know
how students failing classes affects their visa status and how that affects their
lives. I want to know if teachers are aware of this and how they respond. I want to
know what the university does to respond to this possibility.
Who could I interview to answer these questions?
Activity:
Here are several questions for a student interviewee. There are lots of different
kinds of questions (who/how/what/how much/etc., hypothetical questions, asking for
examples/stories). However, right now they are disorganized. Why is it important
to organize your questions logically?
