There are multiple things that I believe went well throughout the interview. I believe the
interviewee had a comfortable atmosphere with me here which allowed a nice flow of
conversation and allowed the interviewee not to be needed to be prompted often. I believe I have
done well with paraphrasing and encouraging quite often throughout the interview. I believe that
I mainly utilized open ended questions which prompted further conversation which was of high-
quality content. I also did not have to ask a significant amount of questions to continue the
conversation. I also believe that when I did receive the chance to I did show empathy or reflected
on emotions, however this content wasn’t one with high emotions. I believe that my reflections
on emotions could be stronger, but I did hit them when they did appear. I believe I did have a
strong structure with a hard focus on courses for this interview we had an opening summary and
an end summary (at the end of the video) however the middle summary was weak and could be
worked on. I think overall, I do encourage the student to continue the conversation quite a bit
which leads to a strong interview where I do not need to be asking a significant amount of
questions.
There are multiple areas in which I want to improve. I have a struggle in general with
creating complete sentences before stating them which leads to me stuttering or having to restart
mid-sentence. I also tend to speak with my hands and if I am not speaking with my hands I am
moving my core from side to side slightly. These are both items I want to work on significantly
as to not distract my students. I also want to work on the quality of paraphrasing. As you can see,
I do have the contents in mind when I am paraphrasing but If I were to take a few seconds more I
could easily paraphrase statements into a stronger and better grammatic sentence. I do want to
also focus on inputting summaries throughout to create a more solid structure. I do generally
have a beginning and an end, but the middle is always a harder one to get in for me.
