Additional Objectives

Pre Interview:
First of all I need to find an international student who is willing to meet with me and let me interview them. Before the interview I want to type the list of questions and things that I plan to discuss with my interviewee. I want to make sure that I get them a copy of it a few days prior to the interview to give them an idea of what we will be talking about, and to make them feel more comfortable about coming to the interview. I want to set up a time and a place that will work out well and be a comfortable atmosphere for both me and my interviewee. I also want to make sure that I bring with a recorder, pencil, and paper with to my interview.

During the interview:
I really want my interview to be more like a conversation where me and my interviewee can talk back and forth instead of me asking questions off of my paper and them answering them. While I'm trying to find out information about my interviewees culture and way of life I also want to focus of the individual lifestyle of them and their family because I know that some aspects of a culture can really change from home to home. Throughout the interview I want to really let them know that I care about the answers that they are giving me and to build new questions and conversation based on what they say. I think it will be important to work with the information they give me and not just worry about the exact questions I have written out. Even though our campus claims to be very diverse I want to get their opinion on the subject and why they chose to come to SCSU as well as the struggles and joys that they have had since they got here. During the interview I also want to make sure that I am presentable so that they can take me seriously as an interviewer. I want to dress causally like I would when out with my friends because that is the environment I want my interview to take place in so I get truthful answers not just what they think I want to hear. I want to make sure to be polite and respectful throughout the whole interview and thank them for giving me the interview at the end

Post Interview:
After the interview I will compile my thoughts notes and clips from the recordings into a well thought out and organized paper!
