Response #2
I thought this past weeks discussion were interesting regarding interviews. I did not know there were so many pitfalls and types of probing until we covered them in class. I think that some interview questions have many different pitfalls that are hard to categorize into one area. When I have done interviews in the past I think the biggest pitfall that I have is asking double-barreled inquisitions. After we went over them in class I thought back to interviews I have done and realized that I may have asked a couple questions within one question and not received the response I was looking for. Also going over the types of pitfalls and probing questions has helped me with one of my English classes because we are currently interviewing a person that has contributed to the Bowling Green community. Going over these in class will definitely help in the near future.
