Analysis Of A Classroom Interview

During the interview I asked a variety of questions just to get a better understanding of her methods of counseling and how they help her during her therapy sessions. The first question I asked was “ how do you build rapport with

I enjoyed doing the interview, mainly because I love to learn about people. It felt a little strange to interview a friend of my daughter, especially knowing I could not share anything with my daughter due to confidentiality. Even though I have a house full of teenagers on most days and we talk I was still unsure how this interview would workout. I felt the interview went great and we were both relaxed and open with one

In between turns, we were eating food, drinking beverages, and talking stories to each other about how we each got involved. [Clearly my attention was not in the game]. Though I got a chance to talk to others, I wanted to interview the host, Josh. I told him about my assignment, showed him the permission letter and he agreed to do the interview.

My worst fear during the interviews were that I would say something that was insensitive or that the clients would be offended off something that I would say. However, the opposite of my expectations happened, I really had a great time interacting with the different clients. I think the greatest reward out of talking to the clients was that my anxiety and nervousness towards the possibility of messing up, when in fact the opposite happened. The greatest reward out of this was that was that the clients seemed very happy to tell some of their stories to our group. Some stories that they were telling us took them into a sense of nostalgia when talking about some of their early memories. It was also very rewarding to know that the clients thoroughly enjoyed being there and knew that they were going to help us become better occupational therapists.

I began asking her about her experience in mentoring the contestants throughout the contest. Her answer was motherly. She expressed that she felt good helping them out, encouraging them to come out of their shell and to really push them towards their dreams. She mentioned her past and how she wished that someone did that for her, then explaining how Acuvue were really sweet to her and how they are the best contacts in the world.

Working in a public school setting provides a rich profusion of opportunities to interact with both children and adults claiming a multitude of different cultural and ethnic identities. As diverse populations continue to grow in the U.S., it becomes increasingly necessary for professionals and service workers of all types to acquire cultural competency. Although Suh (2004) identifies multiple variations of the exact definition, and the term as a whole contains many different components, its meaning and adherence have an undeniably universal effect and leads to harmonious and synergistic relationships between people of all cultural backgrounds. In an interview with John (named has been changed for confidentiality) on June 3, 2016, the

I learned a lot from both interviews because Sunday Salter is a female counselor at a community college and she is residing in California while my other interviewee, Dr. Bruce Mathews, is a male that is a dean at a four- year institution in Hawai’i. I noticed differences between the institution of the work occurring within their functional areas. For instance, Sunday Salter mentioned that her institution is considers a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HIS). However, Dr. Mathews at first was not so sure of the definition of HIS until I explained it to him. I quickly noticed that if he did not know the definition that it would be very likely that their institution probably is an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution

Lastly, I interviewed another fellow classmate, PO. Our exchange seemed to be more open because of my

I appreciated the fact that he identified specific details about himself that he incorporates within his field. The reason why I wanted to speak to Mr. Sanchez was because of his experience in the engineering field and I want to possibly become a Biomedical Engineer. Additional questions I asked him were skills that he would require from a person that is applying for a Mechanical Engineering job. He requires a future Mechanical Engineer to be a team worker, not be content with stagnation, and also have a positive personality. The meeting took place outside of a Hungry Howies restaurant; we decided to sit down in the outside-designated seating area in the Killeran Shopping Center Plaza. The meeting actually went great because I expected for me to not learn much about myself. I first expected to just write down information about a person, but in all actuality I had a lot of fun interviewing Mr. Pablito. The moment he told me that he first wanted to become a teacher but found his love for mathematics and engineering I knew that this interview was designed to teach

Getting to know Mark Williams Jacob at first was very difficult. He was very shy and was not willing to open up at the beginning of the interview. He was not interested in giving out information on his personal life. But over time he started to develop a trust with me. The more I did not force him to answer the questions I presented to him he wanted to answer them. I let him wander a bit and listened to what he had to say. He is a very shy but at the same time very open and outgoing person. I would like to learn more about him as time goes

Primary, some parts of the case preparation chart was confusing at first, such as putting values on certain criteria in order to choose the best possible answer. However, it did help me gather my thoughts and formulate potential solutions for the case study. Conversely, I was stuck when having to put myself into the instructor’s point of view in order to correctly access the issue. Correspondingly, my initial solution to the problem was for the instructor to look back at previous works of the students to in order to compare writing style and credibility of the doubled assignment and both of the student’s past work. However after discussing it with my group I realized my solution wasn’t an effective method as it essentially focused on judging the two students con their past. Ultimately, my final answer was to give them both zeros on the assignment which did surprise me considering originally I thought that giving them both zeros was unfair.

The interviewer did very well with reflective listing and using open ended questions. Reflective listening lets the interviewee know that you are listening to what they are saying. Her use of open ended questions kept the conversation flowing. Open ended questions also allow the interviewer to gain more insight into the interviewee’s thought processes. The content of the interview was very good for the interviewer to make the proper referrals.

You picked the right interview styles for each category. Unstructured interviews seem easier for both the interviewer and the interviewee. The idea of having an interview more like a conversation between two peers sounds relaxing and enjoyable. Panel interviews are probably the most difficult

The interview report allowed for the opportunity to talk with people who are closely related to my topic. For

I learned a little bit more about myself, mostly how horrified I was to hear some of what Pumpkin has to say about himself at times, although most of that was from the conversation we had about our lives after the interview, and how lucky I am to be, and be perceived as, straight even if I am asexual. I was also pretty happy to hear about RS’s experiences growing up and to have her try to explain the feeling when she sees or hears people talk negatively about people who are not heterosexual. It really cemented my views that, like Pumpkin said, sexual orientation is almost just a fact about someone. It shouldn’t change someones opinion on someone, as the person is still them, you just know more about them after you find out or are told. I
