“Living Sources: Interviews and Surveys”

In this article I learned how to be a good interviewer and how to manage a good survey.
1) First of all, it is really important that you will interview person whose situation relates to your issue. You have to have specific questions for conducting a good interview and you have to be well prepared. The questions should be put in the way that the person you are interviewing could reply in sentences, not only "yes or no".

2) In the survey, you have to organize it well, so you are able to achieve goals you want to receive from your survey. You also have to think carefully who are you making to do the survey.

3) I also learned that it is possible to have "an email interview". In this method you are possible to get an interview with the people all around the world pretty easily. Only thing is that you have to find some "field expert's" name and try to look up for his email address. Then you are able to send him an email and probably get as good answer as you were having live interview.

In my project, I will conduct couple interviews here in ISU with few international students who come from Europe, Asia & Australia. I think I will also send couple emails to my friends who are also international students. I think I could get lot of data from my interviews and this part of project should be more fun.
