After participating in an interview, each student should submit a 2-4 page single spaced reflection memo which considers the following questions (at least two paragraphs on each prompt):

1. Tell me about your interviewee as descriptively as possible. How did you gain access? What was the rapport like in the interview? How would you describe them and the context of the interview (their appearance, personality, details about the setting)?
2. What did you learn from the interviewee? What were your findings?
3. What did you anticipate? What surprised you? What confirmed what you already knew?
4. What did you learn about the process of interviewing?
5. Were there any ethical issues that arose or power dynamics you observed? How did your identity impact the experience of conducting research? How did you manage these and/or how do you wish you managed these?
6. What went well in the interview? What could've gone better?
7. What questions about your topic remain after the interview? What questions do you wish you had asked? What questions would you change in your interview protocol or what questions didn't yield much?
8. If you had to answer your group’s research question today, based on just this interview, what would the answer be?

Papers will be graded on the following criteria:

A - Excellent work. Student shows near perfect understanding of the course materials. Assignments turned in on time and shows evidence of analytical rigor, originality, and superior achievement. Content is thoughtful and thorough.

B - Good work. Student shows a strong grasp of the course materials and turns assignment in on time. Work has some analytical rigor, but there are some errors. Good work, but not the most original, thought-provoking, or thorough.

C - Average work. Serious errors or misunderstanding of the course materials and limited analysis.

D - Poor work. The student appears to have made little effort and produces below average work. Very serious errors or misunderstanding of the course materials.

F - Unacceptable or no work. The student either did not turn in work or what was turned in showed no effort to keep up with the course materials.
