Stage 4 in the information interview is structuring the interview.
In this Application, you'll (1) critique questions, and (2) identify types of questions.
Critiquing Questions
Identify problems (language; relevance; information level; complexity; and social, psychological and situational accessibility) with each of the questions below. Rephrase each question to make it appropriate and more effective. (Note: You may need to modify the focus and/or content of the questions in order to rephrase them.)
Classify each of the following questions in three ways: highly or moderately open/closed, primary/secondary, neutral/leading/loaded. Also, indicate if the question is bipolar, multiple, tag, or a particular kind of secondary question.
Designing an effective Interview Guide is essential to conducting a productive interview. Phrase questions with your purpose, topic, and interviewee in mind. Pay careful attention to question wording so you avoid problems such as complexity, insensitivity, lack of clarity, and irrelevance. Use open-ended questions to encourage interviewees to talk and ask probing or secondary questions to provide greater depth in interviewees' responses.
