Interviewing
This week, after reading the Preskill chapter, I found it to be very helpful to see the difference between AI and non-AI questions. THe AI questions definitely seemed more personal and pushed the interviewee to a positive answer. I found the case studies to be very helpful in trying to help me understand specifically how I should formulate a interview guide for our group interviews this week.
With developing this interview guide, I struggled at the beginning to make sure my questions weren’t too lengthy, and they did get way too long! I had wrote the questions a couple days ago but apparently didn’t save them and a couple hours before I was supposed to meet Jillian, I had to rewrite the questions and try to remember what they were about. But it ended up I liked rewriting the questions again because I wasn’t persuaded by the questions in the book the second time around. The questions turned out better! I enjoyed discussing with Jillian how to reformulate the questions so that they made sense and were easier to understand and appreciated the fact that evaluators really have to be particular when coming up with effective AI positive questions.
And now because its Friday tomorrow, I want to get up and dance to this song that my students enjoy playing in the artroom!
