Lecture 30: Interview Analysis

Today's lecture is going to be in two parts. Those of you who have been following along on Twitter, would have seen that we'll have fellow student, Ian McNeill tall us about some software development he's made using what he's learnt in #ALES204. Exciting!

 This is what Ian says about his presentation:


LMS stands for "Learning Management System" and is used in one form or another by practically every company today.  LMS software has a large variety of different purposes, but they all follow the same structural format (Information presentation followed by Testing and online).  Over the last year and a half I have been making my own LMS software and you will notice much of what we learned in ALES 204 has been incorporated into the presentations!

For the second half of the class (if time permits), we'll practise analysing an interview. You will have the opportunity to find an interview related to your interest or field, and then you can analyse it using a google doc which can be found here.

Note: PLEASE make sure you *save a copy* of the google doc rather than simply writing in it! more like a workshop where you'll have most of the class to practise what we've been covering all week.

    The purpose of this interview was to promote Carl Zimmer’s new book, “Brain Cuttings,” and get his perspective on how science can continue to be interesting and relevant in a modern, technologically advanced world. In terms of content, the discussion focused on Zimmer’s writing and research, especially in the field of parasitology. While the interviewer appeared nervous and uncertain, it is clear that Zimmer is an experienced interviewee. His answers, tone, inflection, and speaking were adequate to get the point across, but his excitement levels waned and made the interview less than stimulating to listen to.

  5. This interview was conducted with a registered dietitian on global news. The topic was about the importance of calcium in children and preventing osteoporosis later in life. It was a short interview that gave various examples of calcium sources, lactose intolerance and fortified calcium products. The interview was very effective because the question asked were concise and the interviewee answered directly. The questions were included some common misconceptions that individuals could relate too.

  6. The purpose of this interview is very clear, it is stated at the beginning of the interview and tells its objective. The interview is effective because he listens to what Carl has to say, adds to it, and asks another question accordingly. Based on this fact we can assume that he had an outline of questions to ask but did not specifically stick to them. The interviewer is very effective and is knowledgeable on the topic and has obviously done his research on the subject.

    The interview was conducted in an informal environment, using open straight forward questions to stimulate discussion. The format of the interview was a conversational forum where the interviewer would respond to the answers and come up with new questions related to the response.

    A question that we would reword would be:What does aging well mean to you? What do you think can help increase a person’s potential to being healthy as they age?

  10. The interview was about how to deal with the amount of candy available to children on Halloween. The interview contained tips on how to limit the amount of candy children eat that night and in the days following it. The interview was very effective and was much like a conversation while remaining very focused on the topic on hand.

  11. Sydney and Carlyn did the analysis of a very short interview with Serena Williams:

    The purpose of this interview was to show other athletes, similar to Serena, how to prepare for a long activity such as tennis. Serena says she gets muscle cramps often, and Gatorade helps her with her carbohydrate intake and help prevent muscle cramps. This interview in a way was promoting Gatorade for athletes!

  12. The purpose of this interview was to learn more about Temple Grandin’s work with animals and about her new book. Her opinions about current animal welfare issues were also discussed.
    She is autistic, but was a good speaker. She spoke loud enough, and had a clear tone.She spoke pretty quickly, but overall was clearly understood.

  13. I analyzed a short interview with a conservator: http://www.examiner.com/collecting-in-national/conservation-vs-restoration-a-conversation-with-sarah-scaturro

    The interviewer uses a combination of open- and closed-ended questions (ie. “Tell me about yourself” vs. “what is the difference between conservation and restoration”). The tone of this interview is relatively informal, most likely because this publication is meant for wide, varied audience. The writer for this interview also just transcribed the conversation, rather than re-writing it to give the reader more information. I would have re-phrased the interviewer’s first question “Tell me about yourself, your position with the Smithsonian, and your consulting business” to be slightly more formal, or more aware of the background information of my interview subject. The first question could be “Your positions at both the Smithsonian and within your own consulting business are quite varied. What are the different challenges and rewards that come with each?” The first question also seems extremely disjointed from the rest of the article, while the last four questions appear to flow together.

    It was pretty informal, and interview was pretty light hearted.

    Pretty typical hockey related questions. Wouldn't have changed them.

  15. The interview we chose consisted of a media reporter interviewing a dietitian. She covered important diet facts about preparing for a marathon or other high-intensity activity. The information was passed in a generally effective manner. The dietitian seemed very knowledgeable about the subject. She spoke at a good pace and in terms that were understandable for everyone. She could have spoke louder, but she was still clear. The interview turned out to be a success, and the desired information was obtainable from it.

    Here is our summary of the interview we read:

    This interview was very effective for the average pet owner. However, it was not very professional or formal because it was a mock interview done by ‘cats’. The information that was prevented, regardless of how informal, was true and applicable. It was an effective interview because it presented important information in a way that was fun and informative for the average person.

  18. The purpose of the interview was to provide an explanation of why the United States product disease rate is increasing. In addition, the interviewee talks about discarded food by all levels of the food industry. She discusses peoples tendency to cook quick pre-prepared meals instead of healthy meals. The interview was well done and Christa Essig communicated effectively.

    The interviewer had a very good understanding of the research and he clearly did his homework on Dr. Denis Burdakov’s research. All of his questions were oriented in the same direction, seeking the information needed to formulate a valuable conclusion. The focus of the interview and Dr. Denis Burdakov’s research was on the effects of glucose and amino acids on cells in the brain which control wakefulness and food seeking behaviour. The purpose his research is to determine how the brain can affect the diet. Overall the interviewer did a good job at interviewing him on the topic. He was able to stay on topic throughout the interview and was able to make Dr. Denis Burdakov comfortable whilst in the interview. However, the interview was structured very formally and did not encapsulate any humour or “fun”, making the interview a little dry to read. Overall, we would say this interview was very effective for the scientific community.

    The purpose is to discuss issues concerning autism and ABA. The interview contains information on Temple Grandin (Scientist) and her struggles/thoughts about autism. The interview was very effective because the tone was serious and showed just how much someone can do who was originally diagnosed as being brain damaged. The questions were all open ended. Great interview.

    the purpose, content and effectiveness of the interview.
    This interviewer was able to get some good nutritional advice from the Robert Young. This interview was effective because the interviewer had carefully prepared questions. He was able to describe his question so that Robert young would be able to provide the most relevant answers for the audience. It is nice that he targeted more what to eat than the science behind it but I am tired of the science.

    The interview I chose was with a dietitian named Vanessa Richard. She was talking about sleep deprivation, and tips students could use to increase their studying effectiveness. She focused on not relying on caffeine and energy drinks, but instead thinking about eating well balanced meals.
    I think the content was very relevant considering that finals are coming up. The effectiveness of the interview was good, as she made it pretty easy to understand. I think one thing I would say about this interview was that it was a bit too common sense, and so almost seemed redundant.
    The interviewer asked direct questions that brought about interesting topics. Overall, I would say it was a good interview.

  29. The interview is with Shawn Anchor, a positive psychologist from Harvard and Author of The Happiness Advantage. The interview starts with an explanation of what positive psychology is, why it is different than self-help and how it is scientifically studied. From there the questions shift to the efficacy of positive psychology and a couple of examples. The final questions are more geared to how businesses can take advantage of positive psychology to make their employees happier and more productive.

    The interview is effective but not them most inspiring of interview/presentations I've seen of Shawn. His TED talks presentation was really good.

    interview: http://courtingthehorse.com/?p=1184
    The interview is about the science of, and profession of equine osteopathy, as well as the interviewee’s experiences within the profession. The interviewer uses a combination of open- and closed-ended questions such as (“Tell me about equine osteopathy” and “what kind of schooling is required for osteopathy?”). Most of the questions are closed-ended, and the interviewer directs her questioning based solely on the response of the interviewee. From the first question to the last, the interviewer asks questions based on the answer Sam gave to the previous question. As a result, the tone of the interview is relatively informal, most likely because this publication is meant for a wide, varied audience from horse owners to scientists. The style of interview works particularly well in this scenario because the interviewer asks questions that most horse owners would ask in the same situation, thus providing valuable information to the majority of the audience. At the same time, the interviewee validates her answers with direct science, thus attracting the scientific community to the interview. The interview is only available through audio-blog, and is not transcribed. It may have been more beneficial to the audience and the dissemination of information if the interview had been available in print. This may also have aided in clarification of my points as well. I would have re-vamped the interviewer’s style, although the informality of the interview is helpful in some ways, I think the interviewer should have been more formal, and more aware of the background information of the interview subject. She seemed to spend the first part of the interview in confusion based on the complexity of osteopathy. Despite the interviewee’s clear explanations, the interviewer’s questions for clarity took away from the interview, and possibly discouraged many scientific viewers. Overall, the interview flowed from topic to topic, and provided a clear and thorough explanation of the science and profession of osteopathy.

The content was informative. Maybe the content is too easy and too common sense, but its audience is common public, so I think the content is appropriate. Some open questions like "my career goal" and "when I'm not working, I like to..." are very common and easy to answer. If I am the interviewer, I would ask those questions. Overall, the interview is interesting and informative. It shows the enjoyment and value of vets.

    The purpose of this interview would be for Evelyn Hallford to promote her business. Her company, Optimal Nutrition Inc., distributes healthy and wholesome meals for busy people wanting to eat better. Each meal is individualized to the clients specific needs and are made from local and fresh ingredients. The interview was effective because she was able to advertise and give an explanation of what her company is about. She was also able to advertise her open house and website to gain more clientele. The only fallback was she needed to be louder and show more enthusiasm as she came off fairly monotone.

    The interview was intended to inform people of the use and benefits of insulin pump therapy. In the interview they discuss what makes pump therapy different from regular injections, the procedure of installing the pump, how it is better at regulating blood sugar levels as well as the different products available for insulin pumps. The interview proves very effective in presenting the information newly diagnosed diabetics or diabetics thinking about switching to an insulin pump need to know to make an informed decision. One aspect of the interview that makes it such an excellent resource is the discussion between the interviewer and subject, both are very knowledgeable about the subject and work well together to present the information as well as providing relevant tips and past experiences. The speakers use clear, audible and well paced speeches to really convey the information, allowing the viewer to easily follow along with the discussion.

    Both open and closed questions are used by the interviewer to prompt further discussion of insulin pumps as well as to direct conversation in the way he thinks will best suit the audience. The open questions allow for the subject to explain in her own way the benefits of the insulin pump as well as a way for the interviewer to further discuss the topic based on her response. The closed questions as mentioned previously allow the interviewer to steer the conversation and get direct answers which can be very beneficial to the viewer.

    In this interview their is a moderate level of formality with both speakers dressed in business attire and holding a professional conversation. However it is not a completely serious atmosphere, there is some friendly joking that occurs during the interview to lighten the discussion. I really liked the way the questions were addressed. One question I would have liked to have asked is how easy is it to learn how to use these advanced programs?

    Neil Cavuto and Nutrition Expert Rebecca Scritchfield Discuss Salad Bars in Schools http://youtu.be/XnlH6_nrDYE.

    I believe this interview to be very effective. I found Neil Cavuto (host of Fox News Live) to successfully communicate the feelings of Americans and the common misconceptions and unawareness of healthy eating programs implicated by the government. He was able to clearly show the leeriness of citizens to accept this new program. Rebecca Scritchfield RD was able to make the public more aware as to why it is beneficial to the children’s health. She educated Americans with the actual statistics of the poor eating habits of children today and tried to skew Neils thoughts and feelings about this program and why it may be beneficial to American youths.

  40. Katie Couric's interview with Dr. David Kessler and Eric Schlosser on America and Food.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7prLRgbOjZg

    In my opinion I enjoyed watching the interview and I didn’t feel like time has passed by. I actually watched the whole 50 minutes. She asked open-ended questions about how food industries, consumers, government, and the media can contribute to changing America’s eating behaviours despite the norms that individuals are already used to. I noticed her interview style is by asking questions related to her knowledge of nutrition/physiology and current events related to food and health. You can tell her interview style is effective because both Dr. Kessler and Eric answered each question for about 5 - 10 minutes. The guests did more of the talking than Katie yet when Katie talks it seems like she talks as much as the guests. I think it’s because of the structure of each interview question. They can be so open-ended yet it can also be specific. Her questions allow the interviewees to talk for a long time. What’s also important is that she rarely reads of her sheet and she keeps eye contacts with them. I also noticed some hand gestures and body movements which suggest she’s interested and concerned about health as much as her interviewees. When she interviews, she comes of as someone who is knowledgeable and aware as those she interviews. You can tell she has done thorough research and is well prepared everytime she does an interview.

  42. Interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGyl7Iox6jU

    The purpose of the interview was met. Andrew Zimmerman provides his insight and reasoning to the food safety world on how he deals with eating the most bizzare foods around the world. His interview primarily revolved around the reasoning of eating fresh foods immediately after it has been slaughtered, instead of eating foods left out in the open for more than a couple minutes. In a food scientist, the interviewers, eyes - it provides a very logical explanation to why he does not experience many foodbourne illnesses associated with improper food handling.

    The open question is straight forward. The interviewer asks, “are you worried about taking the risks of eating all these strange foods?” Immediately Andrew Zimmerman responds with he takes very little risk because of his idea of having super-fresh, unspoiled foods. He provides examples of many situations where he will avoid foods, such as street-vendors that have no one going to them, or eating buffet foods in a foreign country that has been left sitting out for couple hours. The structure of his reasoning makes his interview very effective and helps expand on the explanation on why some people eat what they eat - for the Research Chef Association.

The purpose of this interview was to acquire information for students about nutrition and their lives. The content covered a variety of aspects that pertains to student life including energy, studying, proper eating, and physical activity. The dietitian was effective in conveying her information, she was very knowledgeable and gave proper reasoning for her information. Overall it was a good interview with great content for students especially.

    The purpose of the interview with Tracy Stopler, MS, RD was to provide information to the average person on the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist. The interview was hosted by Lisa Bruno of “Beat the Disease Nutritionally”. The interview covered Tracy Stopler’s background, the credential requirements for a Registered Dietitian (RD) and how a lay person can go about determining if a nutritionist is an RD. The interview was effective in satisfying its purpose to its particular audience. The choice of questions were excellent, all open-ended (i.e. “tell me about..”, “what is the process of..”, and “how can..”) to draw the most from the interviewee. The tone of the interview was serious but informal, matching the informal setting. The interviewer and interviewee worked well together. The interviewer paid close attention to the cues of the interviewee and the interviewee mirrored her interviewer in tone, pitch, variance and volume.

    The purpose of this interview was to gain some insight about optimum health and to dismiss and false facts that circulate around us everyday. The nutrition consultant mainly spoke about what she suggests for athletes many not be pasta and breads because for example they contain things such as gluten that is detrimental to the intestinal lining. Other things include the importance of bodily elimination and how she views food. I believe the interview was very effective because she relates to majority of the population and provide good feedback that many can use.

    The purpose o f the interview was to just inform the general public about Dr. Sarah’s journey to becoming a vet and a general inside perspective of a veterinary practice’s procedures. This article is geared towards kids or teens who want to become a vet and gently encourages them to pursue their path and while also suggesting the hardships of being a vet. She goes over schooling, the hardships, important applicant qualities, why its important for your pet to have a annual examination and the economic reality of a vet in practice. In relation to the purpose this interview is quiet effective< the only thing that could make it better is informing the reader about more of the hardships associated with being a vet and how difficult it is to get in.

    This interview with Dr. Oz conducted by Diane Sawyer intended to inform viewers of Good Morning America about new scientific advances that are emerging in the health field. Dr. Oz discusses the importance of the choices of food, choosing nutrient dense food over high caloric low nutrient food is a good way to reduce you daily calorie intake which may help people live longer and more energetic lives. Dr. Oz also explains that recent breakthroughs in health research have come up with a way to regenerate damaged human tissue. Diane Sawyer is an effective interviewer, posing interesting and relevant open-ended questions such as asking Dr. Oz to clarify some popular food myths. She also asks “ How soon realistically do you think, until something like a pancreas or a liver could be ready for replacement?” in which Dr. Oz responds knowledgeably and confidently, it is clear that he has fully prepared for this interview and has done a lot of research on the topic. He tells Diane Sawyer that he has been to the location where this research has taken place, which gives us reason to believe that his responses are credible.

    I listened to the interview with Gail Sidonie Sobat and her book 'Gravity Journal'. The interview is very informative and a lot of information was shared about her book, but the end wasn't ruined for those who haven't read it. A lot of the questions were about the different messages of her book, and the truths of her book. The interviewer listens to the answers given by Gail, and it is obvious that he has read her book. He even comments on her answers. However, he did mix up a few words such as 'slashing' instead of using what was in the book 'cutting'. A lot of the questions were very well answered, and Gail went into great depths of answering the questions.
    I think I would have asked the same type of questions he asked, I thought it was a very, formal, serious interview.

    The purpose of the interview is clear: it provides the opposing view to Canada’s federal government. It serves to educate listeners of the opinions of both sides of the issue over the climate change policy. David Suzuki handles the interview well by giving the impression that he is a very educated, informed professional with well-developed criticism of the government. His points appeal to the individual Canadians who are concerned about the environment. Suzuki’s answers trigger emotions of listeners and strike at matters that are applicable to the average Canadian. The interview is effective at drawing strong, politically polarizing answers from David Suzuki. It works to both educate listeners and express an alternative view to Canada’s federal government.

    The questions used are open to allow for expansion and let Suzuki add some of the details he wanted to share going into the interview. The interview is quite formal, and the topic is very serious, which accounts for the lack of humor. The questions asked were designed to stimulate polarizing, interesting answers and address issues of interest to average Canadians. The interviewer does little reading of the interviewee’s cues. She appears to have set questions and she has little allowance for basing her next question on the answer previously given.

    The purpose of this interview with Ruth West, registered dietitian at the Grey Nuns Hospital, was to inform the audience of the importance of Vitamin D. The content included where Canadians can get Vitamin D from and how much they need. Ruth answers questions about supplementation, food sources, and what happens if you take TOO much. She gives tips to the audience on the easiest ways to get Vitamin D. The interviewer listens to Ruth and always asks questions about what Ruth just said, expanding on the topic and allowing a thorough discussion. This interview is extremely effective in the small time slot it had. It connects with the average audience member and informs them of Vitamin D’s importance and just how easy it is to get enough.

    In the interview that I watch with Steve Jobs, the interviewer asked mostly open ended questions. The use of a closed ended question is used when the interviewer wants to ask a profound question where the answer is very interesting. This was a 60 Minutes Overtime Interview so the atmosphere of the interview was quite formal. The interviewer was never shown, which puts all the focus on Steve Jobs who is obviously the more important figure here. I think the questions asked by the interviewer were good. They allowed Steve to add a lot to the answers making the interview very entertaining to watch. The interviewer does read into some of Steve Jobs cues. Sometimes an answer from Steve Jobs would lead to another related question which the interviewer asked. This showed that the interviewer was paying attention to what Steve Jobs said and was genuinely interested rather than simply reading questions off a cue card.

The interview was with a Sports Nutritionist named trionne Moore. and she talked about how she approaches to nutrition and what her response and she advice for athelets and people who wanna lose body fat. The interviewer asked many closed questions, they were specific to profession. The interviewers was not shown in this video which put the focus more on Trionne Moore and the question asked very good questions but the answers given by the nutritionist were very informative, she was very knowledgeable about her profession.

    paragraph:

    Overall, I thought the interview was very informative and not too dry. She addressed major issues that a lot of woman should take note of. The purpose of this interview was to inform woman on how nails can directly reflect their overall health. I feel that she achieved her goal by applying her nutritional knowledge in conjunction with prenatal vitamins. By describing what unhealthy nails look like, woman can notice possible warning signs about more serious internal problems. While I thought her message was very effective, I feel that she could have gone more in depth to further educate the audience. Her articulation and verbal skills allowed her knowledge to come across easily and eloquently.

    The interview start from Diane Sawyer statement that there are 100 million American has vitamin deficiency. In the interview, Dr. OZ emphasized the importance of vitamin D for our body. It's not only good for bone health, but also related with improving many illnesses, including colon cancer, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, and depression. Dr. OZ also mentions that although you can take vitamin D as an oral supplement, the best way to be absorbed is by getting some sun exposure. Dr. Oz recommend spending 15 minutes a day will get vitamin D levels, that are recommended.

    The interview is highly efficient. Dr. Oz use variance technique during the interview, including asking question to audience, showing picture on American map where is line of not having enough vitamin D for winter, showing video how vitamin D is absorbed. Dr. Oz also use different tone and pitch to address the important point during his interview.

    The interview was very well done. I've seen Temple Grandin speak before and she was amazing. She was born with autism, but has become very famous due to her involvement within the livestock industry. The interview starts off with a brief summary of Temple Grandin and her achievements within her life and her as an inspirational figure. The first question just dives right into Temples life -"Describe if you would what being autistic means to you, how does it make you feel?" Temple reminisces about growing up with autism and the challenges she faced. There was very good flow between then interviewer and interviewee, very few pauses. The second half of the interview focuses on addressing the livestock industry, what Temple has achieved and her future goals within the industry. Very good conversation between the interviewer and interviewee.

    I wouldn't change any of the questions asked or even add any. They were all good and relevant. Considering the interview is an hour long, there was lots of conversation and tons of questions asked. The interviewer did take cues from Temple on what to say and how to keep the conversation going, but you can tell that the interview was rehearsed. The interview itself was in a a fairly formal setting - a round table with just one interviewer and Temple.

    The purpose of the interview was to help consumers become aware of the importance of osteoporosis prevention in childhood and adolescence, as well as become familiar with the sources of food that contain calcium. The content focused on how osteoporosis is an “early” disease that manifests in adulthood, and where consumers can find sources of calcium. It also dispelled myths about foods that are considered “great sources” of calcium, such as broccoli and soymilk. I thought that this interview was effective, as most individuals do not want to sit and watch an interview that is very long. By having a concise interview segment with a targeted message, it really emphasized the importance of the overall content. What also contributed to the effectiveness was the speech and overall conductance of the interview on both Heidi Bates and the interviewer’s part. Both individuals had great tone, variation in pitch, and had the interview really come off as genuine and just a conversation between two people.

    The interview consisted of mostly open-ended questions. Formality was present, however the interview came off as a genuine conversation, as the interviewer really did sense the cues of the interviewee and acted appropriately. I would have probably asked the same questions as the interviewer as a concise short message was meant to be conveyed, and I think that she did it well.

    The interview with Laura Foell,the farmer director of United soybean board, is to introduce the public the concept of agricultural biotechnology ,its benefit and how it is related to our daily life.
    the content of this interview can be divided into three parts: clarify what is biotechnology and give some example of its use,like omega-3 soy oil; the benefits or advantages of biotechnology compare to traditional technology,like use less fuel and more environmental friendly ;Why farmers choose to use biotechnology and how it change their old production ways.

    the interviewer used many open questions and expected to get a detailed answer.both interviewer and interviewee are effective in ask or answer the questions,neither of feeling nervous. the questions were asked is well organised and easy to understand. the interviewer always asked the question directly and without give some feedback on the previous answer.

    The purpose of this interview was to promote the SPCA shelter and tell the public what they do and how the public can help. You get Brian Shapiro’s perspective of actually working there day by day and the issues that come along with it. The interview isn’t seen in this video but you can tell that he is reading off a sheet of questions. This is not a bad thing to come prepared but he did not have and personal questions for Brian Shapiro adding on to the topic he had just said. This makes it clear that the interviewer does not read the interviewee’s cues, I personally would have asked personal questions like how he got involved with the SPCA and what are his point of views on animal cruelty.

    The purpose of this interview between Pat Kenny and Tom Regan was to learn about Tom Regan’s view and justifications for animal rights. The main contents of the interview involved determining the specifics of what animal rights meant to Regan and why people should believe animal rights. The interview was on the formal side, but still informal in that Kenny often joked around and went to ask the audience some questions. The interview was effective as Kenny asked questions that were specific and which Regan could answer directly.

    Kenny did read the Regan’s cues and responded accordingly, often providing counterpoints against animal rights for Regan to argue against. I would ask the same questions given in the interview, the only thing I would do differently is not to interrupt Regan constantly (something Kenny had a habit of doing).

    In the interview Patrick Low, WTO Chief Economist spoke on resource trade policy and it’s purpose. The reason why this is such an important issue is that resources are not regular market goods. They are often finite and/or exhaustible under certain extraction processes. As well resources are not equally distributed, yet are essential to human life.

    The interview was very professional and formal. No humour was used, both the interviewer and interviewee spoke in a very monotone voice. They spoke slowly and used effective pronunciation so it was easy to understand what they were talking about.

    All questions were appropriate so the interviewee could respond with an answer that explained the subject content of the interview well.

    I would have answer the same questions because they were perfect to explain the subject matter. As well I would try to match the effect cues and response time between question and answer.

    The interviewee was very thorough in his responses and his voice was very clear. He did pause between sentences, but his tone and his pronunciation was perfect.

    The interview was professional, but the veterinarian did use humor in some of his personal stories. Sharing his experiences helped make the interview more entertaining to listen to.

    The questions were well thought out but open-ended, so the veterinarian has more liberty with his answer.

The questions asked were simple yet addressed the majority of questions/concerns people may have when deciding if a certain job may be for them or not. The speaker also gave suggestions such as shadowing a registered dietitian to see if the job is truly for you. The speaker was very knowledgeable on the topic and a great help for anyone interested in such a career.

  71. The interview was with a registered dietitian by the name of Tammy Famousa, and it took place on The Morning Show. The purpose of the interview was to inform consumers about false nutritional claims on certain everyday food items. For example, Apple Jacks a cereal that is high in sugar, claims that it provides fiber. The misleading part is that the cereal contains isolated fiber that is synthetically made and not from natural sources, and therefore does not provide the same benefit. The interview was very short, but got the point across that it is still crucial to read the ingredients on food labels, because the claims made on the front of the package may in fact be mis-leading.

    This interview is also a good idea to practice what to ask when giving an interview and how to answer when is interviewed. We find out a basic reserach of the company is necessary before having the interview. Konwing the company's history and current status is needed for a confident answer. Furthermore, people who give interview will very likely to have you give a self-introduction. In this case, a well-organized and attractive statement should be prepared.

The purpose of the interview was to debunk the myth that eating before a workout is bad. It was stated as being good since it provides the needed energy to get through a more intense workout. Another highlight though was that eating after a workout is important.

    This interview contained questions that were more open, which allowed for more thought to be put in when answering them. All questions were asked and answered in an appropriate formal manner, as well as the interview being appropriately formal for the situation itself, there seemed to be little humor present (if any at all) and this was appropriate for the way the interview was conducted. The questions asked were appropriate for the topic of science journalism, I would most likely have asked the same questions and perhaps included a few more on relation of scientific journalism to the general public. The interviewer does indeed listen to the answers given because he does seek clarification a few times on certain topics addressed in said answers.

    The interview was directed to an audience of individuals thinking or planning on becoming a veterinarian.
    The interview was fairly formal, with an abundance of both open and closed questions.
    The questions asked in the interview were fairly predictable and not very creative. None the less, the interviewee was able to elaborate on each question and give well thought out answers.
    It did not seem as though the interviewer was particularly interested in the answers, rather they were more focused on relaying the questions. Therefore, I would not have changed the questions in any way, but I would change the format in which they were asked and supply a bit more feedback between questions, such as a "thank you" or "okay".

    The google doc that we made can be found herehttps://docs.google.com/a/ualberta.ca/document/d/1zZHzZvm4bpmlN_SX9b3xcJDrYje9JDKTnXrfcb4BGrM/edit
    The interview that we chose was a from a registered dietician. She was formal yet friendly in her answers and answered questions based on how much she loved her work. The questions asked were fairly broad and general and made it clear that the audience of this interview was intended to be the general public. We thought this interview was a good one because it was fairly clear that she genuinely enjoyed and got excited about her work and sharing it with others

    We chose an interview with a registered dietitian on YouTube which talks about the healthier alternatives of coffee and other energy drinks that contain caffeine. The interviewee gives us professional information about this topic in a formal and friendly way. The interviewer asks some open questions in a very clear and direct way, and the interviewee answers the questions properly and informatively. The interviewer listens to the answer carefully which in our opinion is a very polite manner.

    The interview was not too formal but still remained professional. The interviewer was attentive to the interviewee and asked questions and gave appropriate replies. She stayed on topic with the interview and made the atmosphere comfortable for the interviewee. The interviewer sat close to the interviewee which made the interview more relaxed and personal. She faced the interviewee and made appropriate gestures such as nodding and making eye contact. I would ask the same questions because the interviewee was very open to the topic and should a lot of expertise. She didn't need the interviewer to constantly ask questions. She was very informative on her own but the interviewer just steered her into the right way for the interview.
