The Art of the Interview

Sawatzki's rules of interviewing are don't ask yes or no questions because you might only get those as the answer, also keep the questions short to get the interviewee to talk more, and don't ask questions with charged words because they could turn the interviewee off and not want to participate. When interviewing you do not want to ramble and have a batter of words, you want to keep it short. Some challenges I have had personally with interviews is finding someone to interview and then asking them the right questions to get good information that I can quote in a paper. I can follow Sawatzki's rules of interviewing and also pick my sources more carefully.
