Interview an Expert

Interviewing someone who has knowledge and expertise in your Senior Project topic is a great way to not only gather information for your research paper but to make a contact who might help you in the project phase. It is enjoyable to talk to someone who is interested in your subject and most people are happy to talk about what they do for a living.

The information you gain from this person is often more valuable than the material taken from written sources. Take full advantage of your time with this expert by properly preparing ahead of time. Use effective interviewing skills, and immediately afterwards carefully review your notes.*

Thanksgiving week would be a great time to complete the interview, either in person or over the phone. Most people have Thursday and maybe Friday off, but they will be at work Monday through Wednesday.
