Interviewing

Yesterday I interviewed people for one of my classes.

I'm not altogether sure how it went...

I mean, they clearly provided me with fresh viewpoints, mentioning some stuff I had never even thought of.

I just don't have the experience I would've liked to have had by this point to know if I collected enough information to satisfy my professor and write something of appropriate length and quality.

Well, on the upside, both interviewees said I could get back in touch with them later if I needed anything extra. I'm just a worry-wort, I suppose.

Have any of you ever interviewed people before?

It's nerve-wracking, I think. It's a little easier when you know the interviewee pretty well, but interviewing a stranger is much worse. For one thing, strangers aren't as willing to divulge as much information. Meanwhile, the one you know is perfectly content saying whatever comes to mind, trusting that you'll "fix" anything that is worded strangely.

Well, final thoughts? I don't like interviewing people. I don't like being responsible for the wording they're entrusting to me. But I must do it, because the people with college authority say I must. =/
