  1. Be more specific. For example, how do you plan to make the person feel more comfortable? What interesting things do you hope to learn?

  3. Your objectives will likely not help you generate a good interview, Brad. The preparation is omitted, so is the post production. Please redo.

  5. Well, it looks like a casual interview to me as you are trying to focus on making the interviewee comfortable which is good in a way. On the other hand, you could focus more on their education system back home or the political system. Also, you could ask about their values and perspective about life.

  10. I like objective number 1, the interview should not seem like it is work for the interviewee, just make it look like you guys have a conversation so he/she can answer the questions clearly.

  15. How are you going to learn about their country of origin? Maybe you can google it before you meet your interviewee so that you could ask him/her more detail questions. :)

  16. Your objectives reflect some of the basic things necessary during the interview, but you may want to expand them and include details on your preparation for the interview as well as the required material for after the interview, such as creating a transcription.

  18. I like the 5th it will be good to go away from the questions for a bit and learn something interesting about your interviewee, yet I believe you should include some objectives on how you will prepare for the interview.
