living sources interviews and surveys

This reading was very helpful to me because i had been wondering the proper way to conduct an interview before i read this.  I learned that while conducting an interview over the phone is more personal and will more likely yield better results, an email interview can also be helpful for writing a research paper.  The list of interview questions was really helpful and i will most likely use some of those.  I think the multiple choice surveys would be great for large audiences to fill out however i do not think i will choose this method. I also liked the tips on questions to avoid asking, such as loaded questions that will make the interviewee uncomfortable or force them to answer in your favor.   I plan on conducting at least one phone interview and a few email interviews and will likely refer back to this reading.
