OHP reflection
My experience with the Oral History Project was rather clean and not too stressful. We didn't have any mess ups or issues with scheduling. We interviewed Kirk Rummel, the CFO of Baker Ripley community center. He gave us information about Harvey in a way only a businessman could. I appreciated how he looked at Harvey from a very financial way, citing how it would affect more of Houston's future than it's present. How many businesses would be worried about flooding when they would have moved to Houston.
I blame the overall ease of the project to my team members, specifically Elliott, who contacted Kirk and set up the interview single-handedly. I came up with most of the interview questions, Mia conducted the interview, and Nathaniel only did the video (which is understandable he was in China with no internet for 80% of the project time). I would give everyone a good grade in my group, at least that's what I believe.
(Question one)
If I were to conduct another interview I would try to replicate the interview I had. Except perhaps get more interviewer interaction in there, and get more questions, our interview was not very long. I would want at least 20-25 questions to get over 45 minutes from an interviewee.
(Question 3)
I would tell them to split the workload, and that it is incredibly important that each person gets an equal role. You would not believe how important it is. You don't want someone to feel like they did everything, both for your relationship to them and your GPA.
