My practice interview brought up a few concerns that I didn’t even know I had. I was paired with someone who had never taken an Anatomy course. Since my questions were pertaining material specifically covered in the first few weeks of A&P, I was concerned that this exercise would not be applicable to my actual interview. The same scenario applied for her questions and my course history. I came to the realization that my questions were targeted to someone who came to class, did well on their homework, and successfully learned the material from Ch. 18 this semester. There is a good chance that the student I interview may not completely align with my target interviewee. Before this exercise, I was not prepared to interview a student who didn’t successfully learn the material that is the foundation of this interview. My partner did a great job bringing information that she had received through her own personal experiences and advertisements. I did have to adapt my questions a little and change the order so that we could make our way through it all. I also ended up using the male hormones and sex organs in my interview. I did not plan on that at all but I think it helped my partner work through her prior knowledge and get a sense of what I was looking to uncover. My partner used scenarios in her interview and I really liked that. I might pose a scenario involving a damaged uterus or hysterectomy. I didn’t have her draw any models but I think that I will have a pen and paper at the ready to see if it’s something they will decide to do on their own. Overall I think it went well. It was an opportunity for me to get more comfortable with the interview setting and an idea on how to make my questions flow best.
