To complete this assignment please read Chapter 3 of your textbook.

 

Task 1: Discuss 3 types of questions you can start asking in interviewing. What is the purpose of each and why would they be a helpful skill for you to have?

 

Task 2: Jenna Frenzy is a new teacher at SJSU. After a rough first semester Jenna felt she struggled to connect with her students. She also had limited feedback in what assignments were valuable. Overall Jenna wants to improve both as a teacher and also improve the usefulness of her class. She has received her student evaluations but felt like there wasn’t a lot of information to be gained. Jenna emailed her class list and asked if any students would be interested in coming in for an exit interview. Three students responded.

 

For this task 2 please help Jenna draft some effective questions.

 

Re-write the following questions in a way where they would provide more feedback and information: 

 

1. What do you think are the strengths of this instructor’s teaching?

 

2. What suggestions, if any, do you have to further improve the instructor’s teaching?
