Interview with people switching to vegetarian diets?

Why are people switching to vegetarian diets?

  

Interview

Your group will conduct interviews with people. They might be end-users, experts, or stakeholders. Each member must conduct at least one interview (30 minutes or longer). Interviews must be recorded and audio files must be submitted as part of your project report. 

You will have to transcribe the interview lead by you. You will record the interview and then do a verbatim transcription. This means you will type exactly what the interviewer and the respondent say. Use the following format:

Interviewer: What have you purchased other than textbooks at the University Bookstore?

Respondent: Well, yeah, … I was there yesterday. [laughs].

Interviewer: Were you? Can you recall products you purchased at the Bookstore, other than textbooks?

Respondent: Yeah, soda, pens, that sort of thing …

Interviewer: Have you ever bought the products at some other store rather than at the Bookstore?

Respondent: Well… Sure I have. But I guess because it is there, I mean, well, heck, I’m walking past it and I need pens. Is this what you are asking? OK. Well, I guess ‘cause it’s there. Besides my girlfriend works there.

Interviewer: Really? Did your knowledge or feelings about the Bookstore change as a result of her working there?

Individual submission: Each group member must submit

1) Title page: The title, “Interview” should be centered. Put the date and time in the lower right hand corner and then list the interviewer and interviewee

2) Provide one paragraph as an executive summary of your interview. What you find? What themes emerged? You must discuss in detail those finding themes. Define the themes. Discuss if they are in line with your assumption or not. How are the themes found related to each other? How the themes and their relations help you to understand the studied topic. 

3) Your last paragraph should cover what you learned about the process of doing an interview. What were good? What did not work and how would you want to change if you redo the interview? 

4) Attached the verbatim transcription of the interview to the assignment.

5) You must also submit this assignment electronically via the TurnItIn system on Moodle (Interview Assignment folder)

 
 

  

Sample of an Interview Guide

Before you begin your interview please read this to the respondent:

Thank you for agreeing to help with this interview. Neither I, nor anyone else, will be paid for this research. The goal of this interview is to increase our understanding of student beliefs and experiences with the University Bookstore. The primary purpose of this interview is my education. 

During this interview we will focus on all the items that the University Bookstore sells other than textbooks. Although textbooks are an important aspect of the Bookstore, the following questions refer to all the other items the Bookstore sells. We would also like to hear your experience at the bookstore.

1.Products other than textbooks that they have purchased at the University Bookstore:

· What have they bought?

· Why they bought? (but remember do not ask “Why”. Think about the way you can get the information without asking “Why”)

· In what situations?

· Items rather than textbooks that they know the bookstore carries.

· How do they compare their purchase at the bookstore with their buying experience of other stores? 

· What they want the bookstore to carry?

2. Time when they spend at the bookstore without buying textbooks.

· How did they spend time at the store? (you want to hear their stories)

· How often do they go to the bookstore? With whom?

· Is there any interesting memory at the bookstore?

· Is there anything annoying/pleasing them?

· How does it like to look around at the apparel section? How does it like to browse magazines at the magazine section?

  

Create Transcript By using Youtube

1. Upload you video to Youtube. If you have audio file, use EZ-converter.com to convert audio file to video. Make sure you check “private” before uploading the file

2. Use automatic captioning

If automatic captions are available, they'll automatically be published on the video. Automatic captions may not be ready at the time that you upload a video. Processing time depends on the complexity of the video's audio.

YouTube is constantly improving its speech recognition technology. However, automatic captions might misrepresent the spoken content due to mispronunciations, accents, dialects, or background noise. You should always review automatic captions and edit any parts that haven't been properly transcribed.

Here's how you can review automatic captions and make changes, if needed:

1. Go to your Video Manager by clicking your account in the top right > Creator Studio > Video Manager > Videos.

2. Next to the video you want to add captions or subtitles to, click the drop-down menu next to the Edit button.

3. Select Subtitles and CC.

4. If automatic captions are available, you'll see Language (Automatic) in the "Published" section to the right of the video.

3. Generate Transcript of a YouTube Video

Go to YouTube and open the video of your choice. Click on the More actions button (represented by 3 horizontal dots) located next to the Share button:
 

 Now click on the Transcript option:
 

 A transcript of the closed captions will automatically be generated:
