Interview Assignment

1. Read the recommended journal article/technical paper that your interviewee has written. 
2. Write a one page summary of that paper in your own words.  I do not expect you will understand every word.  I am looking for a summary of what you got from the paper.  This is due in class on the day of the interview.
3. Write three questions about the paper to ask your interviewee.  These should not be questions about specific terminology or details, but instead should be more general.   They can be questions about the content about the paper, about the process by which the paper was written, or about the overall subject of the paper and its context within that subject. A written copy of these is also due on the day of the interview. 
4. Write three other questions that you would like to ask the interviewee.  These should include things about the guest's motivation for doing astronomy, about his or her background and challenges faced along the way, about advice they might have for you, or really, about anything you want to ask.
5. Be prepared to lead the interview on the day of class.  Our interviewee will first be asked to make a 10 minute statement about research interests and a 5 minute statement on career history.  You may want to meet with your co-interviewers before the interview to coordinate your efforts.
