Interview Process
We have three different stakeholders (students, professors, and campus labs) therefore, we decided to create three sets of interview questions. All three sets of interview questions are meant to be used as a base in semi-structured interviews. Additional specific questions can be added to each set by the interviewer when appropriate. For all interviews conducted in person, we asked to take photos when we deemed them necessary. For all interviews conducted over the phone, we asked the participants to send photos when necessary.
