Blog 5 - Interview 1 Reflection




1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview?  Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?
The most important thing I learned from this interview is that I can get a lot of information from any possible source about forensic science because forensics contains so much science that even if it seems surreal, there's always science. Especially with the crime fiction shows/novels, the plot may seem too extreme and may be unrealistic but the science of forensics can never be hidden. For other interviews, I would ask better, more interesting questions to make the interview less boring.

2. Did I get additional resources and contacts?  What is the most useful?  Why?
I got some additional resources about different perspectives of forensics. Other than that, I didn't get any resources or contacts. But it was really useful to dig deeper into researching different view points of forensics because like all things, it is not 100% perfect. No matter which way you look at it.

3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me? 
My interviewee was qualified to help me because she has a lot of knowledge of my topic of forensic sciences. Although she is not an actual forensic scientist, she studied forensic science in college and is continuing to become one.

  1. Thank you! This looks good. I know Ontario Police Department has a college internship program in forensics. Keep it in mind. Also, I have a source at a school in Rowland Unified that might be able to get you into a Forensics or Criminal Justice class. I'm not sure I told you before.
