 What

do you want to know? Review the purpose of your evaluation and why you are conducting these interviews Decide on the questions you will ask Brainstorm questions Prioritize and identify the key questions Identify possible probing questions Anticipate how long each question will take to answer and keep within your timeframe

Ask questions at a reasonable pace. If the interview is structured, read each question exactly as written and in the same order every time. Read the entire question before accepting an answer. When asked to repeat a question, repeat the entire question.

 Do

not skip a question because it was answered earlier or because you think you know the answer. Encourage responses with occasional nods of the head, "uh huh"s, etc.
Provide

transition between major topics, e.g., "we've been talking about (some topic) and now I'd like to move on to (another topic)."

 Do

not count on your memory to recall their answers. Ask for permission to record the interview or take notes. Do not allow the person you are interviewing to continually get off topic. If the conversation drifts, ask follow-up questions to redirect the conversation to the subject at hand. Avoid Biasness
