Research Interviews

I have done many research papers in past classes, and even a couple of speeches that I needed to conduct  extensive research on, but I can't recall ever doing a research interview for any of them. Which means I really don't have much experience to share with everyone and it also probably means that I need much improvement on the topic. However I have seen interviews conducted on TV, which I can go from. I would say that probably the best advice to give would be scheduling enough time, not only for the interview, but after the interview in order to be able to incorporate the information given to you, into your speech or paper accordingly. Also come prepared to the interview, figure out your questions ahead of time so you know what to ask the person when you get there. You can always adjust your questions to the information the interviewee gives you if need be. I feel that there it probably takes some practice to conduct a good interview, and I hope to possibly conduct one my self when researching a speech for this class.
