Interview Script – Gentrification Project (FIU Interview

Notes

PROFESSOR MATTHEW MARR

1. Sit up straight, stay relaxed, and make natural eye contact with the
speaker.

2. Speak clearly and at a steady pace, not too fast.

3. Pause briefly after the interviewee answers before asking the next
question.

4. Do not interrupt each other; wait until the speaker finishes.

5. If someone talks too long, politely guide it forward by saying, “That’s


really helpful, I want to connect that to our next question.”

6. If the answer is short, ask, “Could you expand on that a little more?”

7. If someone forgets what to say, another group member should smoothly


step in.
