The assignment described in this paper is an attempt to provide speech communication students with some training and experience in interviewing. Following discussion of the objective and rationale for conducting an interview and reporting information from an interview, guidelines are offered to help students with selecting subjects or content areas, preparing for the interview (including what to do on the day of the interview), and preparing the speech-report for class. Appended materials include a discussion of interviewing (how to structure an interview, with a checklist of steps for completing the assignment) and samples of forms used to collect evaluative responses from both the students and the interviewees. A selected bibliography on interviewing is attached. (RL)
