Capstone Blog Post #2

In the capstone project, we have come so far. We finally did the interview and it turned out great. We needed to do the interview because we needed to hear the information from an expert. We also were allowed to ask our own questions so that made it a lot easier to get more information. I thought that doing an interview would help a lot with the project. The interview needed to have at least 10 questions. 

Finding out who to interview was hard. At first, I did not think I knew anyone that was an expert on therapy dogs. I asked my mom to help me find an interview and she said she had a friend with a dog who used to be a therapy dog. I finally got an interview but I felt that I needed to interview two people to get a lot of research. My mom emailed a therapy dog company called the Good Dog Foundation. Someone there agreed to let me interview them! Writing the questions for the interviews was hard. I came up with separate questions for both experts. I added five subquestions to my first interview question slide. After adding my subquestions I needed to make other questions. For example One of my questions was “How long does training take and why?”

The interview was through email. When my mom found an expert I could interview the expert told us we could email all of my questions to her and she would email my mom the answers to all of the questions. When I got the questions back they had good answers. I was very happy with it. To me, it did not go as expected. I thought that it would at least be on zoom or a call. I learned more from the answers though. It gave me some information that I did not have.

Overall the interview was easy at some points but also challenging for the most part. I cant wait to see what is next!
