Comparison of the First interview and the Second

      The main change between my first and second interview was the location. For the first interview Faisal and I conducted our interview in an open area, but it was during Spring Break so there was no outside noise. Abdullah and I conducted our interview in a study room in the media center, and I will probably do this for my third interview. I used the same questions, the same recorder, and the same transcription method of listening to the file on the computer. Even though I learned a lot from my first interview, my second interview helped confirm some things and even add new information. For example, after the first interview I knew about the basic structure of Islam but after the second interview I learned some specific things like their charitible nature. Nothing was contradictory, so this must mean that both of my sources are credible. I spent about 1.5 hours transcribing the first interview, and about 2 hours transcribing the second. I think that this time was well spent though, because I'm satisfied with the quality of my work. Some of my classmates did excellent work, which may be better than mine, but other classmates didn't put much effort into it.
