Final Interviews
Due: Students will sign up for individual meetings during finals week (Dec 11 - 12).
Weight: This assignment is worth 10% of your final grade.
Assessment: Your submission will be assessed using the rubric at the bottom of this page.
The instructor will hold a 10-minute one-on-one interview with each student. The interview will consist of questions about your final project as well as questions about core concepts covered during the course.
Some suggestions:
- Bring water to drink - it will calm you when you are nervous and your mouth dries up. You can also pause and think while you drink.
- Don’t answer right away - think a bit.
- Answer the question asked. Don’t try to impress or I will ask more questions.
- Don’t say “I don’t know.” Try and I will help you.
