The biggest problem I have with the Mid-Term Video project is getting people to interview. I have herd all the excuses from I don’t know what critical thinking is, to I’m camera shy, to I don’t have the time. I herd the last one from one of my professors, (you can guess which one).
I try to be persistent in asking people if I can interview them, but I am not a very demanding person, when they say “no”, I say “ok” and walk away. I don’t have friends to fall back on, and I don’t know how to convince other people that this is not a waist of their time. I learned, however, that there is a very small handful of people that are willing to help people in need. There was one girl who came up to me, after struggling for an hour and a half, and said, “I see your struggling, how can I help.” It is because of that girl I continue to ask people for an interview. I figure in a school as big as this one, there should be people who will let me waist some of their time.
