Face to Face Questions

---

 

When you are given the opportunity to ask questions in person, face to face, be sure to ask directly about any issues or problems. Interviewing someone in person permits you to adjust wording, clarifying meanings, and ask additional questions to elicit more detail — things that just are not possible using written instruments or web surveys. Some examples are shown below:

	What training do you need?		This question directly solicits solutions from the interviewee.

 

	What issues do you deal with?		This question directly addresses their problems

 

	What kind of GIS tool would you want, and why?		These questions directly find out the preferences of the interviewee
