2011 Grinnell Science Project An Interviewing Exercise

To help you get to know all of the other Grinnell Science students we want you to do a little bit of interviewing. Each team will interview every one of the Grinnell Science students, as well as the other people on the list, each team getting a different set of information.

Since you will need to enter this into Excel, we have created a file that has the names of all the GSP students, assistants and directors on it. You can get a copy of this file from the Documents section of our Pioneer Web (P- Web) GSP “class”. After doing your interviewing, fill the Excel sheet in, save with a descriptive name, and submit it through the Assignments section of our P-Web GSP class. If you need help submitting your results, just ask!
