Dr. Barlow outlined these three main types of questions: (1) Main questions (2) Probes and (3) Follow-up questions. Because follow-up questions serve as an important tool in gathering in-depth information, careful listening plays a crucial role in a successful interview.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Practicing Questions<\/strong>\u2014Getting the most out of your answers. Fellows practiced asking questions, and in doing so learned about the important distinctions between interrogative words like <em>how, why, <\/em>and <em>did<\/em>. This practice also underscored the importance of asking questions that lend themselves to open answers rich with information, rather than one-word responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Technology. <\/strong>Modern technology can be very helpful in gathering, transcribing, and analyzing interview data.
