Your instructor will assign you a computer scientist to interview. You will interview this individual and write a 300-500 word paper that profiles the individual, his or her professional (e.g., research and teaching) interests, background, future plans, etc. You are free to write about anything of (professional) interest you discover about the individual.
To prepare for the interview, you may want to study the interviewing resources on the lecture notes page.
Your paper should focus on the idea that you want the reader to remember. You should introduce the idea at the beginning, reinforce it throughout the body, and then restate it at the end. Your paper should tell an interesting story--not merely to give a biography of the individual or report on the questions you asked and the responses the individual gave.
Clarification added after semester: Your paper must be your own work prepared according to the normal expectations for scholarly writing.
Submit your paper electronically via Blackboard and also submit a hardcopy to your instructor. Use a word processor that produces a document that is compatible with Microsoft Word.
