Mock Interview Strategy: Maximizing Experiential Learning

---

Abstract

This research study offers an activity for providing students with optimum interview practice, feedback, and self-assessment within the limitations of one class period. Professor Rougeaux-Burnes has developed an assignment that allows students to experience interview preparation, practice their interview skills in a realistic setting, and receive feedback from multiple sources. As participants in the feedback process, students observe interviews of their peers and offer a written critique of their performance in addition to completing a self-assessment of their own performance. As a result, a great deal can be learned in a short period of time. This assignment can also be easily adapted to different classroom settings and time allowances with continued positive results.
