Short Assignment #1

DESIGN THINKING – EMPATIZAR

This short assignment draws on the first phase of the Design Thinking methodology: EMPATHY.

For this assignment you have to interview 3 Spanish speakers asking them about the difficulties they are experiencing at this moment. These interviews will help you practice your oral Spanish and start your research about your course project.

Instructions

  • Decide who you want to interview and contact them letting them know that this short conversation is part of a class assignment and that will be recorded. The interviewees can be people you know like relatives or friends or that you do not personally like someone working in a local store or a friend of a friend.
  • Schedule a time to talk with them either in-person, virtually, or on the phone.
  • Make sure you can record the interview using your mobile phone or any other device.
  • Ask the interviewees the following questions:
  1. ¿Podría decirme su nombre completo, su edad, su lugar de nacimiento, el lugar en el que reside actualmente y su ocupación profesional?
  2. ¿Cómo se encuentra en este momento?
  3. ¿Podría decirme de qué manera le ha afectado la pandemia del COVID-19?
  4. ¿Hay algún problema o tema de actualidad que le preocupa especialmente?
  • Transcribe the interviews in your Individual Working Good Doc editing any mayor mistakes if necessary.
  • At the end answer the following question in 100-150 words: ¿Con qué tema o situación de los mencionados en tu entrevista te sientes más identificado/a? ¿Por qué?
