Interviewing Mrs. Major

I interviewed Mary Major, the AP and Pre-AP Biology teacher, whom I happen to have for AP Biology. She has much experience in the fields of medical and biological science, and has masters degrees in three areas of study. She also taught chemistry. Because of her background with the earth and properties of fuels, their effects on the environment…I thought she would be the best candidate for my topic of alternative energy sources. I asked her how she felt about alternative sources, and she is all for them. Her favorite type of alternate source is a tie between wind and water power. She likes those because they are two resources that we cannot run out of. I then asked about solar power, because it meets those criteria as well. She said that solar power is very good but it is currently too costly to have enough solar panels even on a house to run the electricity.

Mrs. Major is my favorite teacher, therefore I thoroughly enjoyed the experience to interview her in a formal setting about a topic we haven’t discussed much in class. After doing the blogs involved with this project I felt pretty well informed on alternative sources, so we were able to have a mature discussion and I got to hear opinions from someone who is knowledgeable as well as interesting. Her views on the subject were well thought out and very up to date. The interview portion of this project was probably my favorite.
