I have begun my interviewing process with my five subjects. Two are completed and although a decade apart in age, they respond similarly to some of the questions. Interesting! I have added at the end of my interview a question that I hope will assist me in my thesis (later on in my degree program). The question is, "If there was a course in college readiness geared toward adult learners, 1) would you take it? and 2) what would you expect to be covered in the class?" This question has so far affirmed my thesis project idea.
I have come to the conclusion that an amendment is needed for my learning contract. I am finding, as I do my chapter review (and additional reading), that the topic directly relates to the responses from the videos. To that end, I would like to adjust the contract to have the chapter/book review be a part of the final project. The material is just too similar to the interviews to not make direct correlations with the chapters. Keeping them separate will only be duplicative. To that end, I imagine my "summary/book review" to be longer in length, but that is ok because there is a LOT of information on my subject of barriers and emotion.
Now it is off to the hot tub after a long day of research and reading!

Having finished viewing the two interviews, I concur with two things: (a) What you are suggesting as an amendment to your learning contract makes excellent sense and I will so note it in my records; (b) What you are experiencing and learning is classic interviewing results when getting adults to talk about their learning so by all means I encourage you to turn this into your final 690 project.
