During the discovery and define it was suggested that i should conduct some interviews to strengthen my reasoning behind the chosen topic that i am wanting to cover and be able to fix.
It was also good to do these interviews because i get to find out in what way some people might be struggling with life at uni whether it is relevant to what i am looking into or not.
I wanted to include some questions that were relevant to what i am looking at which involves overall organisation with the University workload, classes and also trying to work that around your social life.
Questions
Interview 1 - Callum
<aside>
What would a normal day at University look like for you?
I usually just attend my lecture take notes and head home when its done, i would only stay longer if i was needing to finish off on some work.
What would you do when your class is finished?
It actually just depends on the day. If I have projects due, i’ll probably work on them at home. But If I’m free I would go out with friends or go to the gym.
Would you say you are organised with the likes of classes and assignments?
I try to be but i struggle at times. Some weeks I’m on top of everything, but other times i’m leaving it quite tight with some deadlines, and I end up feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Do you use any apps or services to help with keeping organised?
No i actually don’t i just check up on my blackboard to keep my self reminded.
Do you think an app like that would be more beneficial for students?
Yea definitely an app that reminded me about my classes and deadlines would be really helpful and i would actually use it.

Interview 2 - Carter
<aside>
What would a normal day at University look like for you?
A normal day of uni for me is attending my classes then going home and covering my notes that i’m not to sure of or need to answer.
What would you do when your class is finished?
Most days i would just go home and catch up on some work or i would sometimes stay and work in the library.
Would you say you are organised with the likes of classes and assignments?
I would say i’m fairly organised when it comes to my assignments and the majority of my classes.
Do you use any apps or services to help with keeping organised?
I would use a service called quizzlet which helps me to remember my notes and it also makes flash cards and practice questions to help me prepare.
Do you think an app like that would be more beneficial for students?
Yes i think it would because i haven’t really heard of many apps out there that are good for things like this.
