I was happy with how my mock interview went. My interviewee did a fantastic job of answering questions and had some great suggestions. One idea that I will definitely employ is to have a very general equation of an equilibrium reaction so that students can know what I am talking about. I will likely have the student draw the equation to see how they draw it. I missed a fundamental question on what the equilibrium constant is that will be useful to use. It is important to make sure that I have the student define all the concepts that I will then ask them questions on later to ensure that there is an understanding of the definition but a lack of the conceptual understanding.
The other trick I want to use is to have them write down anything they want to and keep track of that as they do it. I need to make sure to expand on the questions to delve into what the students understand.
