Charles Spencer Interview

703 Words3 Pages

The Interview with Dr. Charles Spencer, Assistant Professor and researcher in the Biology department, was a quite interesting one. This interview was by far the one I was looking forward to the most, not only because next semester I will have him as a professor, but because he works in an area very close to what I aspire to work in. The questions I asked him encompassed a lot of the details of his early career, such as how he started work in research while he was still an undergraduate student, and I also asked him more in depth questions about the motivations behind his RDC course.

Was the transition and change from Missouri/Tennessee to El Paso a drastic one? Where there any difficulties related to it? Dr. Spencer very quickly answered that the transition was not difficult at all, he went on to mention how the environment was the most drastic change, but not really a difficulty when relating to his work. He did emphasize how the community was the most welcoming change; he noted the particular openness and friendliness of the community that he observed as the most entrancing change he experienced in his transition.

What were some particular difficulties you faced by beginning work in research while still an undergraduate student? How did …show more content…

Spencer, I found it rather illuminating to see what research and work in research could mean for a person, especially an undergraduate student. This interview made me realize the amount of work I will have for next semester, from balancing classes with research and managing my time much more efficiently than I currently am. I also enjoy the fact that Dr. Spencer will somewhat know me before I begin his RDC course, which will hopefully mean I will be able to rely on him for help in a more common and professional manner. I hope this interview can be the gateway into a more productive and professional relationship with Dr. Spencer, with whom I am extremely excited to work
