Explain the differences between unstructured, semi-structured, and structured interviews.

Unstructured Interviews

Interviews with broad questions and a loose schedule of questions so that interviewees have the freedom to volunteer information and to explain their responses.

Semi-structured Interviews

A qualitative research method involving open-ended questions that allow for in-depth exploration of a participant's views and experiences, while still guiding the conversation through a predefined set of topics.
