Interview didn't consist of a list of questions where I had to answer them like on a regular college exam. Instead we talked about assignment I did and during our review questions popped up and that's where I tried to give the correct answer. For example: 1. What is this principle called? 2. Why did you use this way, instead of the other? 3. Would it be better if you tried this instead of that? You get the picture :)
