[Dale Erickson]

PLEASE help this Graduate Student by taking a SHORT survey!

The survey closes this Friday, 06/06/08!

My name is Janmy Nguyen, and I am a graduate student under the direction of Dr. Stephanie Turner in the Department of English at the University of Houston-Downtown. I am conducting a research study to help explore any gaps in undergraduate technical communication programs at Texas universities in preparing graduates in their role as professionals in the software documentation/medical communication field.

The goal of my study is to help identify ways to improve technical communication programs to better prepare undergraduates for their role and help them become key contributors to the field. By answering this survey, you will provide valuable information in identifying any gaps in Texas undergraduate technical communication programs as well as ways to help prepare their students as professional software documentation specialists/medical communicators.

If you are involved in the hiring process of technical communicators in software documentation or medical writing in Texas, I am requesting your participation in my study by answering a quick survey:

The survey is about 5-10 minutes, and your participation in this study is voluntary. You can choose not to participate or to withdraw from the study at any time without any penalties. The results of the research study may be published, but your name will not be used.

If you have any questions concerning the research study, please contact me at jnguyen255 at yahoo.com. Thank you in advance for your help in my study.
