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

- Medical Writing/Communication survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=qK_2fdf0GxPw5ISrUVwIDCzA_3d_3d
The survey is about 5–10 minutes. 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.
