petersuberWriting Studies friends -- if you teach or have recently taught a methods course in composition/rhetoric/tech comm, we'd like to know what main texts you used in the class. One of our PhD students, Maria Miranda, has put together a very short survey (mainly asking you to cut and past the reading list from your syllabus) so we can get a sense of the most common texts we use in these courses (I know these fields might be quite different in terms of method, but that's something she'll need to wrestle with once she has the data!)
Here's a link to the survey (which of course starts with the informed consent statement):

Please pass on to anyone you know who is teaching or has recently taught a methods course - thanks!
Qualtrics Survey | Research Methods in Writing Studies
This research is being conducted to examine the texts used in research methods in writing/rhetoric/composition studies courses across the United States not only find out if writing studies functions from a set of research assumptions and if so, how these translate to represent the core values and beliefs of the field but to also align this answer with what it means for the teaching of research. This survey aims to identify the key texts currently used to teach graduate methods courses in our field; these texts will then be the primary object of analysis in the research.
