What kind of projects did you do in UNT, and how did they differ from the
free projects you would have done (if you'd only known)? What kinds of reactions
did you get from prospective employers? Have others
on this list had the same experiences? Since I am working full-time as a
technical communicator as I am working on an MA, this doesn't affect me
directly, but I am sure that other students here at OSU and elsewhere would be
interested.
