An Analysis Of Research Article Productivity By Telecommunication Scholars Over The Past Decade, David Atkin, Leo W. Jeffres Jan 1998

An Analysis Of Research Article Productivity By Telecommunication Scholars Over The Past Decade, David Atkin, Leo W. Jeffres

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

The article presents a study which assesses scholarly productivity in telecommunication-oriented journals from 1985-1995. Telecommunication can be defined as mediated communication across a distance. Sixteen journals were selected for this analysis. Most were listed among publications with the highest number of telecommunication authorship credits, according to Vincent's study. Some of the differences in journal contributions may be a function of publication frequency and size. For instance, Journal of Media Economics (3.6 percent of articles) offered two issues/year through 1990 before expanding to four issues in 1993. Journalism Quarterly publishes more articles per issue than any of the other criterion journals. …

New Wave Computer Technology And The Administration Of Speech Communication Performance Courses, Chris R. Sawyer, Ralph R. Behnke Jan 1998

New Wave Computer Technology And The Administration Of Speech Communication Performance Courses, Chris R. Sawyer, Ralph R. Behnke

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

The article talks about the continued interest of the speech communication field in technology-supported instruction. Earlier detailed descriptions of teaching/learning laboratories in speech communication are based upon older computer-assisted instruction models and such laboratories were financially out of reach for most small-to-average sized departments. Recent, dramatic enhancements of the memories and processing speeds of microcomputers has made them ideal for recording, editing, and replaying sound supported motion picture clips of speech presentations. Clearly, evaluating student performance and providing substantial and prompt instructional feedback can easily be accommodated by the course web site. Aside from the interactive testing and automated grading …

Approaches To Teaching Organizational Communication, Ronald L. Applbaum Jan 1998

Approaches To Teaching Organizational Communication, Ronald L. Applbaum

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses approaches to teaching organizational communication in departments of speech communication. This paper argues that the primary goal in most organizational communication courses at the undergraduate level is actually the development of communication competencies. There are a number of teaching strategies used in the teaching of the basic course in organizational communication, ranging from lecture/discussion to experiential learning projects. Instructors have been particularly sensitive to criticism for the need to connect the classroom to the workplace. Instructional exercises are used to examine the role of human interaction in organizational life. Some of the most frequently used exercise strategies …

Course Fee Assessments: Categories And Policies, Lorayne W. Lester Jan 1998

Course Fee Assessments: Categories And Policies, Lorayne W. Lester

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article provides information on special student fees authorized by the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. These fees are assessments beyond the regular tuition costs paid by all students when departments must purchase markedly unusual, expendable materials or equipment for use by small numbers of students in certain highly specialized courses. Special fees have also been authorized for departments required to provide services, equipment, or facilities for small populations of students when such services, equipment or facilities are clearly beyond those commonly provided for the majority of students on campus. In a few instances, …

New Faculty: Starting Them Off In The Right Direction, Christopher Lynch, Teresa E. Choate Jan 1998

New Faculty: Starting Them Off In The Right Direction, Christopher Lynch, Teresa E. Choate

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article focuses on the problems faced by new college professors and the key to their success, which is communication: establishing a network for information, assistance and encouragement. When colleges and universities start new faculty off in the right direction, those faculty members will function better as teachers, as scholars, as committee members, and as long-term members of that academic community. Considering the financial investment a school makes in the interview process and in the hiring of new faculty, a thoroughly considered and well financed orientation program is insurance no college or university should be without.

Perspectives On Norm-Referenced And Criterion-Referenced Grading In Introductory Speech Performance Courses, Ralph R. Behnke, Chris R. Sawyer Jan 1998

Perspectives On Norm-Referenced And Criterion-Referenced Grading In Introductory Speech Performance Courses, Ralph R. Behnke, Chris R. Sawyer

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the integration and amalgamation of norm-referenced and criterion-referenced perspectives in a manner that is particularly appropriate for use in basic or introductory speech communication performance courses. Possibly the greatest virtue of using criterion-referenced grading of speeches in a basic speech performance course is the generation of positive affect toward performance. Because students identify with their speeches, they are much more demoralized by negative feedback about their work on these assignments than for others. By setting appropriate minimal performance criteria that most beginning students can achieve, morale remains high, there is an atmosphere of success, and, in fact, …

Factors That Influence The Funding Of College And University Media Outlets: Radio As A Blueprint, Samuel J. Sauls Jan 1998

Factors That Influence The Funding Of College And University Media Outlets: Radio As A Blueprint, Samuel J. Sauls

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article presents a study examining the funding aspects of college and university radio stations. The article focuses on the investigation of the variables of station management positions, station types, station power and perceptions of station purposes among radio station directors as possible significant predictors of selected factors which influence the funding of college and university noncommercial radio stations. The traditional function of most campus radio stations has been to serve as a training ground for students who plan to enter professional broadcasting. The present study's findings reinforced this contention by distinguishing the view of the radio station as a …

Ruminating On The U.S. Open Tennis Championships, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 1997

Ruminating On The U.S. Open Tennis Championships, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Looking back to the first radio commentary I did six years ago, the subject was the U.S. Open Tennis Championships where the stellar performance that year by Jimmy Connors, especially in his late night match against Patrick McEnroe, was such a contrast with the sorry performance by the over hyped Andre Agassi. Connors has since moved on to the seniors tour while Agassi's career remains largely the story of the failure to live up to the hype and the potential.

All the color and pageantry of college football is about to be unleashed on us again, along with all the NCAA public relations machinery designed to tell us how important college sports have been in building character in modern America. What we won't hear discussed in those NCAA halftime promotional spots will be the details of fraud in Pell Grants, the federal aid program for needy college students.
