A National Profile Of Experiential Education Trends In Communication Master's Degree Programs, Timothy S. Sellnow, Robert S. Littlefield, Deanna D. Sellnow

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article seeks to provide a profile of internships used in communication master's degree programs in the U.S. An internship is defined as receiving graduate credit for practical experience gained outside the classroom, with some degree of supervision by a faculty member. Based upon the data presented, experiential opportunities in communication serve to connect theory and practice. The nature of an internship at the graduate level appears to be more complex than at the undergraduate level. The formal paper appears to be the most common means for evaluating graduate internships. Formal papers are consistently used in academia to measure student …

Encouraging Undergraduate Scholarship: Institutional Strategies, Kevin L. Hutchinson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the various institutional strategies for encouraging undergraduate scholarship in the U.S. The student faculty grants, research stipends and scholarships require that the institution commit financial resources or commit resources to secure financial support from one or more outside agencies through creative grant writing. Suggestions pertaining to Lambda Pi Eta and internal internships probably require the least amount of institutional support. There are two proposed conditions for the research teams concept to be successful. First, there must be a commitment by all faculty to engage in research. Second, the faculty research interest must lend itself to collaborative research.

A Framework For Surveying Communication Effectiveness In Institutions Of Higher Education, Charmaine E. Wilson, Sandra Hochel

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines a framework for assessing communication effectiveness in higher education in the U.S. In light of cost concerns, most colleges and universities will opt for using internal expertise. This option is particularly feasible for post-secondary institutions in that they are likely to have available in-house expertise needed to conduct an effective assessment. The step of identifying available expertise from communication and other appropriate units is needed to gain broad expertise and multiple perspectives, avoid attributions of private agendas, and encourage units under analysis to view the process as a community effort. The assessing committee will want to set …

Safe Places, Fair Practices, Trust: Sexual Harassment In Communication And Theatre, Robert J. Wills

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the role of school administrators in addressing sexual harassment in theater and communication programs. On college and university campuses, by and large, men have power. Women on campus by and large trust these men who have power. The trust in such a relationship is precious, built over time through consistency, responsiveness and mutual concerns. Sexual harassment breaks that trust, destroys it completely, and in the process wounds those who are involved. The 9 to 5 organization has concluded that a strong policy is the best way to combat sexual harassment. A written policy easily becomes both the …

Oral English Proficiency Requirements For Itas In U. S. Colleges And Universities: An Issue In Speech Communication, Robert C. Dick, Brenda M. Robinson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the nature and extent of oral English proficiency training that international teaching assistants (ITA) need for their faculty and staff roles in U.S. colleges and universities. In surveys of campuses in the Illinois system, the most frequent single complaint among undergraduates was that the ITA had language problems which interfered with the students' comprehension of classroom material. The Test of English As a Foreign Language (TOEFL) has been in existence since 1964, assessing the English usage of English-as-a-second-language students applying for admission to colleges and universities. The Test of Spoken Language, designed by the Educational Testing Service, …

Alternative Career Opportunities, Or, Don't Sell Yourself Short!, David Balthrop

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article will attempt to discuss who is making an attempt to prepare their students for work outside of the field of study; pose the question of whose responsibility is it for preparing those students: faculty, universities and colleges, or the students themselves. In a survey sent out to all colleges and universities in Kentucky, only a small percentage (fewer than 3%) of the surveys returned acknowledged any help in the form of organized, structured post-graduation job opportunity discussions. All the forms returned indicated that the students wanted and needed that type of instruction. In order to locate other job …

To Be Young, Gifted, And Out Of Work, Mark Malinauskas

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses job search strategy. Devising a job hunting strategy may be the hardest work you do in your entire career. The most immediate task is the creation of a personal inventory. You should be honest and identify your real strengths. These will be incorporated into your resume when you are ready to construct it. The attributes most employers seek to identify in applicants are the following: (1) A burning desire to learn and grow; (2) A brute determination to succeed; (3) A natural ability to get along with people; (4) Talent for persuading others; (5) An affinity for …

Alternative Assessment In Speech Communication, Ellen A. Hay

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article aims to promote alternative assessment in the field of speech communication. Speech communication departments in a number of colleges and universities have adopted alternative practices as they have developed their assessment programs. For example, the faculty at the University of Missouri-Kansas City examined and redesigned their curriculum so that students were required to show competence in interpersonal communication, critical thinking, language use, leadership, reading, research, public speaking, cultural appreciation, writing, decision making, theoretical understanding, and ethical/philosophical appreciation. Clearly, developing and implementing alternative assessment strategies is time consuming and costly. First, alternative assessment more fully meets the demand for …

Applying Communication Studies In Hong Kong, John Lee Jellicorse

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

The article discusses the trends in communication education in Hong Kong, China. Since communication is labor intensive, the need for personnel is swelling rapidly. Obviously, academic institutions in the region are faced with a tremendous challenge to encompass these developments. The School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist is attempting to meet the challenge. Hong Kong Baptist College, then a small, private diploma granting institution funded primarily from tuition fees, initiated its first program in communication. During the crucial period of its maturation from a diploma program to a degree course, the communication curriculum at Hong Kong Baptist was administered …

More Self-Evident Truths For Departmental Governance, James E. Sayer

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article provides some thoughts about the pitfalls and problems associated with the lowest-level of academic administration. If nothing else, service as department chair can open the eyes to the real world of petty faculty politics in a way unknown and unseen by a regular faculty member. Finally, a new department chairperson must be aware that every move made on behalf of the department, every decision rendered, regardless of its mundane nature, will be scrutinized by colleagues for selfish intent. Graduate school does not prepare a person for service as departmental chairperson, nor do years of service as a regular …

Mass Communication Education: A Plastic Rolex?, Tim Hamlett

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses several aspects of mass communication education in the U.S. during the 1990s. According to professor J. M. McCall, communication educators should be telling communication professionals three things. The first is that academics do know what the profession requires. The second is that knowing perfectly well what the profession requires, the academics have decided not to provide it. The third observation is that there is no place in a university for that kind of education, which is trade skills and vocational training. McCall's case for change rest on two pillars: university politics and finances; and media studies in …
