Closeouts In Communication Courses: The Students’ Perspective, Judy C. Pearson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Student perspectives on course access problems are examined in relation to communication courses facing high demand and limited instructional resources. The article reports student responses to possible remedies for overenrollment, including enrollment limits, large lectures, small performance sections, graduate teaching assistants, undergraduate assistants, reduced performances, mediated instruction, and priority registration for majors. The findings suggest that students were willing to accept some structural changes, especially large lectures paired with small performance sections, greater use of graduate assistants, media support, and priority for majors. However, students resisted eliminating performance work, relying on undergraduate assistants, or reducing personal attention from faculty. The …

What Do Some Of The Leading Journals And Yearbooks Tell Us About The Field?, Ed Mcluskie Apr 1984

What Do Some Of The Leading Journals And Yearbooks Tell Us About The Field?, Ed Mcluskie

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines what leading communication journals and yearbooks suggest about the field’s conceptual understanding of communication. It considers whether recent published research offers a general definition of communication or instead focuses on specialized topics without connecting them to an overall conception of the field. The article describes a content analysis of selected association publications and classifies articles as generic, partial, or outside the phenomenon of communication. It finds that most published work addresses limited areas of inquiry or methodological concerns rather than broad conceptual definitions. The article situates these findings within debates about communication research, disciplinary identity, and the …

The discussion distinguishes classroom and campus production work from peer reviewed creative activity, then considers several ways to document artistic achievement. These include publication about creative practice, professional work beyond the university, and structured outside review of campus productions. The article situates artistic evaluation within communication administration by stressing clear standards, …
