Use Of Departmental Review As Part Of The Assessment Process, James H. Mcbath Apr 1990

Use Of Departmental Review As Part Of The Assessment Process, James H. Mcbath

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines departmental review as a central instrument in outcomes assessment for higher education communication programs. Situating the practice within escalating legislative accreditation and board level accountability, it traces common anxieties that reviews may prompt program closure or reconfiguration. Through case analysis, this article identifies pitfalls arising from unclear objectives, partial data, and uneven participation, and then articulates two guiding principles: evaluation must rest on transparent standards and on evidence grounded in disciplinary knowledge. The discussion links evaluation criteria curriculum adequacy faculty quality resource allocation and graduate performance, with attention to external audiences who often misunderstand communication studies. Concluding …


Communication Competency Assessment Of Non-Traditional Students, Judith K. Litterst Apr 1990

Communication Competency Assessment Of Non-Traditional Students, Judith K. Litterst

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article advocates prior learning assessment as a systematic avenue for validating communication competency among nontraditional undergraduates. It situates the rationale in demographic data showing the growth of adult learners and discusses the life centered orientation of adult education. The narrative details a flexible assessment model that distinguishes experiential learning from classroom instruction, specifies generic learning outcomes across public speaking interpersonal and small group contexts, and deploys multimethod evaluation including diagnostic interviews portfolios objective theory examinations and performance tests. Guidelines address faculty training screening procedures instrument reliability and articulation of credit waiver or advanced placement options. By integrating experiential validation …

Media And Ideology, Neil Postman Jan 1990

Media And Ideology, Neil Postman

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article conceptualizes media ecology as an analytical lens for understanding how successive communication technologies generate ideology, shaping language, cognition, and social organization. Integrating systems thought, Marxist materialism, and time space analysis, it traces transformations from the typographic revolution to contemporary television and computer environments. Case illustrations ranging from monastic clocks and the printing press to satellite linked financial markets reveal that each medium reconfigures cultural values such as individuality, privacy, rational discourse, and civic participation. The discussion underscores the responsibility of communication administrators to anticipate technological biases, cultivate critical literacy, and adapt curricula amid accelerating digital change. Concluding with …

An Apology For The Ph.D. Degree In Theatre: A Personal Retrospective, David W. Addington Oct 1989

An Apology For The Ph.D. Degree In Theatre: A Personal Retrospective, David W. Addington

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article offers a personal, historically grounded defense of the PhD in theatre, contextualizing its erosion amid the ascendance of the Master of Fine Arts and changing higher education policy. Through narrative reflection, it documents the decline of doctoral programs, administrative neglect, and labor market contraction, then contrasts the scholarly rigor, disciplinary identity, and research oriented training of the PhD with the practice centered MFA. The discussion maps comprehensive curricular demands, foreign language proficiency, and dissertation requirements onto professional pathways, demonstrating how such breadth cultivates critical theory literacy, historiographic competence, and instructional versatility. Examining technological advances, demographic shifts, and renewed …

Changing Patterns In Higher Education: Implications For The Administration Of Departments, Dennis S. Gouran Apr 1989

Changing Patterns In Higher Education: Implications For The Administration Of Departments, Dennis S. Gouran

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the state of instructional communication within the discipline and argues for a more integrated and theoretically grounded approach to its study. It examines how instructional communication has developed largely in isolation from broader communication theory and suggests that greater cross-fertilization with related research areas could enrich both scholarship and practice. Key issues discussed include the relationship between communication theory and pedagogy, the need for systematic study of teacher-student interaction, and the potential benefits of applying concepts from small group communication and persuasion research to instructional contexts. The piece emphasizes the importance of refining conceptual frameworks, conducting rigorous …

Reconstruction Of Transform-Coded Images By Entropy Methods, Nicolaos S. Tzannes, Michael A. Tzannes, John Bodenschatz Ii Jan 1989

Reconstruction Of Transform-Coded Images By Entropy Methods, Nicolaos S. Tzannes, Michael A. Tzannes, John Bodenschatz Ii

Faculty Bibliography 1980s

A new, universal approach to reconstructing transform-coded images is proposed. The method views the images as a probability mass function (pmf), allowing the retained coefficients of a transform (Karhunen-Loeve, discrete cosine, slant, etc.) to be thought of as averages of the basis functions over the pmf. This sets the stage for reconstructing the original images by using the maximum entropy principle (MEP) and the minimum relative entropy principle (MREP) with the retained coefficients as constraints in the extremizations. A formulation combining the two methods is also proposed, resulting in a reconstruction algorithm that is fast, proceeding in an iterative way …

The Shift From Emphasis In Public Communication In Rhetorical Studies, Waldo W. Braden Oct 1988

The Shift From Emphasis In Public Communication In Rhetorical Studies, Waldo W. Braden

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques the expansion of rhetorical studies from a focus on public address to the broader category of public communication. It reviews how rhetorical scholarship has increasingly embraced non-traditional subjects such as films, music, literature, and popular culture, moving away from orality and the analysis of individual speeches. Drawing on a survey of recent issues of the Quarterly Journal of Speech, the discussion finds that most published work concentrated on movements, themes, or philosophical issues rather than close studies of contemporary speakers or specific texts. While acknowledging the intellectual breadth gained by this shift, the article warns that such …
