Mbo: Faculty Evaluation And Development, Betty Jo Welch

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the adoption of management by objectives as a system for faculty evaluation and development in higher education, situating the approach within broader pressures for accountability that intensified from the 1970s into the 1980s. The author argues that MBO offers a means to preserve faculty autonomy and academic values while meeting demands for documented performance and clear standards. Drawing on the speech communication program at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, the article outlines key components of the model, including shared goal setting, measurable expectations for teaching, research, and service, and structured annual review and planning processes. …

When The Faculty Evaluate The Chairperson, Mary Frances Hopkins

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article provides a reflective account of being evaluated as a department chair by a large and diverse faculty across three communication units at Louisiana State University. The author critiques the mandated evaluation instrument, noting dissatisfaction with rating scales and skepticism about their ability to measure administrative performance accurately. The narrative situates the evaluation within the complex structure of the department, where unit chairs hold responsibility for many functions on which the department chair was nevertheless evaluated. Despite concerns about the appropriateness of the instrument, the author reports supportive results attributed to strong faculty goodwill amid departmental restructuring. The discussion …

Integrity In The Communication Curriculum, Stanley F. Paulson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This address argues that recent national reports on undergraduate education have identified fundamental weaknesses in collegiate learning, shifting emphasis from curricular inputs to measurable student outcomes. Drawing on documents from the National Institute of Education and the Association of American Colleges, the discussion highlights concerns about declining student engagement in the arts and sciences, fragmentation of general education, and the absence of coherent rationales guiding undergraduate study. These reports call for institutions to demonstrate improvement in students’ analytical abilities, communication skills, ethical reasoning, and disciplinary depth across the curriculum rather than rely on proxies such as faculty credentials or course …

Curricula, Budgets, And Facilities In Education For Radio And Television, Garland C. Elmore

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reports a national survey of undergraduate programs emphasizing radio and television, describing curricular organization, resource levels, and facilities across institutions in the mid nineteen eighties. Based on responses from one hundred ninety four departments, the study finds that most programs are housed within integrated communication units rather than autonomous media departments, with larger campuses more likely to maintain separate media structures. Undergraduate majors total more than forty thousand nationwide, with higher concentrations at large public institutions. Introductory offerings vary widely in title and scope, reflecting production, writing, history, theory, and survey orientations. Nearly half of departments offer graduate …

A Microsequenced Prolog Inference Engine, Jeffrey J. Ferguson

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Prolog is a symbolic logic language presently emerging among numerous expert system designs. The architecture for a microsequenced Prolog machine (UPM) capable of providing the basic language features to a host computer is proposed. The Prolog machine functions are portioned into three processor components – Input/Output, Memory, and Central (CPU), where the design of the Central Processor is emphasized. Detailed discussion outlines the CPU facilities used to implement the forward-chaining and backtracking functions for the UPM. The UPM features are compared to the PLM-1, a microsequenced Prolog inference engine under development at University of California, Berkley. An emulation of the …

A Pool Boiling Map: Water On A Horizontal Surface At Atmospheric Pressure, O. Burr. Osborn

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to develop a boiling map for liquid water at an atmospheric pressure. The map indicates the type of pool boiling phenomenon will initially occur in terms of the bulk temperature of the liquid and the interfacial contact temperature. The geometry studied was that of a flat horizontal plate with boiling incipient from the upward facing surface.

Previous analytical and experimental studies have been conducted concerning pool boiling. Several of these studies are summarized in this thesis and it is seen that there are gaps and limitations in the existing state of knowledge. Therefore, further …
