Empirical Needles In Curricular Haystacks: Finding Research Opportunities In A Small College Program, David Droge
Empirical Needles In Curricular Haystacks: Finding Research Opportunities In A Small College Program, David Droge
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines the structural and cultural conditions that limit research activity in small college communication programs and outlines strategies for generating empirical research opportunities within such environments. It identifies heavy teaching loads, extensive service commitments, limited institutional support, and the dominance of introductory oral communication courses as primary barriers to sustained scholarly engagement. These constraints reduce time for research, inhibit collaboration with disciplinary peers, and restrict access to adequate computing and funding resources. In response, the article describes four strategies developed to integrate research into routine academic responsibilities. The first involves embedding empirical projects within existing seminars and creating …
Speech Communication Departments And The College Of Character, Roger Smitter
Speech Communication Departments And The College Of Character, Roger Smitter
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay examines the role of speech communication programs within undergraduate liberal arts institutions and argues that their long term vitality depends on articulating a clear connection between communication study and the distinctive character of each college. The discussion responds to broader critiques of undergraduate education that identify fragmentation, excessive professionalism, and a diminished sense of intellectual coherence as threats to the liberal arts. The essay outlines several guiding questions for departments seeking to define or strengthen their educational mission. These include clarifying why communication belongs in the liberal arts, identifying principles that organize a coherent curriculum, and determining how …
The Small College Environment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza
The Small College Environment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay analyzes the distinctive characteristics that shape the work of faculty in small college communication programs. It argues that the small college environment differs from larger institutions not only in scale but in fundamental qualitative ways that influence teaching, organizational structures, and professional expectations. The discussion identifies four interrelated features of this environment: a primary institutional emphasis on teaching, the expectation that faculty assume multiple roles and responsibilities, the predominance of informal communication channels, and strong institutional loyalty. The essay explains how these conditions shape faculty experiences, including the need to function as generalists, the challenges of replacement hiring, …
Developing An Anglo-American Communication Program, Terence Jackson
Developing An Anglo-American Communication Program, Terence Jackson
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay analyzes the development of an American style communication program within a British educational context. It begins by describing the structure of further and higher education in England and Wales and explains how traditions of vocational training and liberal education intersect within these systems. The discussion outlines the limited presence of communication as an academic field in Britain, noting that research in interpersonal, organizational, and mass communication exists but remains dispersed across sociology, psychology, and management. The essay then examines the challenges of creating a comprehensive communication curriculum at Warnborough College, including the scarcity of disciplinary resources, limited availability …

Speech/Language Pathology And Audiology: A Justifiable Anomaly Within A College Of Arts And Sciences?, Fred D. Minifie
Speech/Language Pathology And Audiology: A Justifiable Anomaly Within A College Of Arts And Sciences?, Fred D. Minifie
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay defends the place of speech language pathology and audiology within colleges of arts and sciences by arguing that the discipline’s academic legitimacy derives from its scientific study of human communication rather than its professional training functions. The author traces tensions between broad liberal arts missions and programs perceived as narrowly vocational, noting that clinical training alone cannot justify departmental status in a university setting. Instead, the field’s essential contribution lies in advancing knowledge about normal and disordered communication and in grounding clinical practice in research based understanding. The discussion critiques programs that emphasize service delivery at the expense …
The Student Perspective On Evaluating Teaching Effectiveness, Donald H. Wulff, Ann Q. Staton-Spicer, Carla W. Hess, Jody D. Nyquist
The Student Perspective On Evaluating Teaching Effectiveness, Donald H. Wulff, Ann Q. Staton-Spicer, Carla W. Hess, Jody D. Nyquist
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines student perceptions of teaching evaluation methods by comparing end of course student ratings with the Small Group Instructional Diagnosis procedure. Using data from 140 undergraduates in communication courses, the study analyzes Likert scale responses and open ended comments to assess the perceived importance, uses, and preferred formats of evaluation. Factor analysis indicates that students view teaching evaluation as important but express uncertainty about how results are used and whether instructors act on feedback. Students favored methods that allow written comments, provide opportunities to offer constructive suggestions, and ensure anonymity. They identified weaknesses in end of course ratings, …
Theatre As A Liberal Art, Gladys M. Crane
Theatre As A Liberal Art, Gladys M. Crane
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay argues that theatre belongs centrally within the liberal arts because it is a humanizing discipline rooted in the interpretation of human action. Theatre is presented as an eclectic art that synthesizes visual, spatial, aural, and temporal forms, while requiring analytical, interpretive, and integrative judgment throughout the production process. The discussion emphasizes that theatrical creation engages imagination, creativity, and critical evaluation as students move from script analysis to design, rehearsal, and performance. Because theatre draws on psychology, sociology, history, and ethics, the study of plays and characters demands sustained reflection on values, cultural contexts, and human motivation. The essay …
In Defense Of Mass Communication As A Liberal Art, Robert K. Tiemens
In Defense Of Mass Communication As A Liberal Art, Robert K. Tiemens
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay defends mass communication as a legitimate component of the liberal arts and responds to criticisms both from outside and within the communication discipline. The author argues that mass communication courses address fundamental questions about the social, political, and cultural influence of media and therefore extend far beyond technical training. The discussion emphasizes that liberal education requires understanding how mediated symbols shape public life and contends that studying the effects, practices, and history of broadcasting aligns directly with liberal arts aims. The essay also notes that accrediting standards already require a strong ratio of liberal arts coursework for mass …
Under And Over The Hill, Peter Garvie
Under And Over The Hill, Peter Garvie
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay reflects on the problem of faculty who have become unproductive, disengaged, or resistant to change and considers how academic communities perceive and respond to such colleagues. Through an extended narrative and metaphorical analysis, the author distinguishes between those who have not yet reached professional maturity, those who have declined after earlier achievement, and those whose self perception is disconnected from their actual performance. The essay examines institutional tendencies to tolerate or obscure persistent non productivity, often due to bureaucratic structures that make intervention difficult. Drawing on metaphors of light, shadow, perception, and psychological projection, the author explores how …
