Grading Policy And Student Retention, Ralph R. Behnke, Chris R. Sawyer, Paul E. King Jan 1999

Grading Policy And Student Retention, Ralph R. Behnke, Chris R. Sawyer, Paul E. King

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discuses two policies that work at cross purposes to one another which university administrators and faculty works collaboratively with. Schools are actively resisting grade inflation trends while at the same time seeking to retain students. The article describes the borderline student, a category of at risk student often overlooked, yet numerous. It is found that academic performance was the highest ranked risk factor, accounting for approximately 20% of the variance, while behavior and coping skills was a distant second, accounting for only 6% of the risk factor variance. Borderline students can be efficiently rescued with modest outlays of …

Strategic Planning For A Communication Department: Process And Promise, Catherine Konsky Jan 1999

Strategic Planning For A Communication Department: Process And Promise, Catherine Konsky

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of planning, most notably strategic planning, and describes a process for developing a department strategic plan by involving the entire faculty in its creation. Principles of business planning and small group communication are joined to address academic department planning needs. Moreover, planning needs to capitalize on the essential soft information lacking in separate groups of planners such as planning departments frequently used in business settings. Soft information refers to experiential knowledge that comes, in this case, from faculty, doing the job as opposed to relying on the numerical data that drive many business …

Departmental Excellence: Constituencies In Tension, Ronald C. Arnett, Janie M. Harden Fritz Jan 1999

Departmental Excellence: Constituencies In Tension, Ronald C. Arnett, Janie M. Harden Fritz

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the question of departmental excellence within historicity and temporality and the political demands of multiple constituencies. If one accepts excellence as a rhetorical construct of political significance for a college campus, then one requires knowledge of the primary constituencies shaping this political debate. The eventual political outcome is shaped through the interplay of three constituencies: the discipline, the local campus and the larger public. The task for every department that wants to pursue excellence is to know, understand and operate within the hidden curriculum of a campus that socializes faculty to the ongoing mission of that particular …

This article analyzes award winning communication programs. The winners of the Small College Interest Group's Programs of Excellence Award provide directions for achieving centrality and the goals outlined by the National Communication Association Task Force on Advancing the Discipline.

Most have assessment programs in place to maintain this quality. In most cases, they have identified themselves with the mission of their institution through courses and goals.

Faculty And Student Expectations/Perceptions Of The Adviser-Advisee Relationship, Lawrence B. Nadler, Marjorie Keeshan Nadler Jan 1999

Faculty And Student Expectations/Perceptions Of The Adviser-Advisee Relationship, Lawrence B. Nadler, Marjorie Keeshan Nadler

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the importance of the relationship between faculty adviser and advisee. The faculty advising system is one of the principal ways provided for accomplishing improvement in faculty-student interaction. Direct contact with their advisees can benefit students in multiple ways. Contact with professional staff has been associated with increased retention among undergraduate university students. Students also benefit scholastically and affectively from such contact. Faculty and academic institutions also can derive benefits from the adviser-advisee relationship. The quality of the advising relationship is a major contributor to institutional holding power.

Critiques Of Gatekeeping In Scholarly Journals: An Analysis Of Perceptions And Data, Jean Bodon, Larry Powell, Mark Hickson Iii Jan 1999

Critiques Of Gatekeeping In Scholarly Journals: An Analysis Of Perceptions And Data, Jean Bodon, Larry Powell, Mark Hickson Iii

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article analyzes criticisms on the nature and functioning of the editorial boards of communication journals. There are certain elements in the pattern among the critics of journal articles and the journal publishing process. First, they tend to distort what was written in the original article by changing the words, concepts, or ideas. Second, they redefine the parameters of the study they are critiquing. Third, there is sometimes an element of hypocrisy in the critics' attack. However, from the analysis it would appear that editors attempt to maintain balance considering experience in publishing, geographic and institutional affiliation, and gender.

An Investigation Of Audience Receptiveness To Non-Native Teaching Assistants, Eunkyong Lee Yook Jan 1999

An Investigation Of Audience Receptiveness To Non-Native Teaching Assistants, Eunkyong Lee Yook

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the reliance of U.S. campuses on international teaching assistants (ITA) for staffing undergraduate course and the strategies that may affect ratings of their speaking competence. This increasing reliance has led to student complaints about incomprehensibility of ITA. This problem has been examined by looking through the eyes of the students, administrators and taxpayers. Therefore, the responsibility had been placed on the ITA, whose burden it was to learn the language and culture more fully. The goal of having ITA learn the language and culture better was eclipsing another important issue that needs consideration, the issue of teaching …

Graduate Program Assessment Of Student Satisfaction: A Method For Merging University And Department Outcomes, Jeremy H. Lipschultz, Michael L. Hilt Jan 1999

Graduate Program Assessment Of Student Satisfaction: A Method For Merging University And Department Outcomes, Jeremy H. Lipschultz, Michael L. Hilt

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article evaluates a communication graduate program based upon the perceptions of alumni satisfaction. The department's assessment plan was utilized to measure their perceived knowledge of theory and research, as well as feelings about career preparation. The results indicate that assessment measures related to content taught may be linked to perceptions about quality, flexibility and facilities in a graduate program. Educational outcomes will continue to be an important issue for communication educators. It is critical that assessment data be collected, interpreted and used to revise curriculum in order to be responsive to needs. By doing this, communication programs will be …

Employer Expectations Of Newly-Hired Communication Graduates, D. F. Treadwell, Jill B. Treadwell Jan 1999

Employer Expectations Of Newly-Hired Communication Graduates, D. F. Treadwell, Jill B. Treadwell

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines employers' expectations and perceptions of communication new hires at three points in the school-to-work transition, the initial job application, and the beginning and the end of the first year. This study focuses on writing and related conceptual abilities because for most communication new hires they are the foundation of both a successful job application, and therefore employers' first impressions, and of subsequent performance evaluations and progress. In conclusion, broad generalizations about the communication abilities of communication new hires may be unwarranted because performance expectations and the level and types of assessment vary with the type of position, …

Protecting Communication Departments: Reflections On The Nebraska Experience, Lee Ronald, William Seiler Jan 1999

Protecting Communication Departments: Reflections On The Nebraska Experience, Lee Ronald, William Seiler

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article reflects on the vulnerabilities and strengths of communication departments at the University of Nebraska. The relatively small size of communication departments makes them especially vulnerable to administrative budget cutters. For a complex set of reasons, particular disciplines have become defining elements of universities in the U.S. Unfortunately, communication departments have not achieved such status. The professional organizations need to do more than offer the occasional workshop, they ought to make a concerted effort to help communications departments maximize the discipline's opportunity and make the field of communication valuable to students and become ever more essential to the university.

Report Of The Sub-Committee On Advancing The Discipline In The Small Undergraduate College Department, Joseph W. Macdoniels

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article presents the response of a subcommittee of the National Communication Association to a report of the Task Force on Advancing the Discipline concerning small undergraduate college departments. It is essential that departments figure out what the institutional mission is and be very clear on the department mission. Units must come to a clear understanding of the true institutional mission and develop the unit mission accordingly. The subcommittee has identified areas of concern that derive from the task force document and it has stated positions which are intended to alert or inform the small undergraduate college program of pitfalls …

Advancing The Communication Discipline In The Community College Environment, Rhonda Kekke Jan 1999

Advancing The Communication Discipline In The Community College Environment, Rhonda Kekke

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article focuses on the advancement of communication discipline in community colleges across the U.S. Community colleges may or may not have a speech requirement for degree programs. If a community college does not have a speech requirement, or requires speech only or the Associate of Arts degree, there is a chance that it will not have sufficient enrollments or require the services of even one full-time speech instructor. Advancing the communication discipline in our new millennium is going to mean saving the best of what the discipline of speech communication has always meant, while adapting it to an ever-more-complicated …

From Paper To Praxis: Advancing The Discipline In A Small College Environment, Alfred G. Mueller Ii, Delmas S. Crisp Jr. Jan 1999

From Paper To Praxis: Advancing The Discipline In A Small College Environment, Alfred G. Mueller Ii, Delmas S. Crisp Jr.

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article proposes the advancement of communications discipline at a small college in Georgia. In the small liberal arts college, one tends to find many faculty members who have had little or no experience with departments of communication. It is also plausible that some approaches to the study of communication may be deemed unsuitable in a small liberal arts setting. To meet the demands of the millennial technological environment, the dean of the college decided to reexamine the communication major in terms of its scope and function on campus. The proposals for the advancement of the discipline are discussed herein.

The Commonweal In The Heartland: Charles T. Kelly And Iowa's Industrial Army, Ryan James Sprau Jan 1999

The Commonweal In The Heartland: Charles T. Kelly And Iowa's Industrial Army, Ryan James Sprau

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Decades before the 1930s, or the period most Americans refer to as the Great Depression, the United States suffered through one of the worst economic crises in national history. While not as devastating nor as prolonged as the economic disaster that affected the United States in the 1930s, the depression that gripped the nation from 1893 to 1897 forced millions out of work. The Commonweal of Christ, more commonly known as the industrial army movement of 1894, offered one solution to the nation's crippling unemployment problem. Crusade founder Jacob S. Coxey planned to lead the nation's unemployed and discontented into …

The Inherent Irrationality Of Judgment Proofing, Steven L. Schwarcz Jan 1999

The Inherent Irrationality Of Judgment Proofing, Steven L. Schwarcz

Faculty Scholarship

In recent articles in the Yale Law Journal and the Stanford Law Review, Professor Lynn M. LoPucki has sparked much academic discussion arguing that recent developments in corporate law have led to an erosion in the system of corporate liability, such that it might one day prove impotent. LoPucki has argued that transactions such as asset securitizations, sale-leasebacks, and corporate structures in which liabilities are placed in asset-poor subsidiaries are driving this change. One early critic to the LoPucki thesis, Professor James J. White, has argued that empirical data show no evidence of increasing use of judgement proofing techniques. In …
