Building Support For The Introductory Oral Communication Course: Strategies For Widespread And Enduring Support On Campus, Jon A. Hess Jan 2012

Building Support For The Introductory Oral Communication Course: Strategies For Widespread And Enduring Support On Campus, Jon A. Hess

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

A strong introductory course is important for many communication departments, for the discipline, and for meeting our obligation to society. This paper utilizes the example of a recent curricular reform that threatened to eliminate a required oral communication course to reflect on strategies departments can use to build widespread and lasting support for the course. The paper reviews the events that led to the challenge and details the department’s response, which offers lessons that may be useful for other institutions. Four lessons include: tailoring the introductory course to the institution’s needs and mission, involvement in university work, making compelling use …

The Effect Of Recruitment Messages On Undergraduate Beliefs About The Communication Major: A Quasi-Experiment, Eric B. Meiners, Karen L. Rudick Jan 2012

The Effect Of Recruitment Messages On Undergraduate Beliefs About The Communication Major: A Quasi-Experiment, Eric B. Meiners, Karen L. Rudick

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

Despite the importance of attracting talented and qualified undergraduates into the major, the subject of recruitment for communication has received little attention. This study examines the effectiveness of a one-shot informative recruitment message on students’ beliefs and attitudes toward the communication major. As part of a quasi-experiment using a Solomon four-group design, two upper-division majors presented recruitment presentations addressing the benefits of, and misconceptions toward, the major to 130 students enrolled in introductory public speaking classes. Post-tests revealed that students exposed to the message reported significantly more favorable attitudes toward communication than those who had not seen a presentation (n …

A Sense Of Belonging: New Technologies' Effect On Recruitment Practices Of Graduate Programs, Elizabeth Dorrance Hall, Emily C. Simmons

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

College recruiting has changed drastically as a result of new technology such as interactive Web sites, blogs, social media, and on-line videos. This study surveyed 144 college undergraduates about their attitudes and interests in enrolling in their institution’s graduate program as well as different types of recruitment technology. Video, printed handouts, and Web sites, were explored to assess their effectiveness as recruitment tools and discover how views of effectiveness are constructed. The study found video is perceived as the most interactive and influential recruitment tool and Web sites are the most credible, trustworthy, and user-friendly recruitment tool. This study allowed …

Assessment As A Scholarship Of Teaching, Judith K. Litterst, Paula Tompkins Jan 2001

Assessment As A Scholarship Of Teaching, Judith K. Litterst, Paula Tompkins

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the position of academic institutions on the need for continued commitment to assessment and at the same time deals with strong faculty sentiment on the subject. The article proposes to re-conceptualize assessment activity as a scholarly process whose products make a contribution to the broader conversation about teaching and learning in higher education. In making a case for this rightful elevation of assessment activity by members of the academy, it will first show that assessment is not service, but scholarship. Second, it will discuss assessment as a legitimate form of research that meets both the definition and …

Students' Perceptions Of Part-Time And Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty: Accessibility, Mentoring, And Extra-Class Communication, Amy M. Bippus, Catherine F. Brooks, Timothy G. Plax, Patricia Kearney

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines students' perceptions of teacher accessibility and mentoring ability, as well as students' likelihood of pursuing extra-class communication (ECC) with their instructors, as related to teacher employment status. The article begins with an overview of differences between part-time and tenured/tenure-track faculty members, with particular attention to how these differences may impact students' perceptions of instructors' accessibility. It then addresses the mentoring relationship between students and faculty, and discuss how faculty employment status may affect students' beliefs that they will receive useful mentoring from their instructors. Finally, the article introduces the construct of ECC and explores how faculty employment …


Hostile Work Environment: What Communication Administrators And Educators Can Learn From Communication-Based Law, Craig Newburger Jan 2001

Hostile Work Environment: What Communication Administrators And Educators Can Learn From Communication-Based Law, Craig Newburger

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the university sexual harassment policies which guides communication administrators in reacting to and managing both student and faculty sexual harassment-based allegations. The body of sexual harassment-based law, created and disseminated by persons who are not communication administrators or educators, focuses directly on specific human communication behaviors and assigns criteria for evaluating the relative lawfulness of the behaviors. The article intends to underscore the variety of heuristic possibilities offered by inquiry into communication-based laws, for both communication administrators and educators.
