A basic speech communication course for community college technical career students: A structural design

Abstract

ROY BERKO Lorain County (Ohio) Community CollegeTraditional structural designs of the basic speech communication course have not met the professional needs of the technical career student. The alternative model presented in this essay will enable the student to pursue, through independent study and small group interaction, those concepts and skills which will aid her/him professionally. This design offers solutions to staffing and scheduling problems faced by community colleges, and provides a structural format for facilitating the education of technical career students.
