Abstract
The basic course has changed its orientation substantially in the past five years moving toward a more pronounced public‐speaking emphasis with increased attention to performance activities and instruction based on topics which stress the return to public speaking. Growth is greater than that of either the department or the institution, but the course is staffed with a greater percentage of graduate teaching assistants and junior faculty than five years ago.Keywords
