Abstract
The basic course continues to emphasize the public speaking and performance dimensions with enrollment in the course increasing at a rate generally equal to or greater than the institution in which it is taught. Junior faculty and graduate teaching assistants continue to be the primary teachers. Major instructional concerns continue to be class size and sufficient time to cover course content.Keywords
