The Well-Turned Word

CEI Workload Study
The charge given the Workload Task Force in October 1995 at the Valle Crucis CEI Fall Conference was to research and make workload recommendations to take effect with semester conversion in fall 1997. This is a reprint of the article published in the CEI Newsletter in 1996. The findings and recommendations are still relevant.

Communication Skills in the Workplace
This article is reprinted from the March 1996 issue of the CEI Newsletter. Instructors may wish to use this document to motivate their students to develop effective communication skills.

Communication Competencies
This article was published in the Fall 1995 issue of the CEI Newsletter. It was submitted to the chief academic officer and the department chair or lead English instructor in each of the 58 community colleges in North Carolina. The information was used by writing teams who developed course syllabi for the Common Course Library. This document is published now by CEI to provide guidance and suggestions for instructors. Instructors may find the competencies and acquisition and assessment strategies useful as they develop course objectives and assignments for their reading, composition, literature, humanities, and speech classes.
