Debates between teachers of performance and substantive courses over the proper curriculum in communication studies ignore the fundamental commitments of liberal arts education since Isocrates to unite practical and critical training. By developing students’ talents in critical description, contextualization, and judgment and by teaching rhetorical criticism in a two-tiered curriculum, we can better prepare students for a mature, reasoned life in society. © 1989, Taylor & Francis Group.
