This booklet presents statements of outcomes and competencies in basic entry college level communication courses for both community colleges and 4-year colleges in the state of Illinois. The booklet's first section describes the origins of the project. The aims were to clarify and articulate statewide what was being taught under what headings. The next section first describes the conferences which did just that, and then lists outcome statements/competencies for courses in Fundamentals of Speech Communication and in Interpersonal Communication. The booklet next briefly lists future projects, which include addressing the outcome statements/competencies for the basic courses in Mass Communication and Theatre. Appendixes list committee members and representatives from Illinois colleges. (SR)
