I am excited to be here
teaching and learning with you. I want
you to be able to use the skills learned in this class. I want you to have an exceptional learning
experience during the next 18 weeks. To
this end we must both work to achieve these goals.
Instructional Objectives:
The goals of this class are: (1) to learn to be
comfortable speaking in front of peers,
(2) to be to recognize the underlying forces that control how we
communicate, (3) to understand the power structures found in public speaking,
and (4) to develop the ability to use
communication as a way of empowering you.
In compliance with equal
access laws, I am available to discuss appropriate academic accommodations that
you may require as a student with a disability.
Request for academic accommodations need to be made during the first
week of the semester, except for unusual circumstances, so arrangements can be
made. Students are encouraged to
register with the Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSP&S) for
disability verification and for determination of reasonable academic
accommodations. (755-6760)
Requirements: Come to class!
Be open to learning and allowing me to facilitate
your learning.
Come prepared to work during class.
Read the text, you have spent money on it, use it!!
Grading: There will be four parts to the grading process:
(1)
at least four speeches
50% of grade,
(2)
outlines and a video tape are required for
each speech on the day of the speech (included in the speech grade)
(3)
at least 3
tests 30% of grade (if you miss a test I reserve the right to allow
you to make it up but you must come and talk to me about it first)
(4)
online work
turned in over the e-mail system. You
will do each chapter quiz on line (you need an e-mail account and web access,
if you do not have this talk to me) 15%
of grade,
(5)
homework will
be assigned weekly and turned in at the beginning of the next week 5% of
grade
Understandings: We are adults and I recognize our children, work, and
crazy life will interfere with this class.
Keep this to a minimum. Please
come and talk to me about any problems. I reserve the right to drop any student
who has missed more than the college stipulated number of absences for the
class. If you are going to drop the class it is your responsibility to get the
correct forms filled out from Admissions and Records. We are adults and we will work quickly. If I am going too fast or miss steps for you
let me know. Do not be shy in this
class.
