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 five 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 4 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.
