Test: Meyers & Briggs Personality Profile (purchased in the bookstore)
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 in
interpersonal and small group speaking situations, 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.
Requirements: Come to
class! Be open to learning and allowing
me to facility your learning. Come
prepared to work during class. Do your homework and turn it in on time. Read
the text, you have spent a lot of money on it, use it!!
Grading: There will
be four parts to the grading process:
(1)
three speeches 30% of
grade,
(2)
at least 4 tests 40% 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),
(3)
weekly writing 20% of grade,
(4)
homework
and chapter quizzes 10% of grade.
All
work will be typed, labeled and written at the college level. Plagiarism is not acceptable.
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
you from the class if you miss more than the college allowed number of
absences. If you are going to drop the class it is your
responsibility to get the correct forms filled out at Admissions and
Records. Also, as we are adults, 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.
Final
exam weekly schedule is different than the rest of the semester. Please check your catalogue. My exams require the full 3 hours so tell
your employer and do not expect to take the exam early.
