Test: Meyers
& Briggs Self Scoring 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 6 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! The summer session is very fast. Be
open to learning and allowing me to facilitate 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 3
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 assignments 20% of grade,
(4)
weekly homework
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
collage allowed limit. If you are going
to drop the class it is your responsibility to get the correct forms filled out
you 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.
