Speech 100 - ART OF EFFECTIVE SPEAKING

This one-credit course will give students systematic practice in the range of public speaking challenges they will face in their academic and professional careers. During each class meeting, the instructor will present material on an aspect of speech craft and delivery; each student will then give a presentation reflecting her mastery of that week's material. The instructor videotapes each student's presentations and reviews them in individual conferences. During on class meeting, the students will also review and analyze videotapes of notable speeches. Classes will be held for six weeks of the semester, beginning on a date to be determined. Conferences will be scheduled separately. Students must come to the first class prepared to deliver a 3 to 5 minute speech of introduction: 'Who I Am and Where I?m Going'. Students also need to bring a blank videotape to class. All the speeches students make during class will be recorded on this tape. Enrollment limited to 10 with priority given to seniors.
