Interdepartmental 108 - The Art of Effective Speaking

This one-credit course gives students systematic practice in the range of public speaking challenges they face in their academic and professional careers. During each class meeting, the instructor presents material on an aspect of speech craft and delivery; each student then gives a presentation reflecting her mastery of that week’s material. The instructor films each student’s presentations and reviews them in individual conferences. During one class meeting, the students also review and analyze films of notable speeches. 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." Seniors only. Enrollment limited to 10.
