Honors College 493AH - S- PublicSpeaking/Career&Rsrch

This class will teach students the basic skills necessary to give engaging, effective, content-rich presentations in a variety of contexts, including research presentations, job interviews, and professional interactions. It will focus on optimizing presentation length, content structure (openings, body, closings), body language, enunciation, moods, pacing, audience-interaction (asking questions, taking questions), props and audio-visual aids. Students will learn by doing and, therefore, be expected to give parts of presentations or presentations frequently. Students will be trained to construct and give effective presentations to academic and professional audiences.

This course is open to Senior & Junior Commonwealth Honors College students only.
