Content
of Course
In this
course, we will study different types of speech communication and focus on
improving your communication skills. A quick glance at the syllabus shows you
the range of topics we will explore--we will do much more than just make formal
speeches, though we will do that as well. Although we use a textbook and will do
some written work, this course is primarily a performance class, one in which
active, appropriate participation is required.

Note:
This syllabus is flexible and subject to change. The amount of time needed for
the class to complete chapters and each round of speeches is difficult to
predict. Stay alert in class for precise dates for assignments.
