Speech 1 Course Description
Public Speaking is a hands-on practical class that provides an introduction to the theory, basic principles, and methods of effective public speaking. In this class, we emphasize development and delivery of speeches and presentation to be delivered in front of an audience. Further, we focus on rhetorical analysis of speeches and arguments.
I believe that true learning only comes about when everyone is involved and interested in the material being presented. Our class will consist of a combination of lectures, discussions, group activities, projects, and speeches. Through constructive feedback, we will all have the opportunity to teach and help each other. I encourage you to use this course to explore and broaden your world view. Challenge yourself and explore issues that matter to you. Monday, Aug 3rd
