Course overview: Public Speaking. What does it really mean in the 21st century and why is it still relevant and important? It takes dozens of forms, some you might not have even realized. Some have been with us since ancient times and others are contemporary and still evolving. One thing is certain: there will always be basic need for you to speak and speak well. You will have millions of communication encounters in your lifetime--from formal presentations to social media to impromptu conversations requiring you to persuade someone to listen to you and to take action. This can be extremely unnerving for most and comes naturally for a very few. This interactive class is designed to thoroughly prepare you for all types of public communication that have practical applications and will be useful in the real world. You will also actively participate as observers from the audience point of view. You will gain valuable insight that will help you sharpen and polish your own skills as well as broaden your overall awareness. You will learn how to: --Confront the dreaded speech anxiety and raise your comfort level --Develop your personal style through improved vocal delivery and physical animation --Logically reorganize your thoughts to motivate and persuade --Edit yourself to adapt to the clock, using fewer words/better words --Creatively impart information to engage your audience --Use visuals sparingly, correctly, and effectively --Persuasively support your point of view through weekly dialogue --Convey your passion on a subject to avoid the wooden syndrome --Answer audience questions and address relevant issues in a variety of situations --Understand and critique presentations as an audience member --Be aware that everything you say and do may be on the record --Stop rambling and start connecting every time you speak and communicate Course specifics: You will be called upon to deliver several different types of realistic presentations during the semester. You will be required to provide a hard copy of every assignment to be turned in, even if you dont present on a particular day. At times you will also be asked to critique others presentations and are asked to be fair-minded in your assessments. Also, each week you will also participate in a segment entitled Newsworthy/Cringeworthy-- visible public speakers who have made a positive or negative impression on you in any type of communication. You should come prepared with examples every week and actively engage in discussion. There is not right or wrong here, just your observations and opinions. Special note: There is no required textbook for this class. Therefore, it is imperative that you take complete notes in class every week. Many topics will be covered at a fairly rapid pace. Your weekly attendance is mandatory. If you absolutely cannot attend, you must let me know immediately as it may impact your overall grade. It is your responsibility to seek out a classmate regarding material covered that day. You must still turn in all assignments in a timely manner. Grades: For most assignments you will receive a letter grade: A(excellent), B(very good), C(average), D(poor), F (automatic for any incomplete assignments). Your grades are based upon many factors: mandatory attendance, active participation, periodic written quizzes and understanding of material, personal development & oral delivery, originality and creativity, and overall improvement. The last factor is very important: you are encouraged to make every effort to try during the various projects. Personal progress is important and will be noted. In some isolated cases you will receive a complete for an assignment; I will be very clear up front about grade expectations during each project. You will receive each grade in a timely fashion at the beginning of the next class. Mid-term and final exam presentations will be more heavily weighted. You must complete all assignments on time: no exceptions. A few last words: Some straight-forward rules that will make it easier for everyone: --Be on time. --Complete all assignments on time. --Be original. Be ethical. Be honestalways. --Be fair and open-minded. --Encourage and respect your fellow classmates as they present. --Dont ever hesitate to ask for clarification or direction. --Be aware of whats going on in the world and be prepared to participate in all discussions. You will have fun even as you take this seriously and I promise youll learn techniques that will help you in life every single day during and after Loyola.
