Oral Communication includes effective presentation skills, the ability to persuade, motivate, inspire, teach, react, and the ability to listen well. Television offers myriad examples of speakers. This course utilizes the medium for visual "proof" using cameras and microphones to videotape students for instant feedback, self-appraisal and motivation and employs a team approach for peer evaluation. This is a basic speech course incorporating skills of the media age: sound-bites, correct visual support, appropriate dress, body language and eye contact, speeches of persuasion, exposition demonstration, and motivation.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
