THE 205 - Effective Public Speaking (2 Cr.)(Formerly THE 105)
This project-based course helps students develop as effective public communicators in person and in media. Working from a fundamental understanding of how traditional public speaking works, students will analyze public communication problems, and then identify, design and produce appropriate strategies to address those problems. Issues such as how to communicate with an increasingly diverse audience, and how to approach controversial topics will be addressed. An emphasis will be on effective communication with and through a variety of media platforms. Other skills include critical listening, effective vocal production, speaking persuasively and with authority, research strategies, presentation technique and rhetoric. Prerequisite: sophomore standing or permission of the instructor. Fall semester, repeated spring semester. Curry.
