COM204 Public Speaking for the Professional

3 credit(s)
This course is designed to awaken, nurture and empower you to use public speaking to change the world.  Yes, we really mean it. Your “voice” is important! This course provides opportunities for you to create, present, and evaluate public speaking to better prepare you to be a voice for the voiceless. You will learn from each other, engage in civil dialogue, improve your listening skills, prepare for social media/online contexts, and become steeped in the theories, research, and history of the Communication discipline. Topics will include basic research, message composition, speech preparation, managing communication apprehension, logic, audience analysis, vocal delivery, listening, non-verbal communication, speech criticism, small group communication, and communication processes. These topics will be applied to a variety of contemporary settings of cultural and social significance.
