REQUIRED TEXT:
Communicate!
(11th edition) - Verderber & Verderber
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
(from University Bulletin) A broad study of the speaking and
listening experience. Students perform and evaluate their skills. Voice and articulation
and the organization and presentation of ideas are covered.
ABOUT THIS LEADERSHIP STUDIES VERSION OF THE COURSE… As you are probably aware, this is a "Core" course, required
by your major department. However, this particular section is aligned with a special
program: the Business School’s Leadership Institute. Also, from 9/95-5/98,
the leadership students were "the control group" for the
University’s Mobile Computing Pilot Project. Consequently, the primary content and
activities of this course will be the same as experienced by all SHU
students taking Oral Communication; however,
the references, examples, projects, interdisciplinary connections and technologies used in
this class will emphasize the development of leadership and mobile computing capabilities
for professional contexts. It is planned that this
course will make use of a variety of computer technologies, including :
- E-mail ( including submission of some
assignments)
|
- Group Editing of Speech Outlines
|
- Word Processing of
ALL
submissions
|
- Assignments posted via the Course web page (some
backup
listings on Blackboard)
|
- Presentation Graphics (e.g. PowerPoint)
|
- (Credible) Electronic research on Speech Topics
|
- Submission & Annotation of preliminary Presentation
Outlines
|
- Intraclass focused discussions (tent:
via
Blackboard)
|
| |
|
**Your laptops will not be required in class for each
session and in-class usage will be restricted to
class relevant applications only [i.e. no IM, no email, no chat,
restricted notetaking, etc.] . Specific dates will be assigned
[:] , but you are free to have it with you
"just-in-case".
|
| * Of course, there
is a no cell phone usage/no audible pager or alarm/ no electronic
distractions policy for this class.
|
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES FOR "Leadership"
ORAL COMM: (coordinated with School of Business Competency Statement )
1.
to increase your skill in areas of
communication which are particularly influential to leadership effectiveness: e.g.
clear and audience-centered organization , active listening , understanding of
"nonverbals" , interaction dynamics
2. to better understand the effects of using new
technologies in facilitating managerial communication: e.g. message structure,
group interaction, intra-organizational communication.
3. to be able to organize and present material for
effective communication --- in both presentational & interpersonal contexts
4. to develop greater ease and confidence in all types
of oral situations
5. to improve skills of voice and diction:
particularly clearer articulation and increased vocal variety
6. to better understand the entire communication
process (i.e. the underlying components, models and patterns and cultural
influences)
7. to better understand the basic operational dynamics
of work groups (Teams)
8. Also refer to the document:
"Oral Communication: Course Rationale & FAQ's "
.

his/her growth in, and mastery of, both public and interpersonal communication skills.
Consideration will also be given to the completeness and quality exhibited in
all course activities -- both written and oral.
ATTENDANCE AFFECTS GRADE.

RE: COURSE CALENDAR
- (some hints and guidelines)
~
Dr. PLUMMER USES THIS WEBPAGE COURSE
CALENDAR GRID AS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON THE COURSE
ACTIVITIES & ASSIGNMENTS. SOME OF YOUR ASSIGNMENTS/ACTIVITIES/QUIZZES
WILL NEED TO BE ACCESSED THROUGH
OTHER LOCATIONS & THIS CALENDAR GRID WILL CONTAIN LINKS TO
OTHER ONLINE SITES [SUCH
AS BLACKBOARD] . HOWEVER, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MY WEBPAGE & THE COURSE CALENDAR ARE THE PRIMARY COMMUNICATION TOOLS FOR THIS
COURSE. LOOK THERE FIRST. ~
<A>
The incorporation of the laptop computer into
Oral Communication
is being done as a supplement to-- NOT as a
replacement of-- regular oral
interaction and, classroom activities. Although some
additional computer applications may be devised as we go along, this course
primarily consists of in-class, interactive,
face-to-face learning contexts.
- Currently, the course calendar below contains many
of the
specifications for computer usage, as well as the
SUBJECT AREAS , SPEAKING ACTIVITIES , ASSIGNMENT
TOPICS , & READINGS IN THE TEXT.
<B>
Unless
otherwise noted, the reading and speaking assignments are listed
in the grid in the row for the day that they
are DUE. Read carefully. Some
assignments are to be emailed [
+]
; some are
to be submitted in hardcopy [4];
some are to be submitted in class via a file you created
on your laptop
[:],
and some will be completed
orally as classwork.
*
nOTE: FOR EMAILED ASSIGNMENTS, THE
subject line
should indicate your section & should use the EXACT
WORDING AS INDICATED IN THE COURSE CALENDAR.
OTHERWISE IT MAY GET OVERLOOKED IN MY INBOX.
[Any email you send
me is usually "filed" before I actually open & respond to it and
this filing is based on
what is written in the subject line area.
Therefore it is very important that any email you send to me clearly
indicates
your actual
name(not
just user ID),
your
course
section, and the
SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT TITLE
(or if appropriate,
an indication of your reason for emailing.) Without this appropriate
subject line information,
your email may not
be read in a timely way. ]
--
Also,
BECAUSE OF SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS, iF
YOU SHOULD EVER HAVE DIFFICULTY SENDING READABLE ATTACHMENTS, TRY FIRST SAVING
YOUR attached
document
as
"HTML", "RTF"
or
"text"
before SENDING IT.
<C>
Whenever possible, the details of the listed
assignments also will be clarified in class; however, it is the student's
responsibility to anticipate, to look for "posted" updates
{done via e-mail or
web page}, and to be prepared.
<D>
All speaking activities are indicated by a box. Of
these, the MAJOR presentations are indicated by capitals. Throughout the semester,
each MAJOR oral presentation will require the submission of:
|
(1)
a preliminary outline [to the instructor - via
computer]
|
|
(2)
a final/revised outline
[to the instructor - via a"hard copy"]
including bibliography, when required
|
(3) the use of presentation notes/outline
[for the speaker].
|
<E>
***
Internet source citations must
list these 4 items: [1]
URL,
[2]
the Title of the particular Webpage you used,
[3] the
Date that you accessed the page & [4]
(If available) the last date
that the page itself was updated. It
is also recommended that you refer to the
guidelines in the Department of Communication's
Policy
on Academic Honesty
<F>
As mentioned above, there will be few, if any,
opportunities for "make-up" presentations; therefore, the MAJOR presentations
will proceed according to a specific
PRESENTATION
SCHEDULE.
This schedule will list the assigned dates for
speakers, evaluators, and tape recorder operators. The
schedule will be "published" via a link to your course
calendar as well as to a shortcut on my web page
at least one day before the presentations begin.
if
possible, a copy also will be posted on my office door. Consequently, students
always are expected to be
prepared to speak on their assigned date-- -NO EXCEPTIONS **mISSED
PRESENTATIONS WILL DEFAULT TO THE: FINALS
WEEK / BRING-YOUR-OWN-AUDIENCE/ APPOINTMENT-ONLY
PROCEDURE
and the opportunity to make up such missed
presentations cannot be guaranteed.**
<G>
Also, refer to the key of symbols at the end of the
calendar.

REQUIRED TEXT:
Communicate!
(11th edition) - Verderber & Verderber
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
(from University Bulletin) A broad study of the speaking and
listening experience. Students perform and evaluate their skills. Voice and articulation
and the organization and presentation of ideas are covered.
ABOUT THIS LEADERSHIP STUDIES VERSION OF THE COURSE… As you are probably aware, this is a "Core" course, required
by your major department. However, this particular section is aligned with a special
program: the Business School’s Leadership Institute. Also, from 9/95-5/98,
the leadership students were "the control group" for the
University’s Mobile Computing Pilot Project. Consequently, the primary content and
activities of this course will be the same as experienced by all SHU
students taking Oral Communication; however,
the references, examples, projects, interdisciplinary connections and technologies used in
this class will emphasize the development of leadership and mobile computing capabilities
for professional contexts. It is planned that this
course will make use of a variety of computer technologies, including :
- E-mail ( including submission of some
assignments)
|
- Group Editing of Speech Outlines
|
- Word Processing of
ALL
submissions
|
- Assignments posted via the Course web page (some
backup
listings on Blackboard)
|
- Presentation Graphics (e.g. PowerPoint)
|
- (Credible) Electronic research on Speech Topics
|
- Submission & Annotation of preliminary Presentation
Outlines
|
- Intraclass focused discussions (tent:
via
Blackboard)
|
| |
|
**Your laptops will not be required in class for each
session and in-class usage will be restricted to
class relevant applications only [i.e. no IM, no email, no chat,
restricted notetaking, etc.] . Specific dates will be assigned
[:] , but you are free to have it with you
"just-in-case".
|
| * Of course, there
is a no cell phone usage/no audible pager or alarm/ no electronic
distractions policy for this class.
|
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES FOR "Leadership"
ORAL COMM: (coordinated with School of Business Competency Statement )
1.
to increase your skill in areas of
communication which are particularly influential to leadership effectiveness: e.g.
clear and audience-centered organization , active listening , understanding of
"nonverbals" , interaction dynamics
2. to better understand the effects of using new
technologies in facilitating managerial communication: e.g. message structure,
group interaction, intra-organizational communication.
3. to be able to organize and present material for
effective communication --- in both presentational & interpersonal contexts
4. to develop greater ease and confidence in all types
of oral situations
5. to improve skills of voice and diction:
particularly clearer articulation and increased vocal variety
6. to better understand the entire communication
process (i.e. the underlying components, models and patterns and cultural
influences)
7. to better understand the basic operational dynamics
of work groups (Teams)
8. Also refer to the document:
"Oral Communication: Course Rationale & FAQ's "
.

his/her growth in, and mastery of, both public and interpersonal communication skills.
Consideration will also be given to the completeness and quality exhibited in
all course activities -- both written and oral.
ATTENDANCE AFFECTS GRADE.

Understanding the COURSE CALENDAR
- (some hints and guidelines)
~
Dr. Plummer uses this webpage course
calendar grid below as the PRIMARY source of information on the course's
activities and assignments. SOME of your Assignments/Activities/Quizzes
will need to be accessed through other locations. Links to those locations are
also contained within this Calendar grid [SUCH
AS BLACKBOARD] . HOWEVER, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MY
WEBPAGE & THE COURSE CALENDAR ARE THE PRIMARY COMMUNICATION TOOLS FOR THIS
COURSE. LOOK THERE FIRST. ~
<A>
The incorporation of the laptop computer into Oral Communication
is being done as a supplement to--
NOT as a
replacement of-- regular oral
interaction and, classroom activities. Although some
additional computer applications may be devised as we go along, this course
primarily consists of in-class, interactive,
face-to-face learning contexts.
Currently, the course calendar below contains many
of the
specifications for computer usage, as well as the
SUBJECT AREAS , SPEAKING ACTIVITIES , ASSIGNMENT
TOPICS , & READINGS IN THE TEXT.
<B>
Unless
otherwise noted, the reading and speaking assignments are listed
in the grid in the row for the day that they
are
DUE. Read
details carefully. Some
assignments are to be emailed [+]; some are
to be submitted in hardcopy [4];
some are to be submitted in class via a file you created
on your laptop
[:],
and some will be completed
orally as classwork.
Whenever possible, the details of the listed
assignments also will be clarified in class; however, it is the student's
responsibility to anticipate, to look for "posted" updates
{done via e-mail or
web page}, and to be prepared.
<C>
nOTE: FOR EMAILED ASSIGNMENTS, THE
subject line should indicate your section & should use the
EXACT
WORDING AS INDICATED IN THE COURSE CALENDAR.
OTHERWISE IT MAY GET OVERLOOKED IN MY INBOX.
[Any email you send
me is usually "filed" before I actually open & respond to it and
this filing is based on
what is written in the subject line area.
Therefore it is very important that any email you send to me clearly
indicates
your actual
name(not
just user ID),
your
course
section, and the
SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT TITLE
(or if appropriate,
an indication of your reason for emailing.) Without this appropriate
subject line information,
your email may not
be read in a timely way. ]
--
Also,BECAUSE OF SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS, if
you should ever have difficulty sending readable attachments,
try first saving your document as
"HTML"
, "RTF"
or
"text"
before
attaching it and sending it.
<D>
All speaking activities are indicated
with a box border. Of
these, the MAJOR presentations are indicated by capitals. Throughout the semester,
each MAJOR oral presentation will require the submission of:
|
(1)
a preliminary outline
[to the instructor - via
computer]
|
|
(2)
a final/revised outline
[to the instructor - via a"hard copy"]
including bibliography, when required
|
(3)
the use of
presentation delivery notes/outline
[for the speaker].
|
<E>
***
nOTE:
Internet source citations
must
list these 4 items:
[1]
URL,
[2]
the
Title of the particular Webpage you used,
[3] the
Date that you accessed the page &
[4]
(If available) the last date
that the page itself was updated. It
is also recommended that you refer to the
guidelines in the Department of Communication's Policy
on Academic Honesty
<F>
As mentioned above, there will be few, if any,
opportunities for "make-up" presentations; therefore, the MAJOR presentations
will proceed according to a specific
PRESENTATION
SCHEDULE.
This schedule will list the assigned dates for
speakers, evaluators, and tape recorder operators. The
schedule will be "published" via a link to your course
calendar as well as to a shortcut on my web page
at least one day before the presentations begin.
if
possible, a copy also will be posted on my office door. Consequently, students
always are expected to be
prepared to speak on their assigned date-- -NO EXCEPTIONS **mISSED
PRESENTATIONS WILL DEFAULT TO A:
DURING-FINALS-WEEK / BRING-YOUR-OWN-AUDIENCE/ APPOINTMENT-ONLY
PROCEDURE
and the opportunity to make up such missed
presentations cannot be guaranteed.**
<G>
Also, refer to the key of symbols at the end of the
calendar.
