REQUIRED TEXT: Communicate! (12th 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	tent: Intraclass focused discussions (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 " .

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

1. Submission of all written work on time ( some via email / some via hardcopy)

2. Completion of all presentations and speeches (including submission of hardcopy outlines for each Major presentation)

3. Comprehension and application of the material covered in the text & distributed materials

4. Regular attendance and participation in class {no more than 3 hrs of absence/ 3 tardies}

5. Completion of “outside” reading/research/observational assignments

        6. Use of audio recording AND videorecording (formats to be specified: e.g. audiocassette/VHS/ personal digital recorder /miniDV)

        7. Testing/Assessment: via online Quizzes (2-3; announced); via Blackboard
                                              Midterm Exam (written)
                                              "The Final" (written + oral)

8. Extra Credit: Attendance & reaction paper for one performance of a Theater-in-the-Round production ( there will be 10 performances at SOPAthis semester. ) Click here for additional information: T-I-T-R page to be updated

Also…BE AWARE OF ASSIGNMENTS’ DATES AND DEADLINES; there will be little or no opportunity for make up work.

EVALUATION PROCEDURES:

The student will be evaluated in consideration of 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. (In general, the grade will be lowered one
denomination in proportion to the number of additional absences beyond the course limit.)

GRADE COMPUTATION:	Major Oral Presentations (incl. revised outlines) [more weight on presentations later in the semester]	40%
	Group Discussion Presentation & projevt submissions [topic disc.]	5%
	Classwork (incl. attendance, participation, homework, Blackboard activities, *T-I-T-R* attendance)	15%
	Online Quizzes	10%
	Midterm Exam	15%
	"The Final" (all parts)	15%

i.e. roughly 55% for "oral work" & 45% for "written" work

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. Additional items will be added as the semester progresses.

<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> FOR EMAILED ASSIGNMENTS, THE subject line should indicate your section & should use the EXACT title WORDING AS INDICATED IN THE COURSE CALENDAR. OTHERWISE IT MAY GET OVERLOOKED IN MY INBOX.

[My email is prioritized, opened & responded to based on what is written in the subject line area. Therefore, in order for your email to be read in a timely way, it is 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.)

-- 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> 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 the course web page}, and to be prepared.

<E> 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 analysis paper/outline [to the instructor - via email]

(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].

<F> About the Presentation Schedule: 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 recorder operators. At least one day before the presentations begin this schedule will be "published" via a link to your course calendar as well as via a shortcut on my web page. 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> About using Internet source citations: In your oral & written source citations/bibliography, you 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

<H> Also, refer to the key of symbols at the end of the calendar.
