ADDITIONAL NOTES:

 Several studies have indicated that using electronic devices within contexts that require careful listening actually is counterproductive. You may also be interested in reading about: Computer Distraction Research. Therefore, these policies will help you be a better listener & student:      

  In-class usage of computers/devices will be restricted to class relevant applications only {i.e. no IM, no email, no chat, restricted notetaking , etc.}.

  Similarly, there is a  no-electronic-distractions-policy for this class {e.g. no cell phone usage/no audible pagers or alarms/no texting,  etc.}


 EVALUATION PROCEDURES:

          Students will be evaluated in consideration of their  growth in, and mastery of,  public and interpersonal communication skills.  Quality and comprehensiveness are additional factors in the evaluation of class performance.

   ATTENDANCE AFFECTS GRADE. (In general, the semester 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, h.c. outlines)  [more weight on presentations later in the semester] 40%
   Group Discussion Presentation & project submissions [topic disc.]  5%
   Classwork (incl. attendance, participation, homework, Blackboard activities, MindTap activities) Roughly 10 points per item. Target = 300 points 15%
   Online Compilation Quizzes  10% 
   Midterm Exam  15%
   "The Final" (all parts: oral + written)  15%

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

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

OVERVIEW

WHAT ITEMS ARE LISTED IN THE CALENDAR GRID?

WHAT DO THE CALENDAR COLUMNS MEAN?

 SYMBOLS INDICATING TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS

FINDING THE PRESENTATIONS WITHIN THE CALENDAR  (incl. major submission requirements)

EMAIL ETIQUETTE & BEST PRACTICES

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR DATE(S) OF PRESENTATION (in the Presentation Schedules)

LISTING YOUR SOURCE CITATIONS [ the least you should do]

 

 

 ~ The Course Calendar Table/Grid below contains the  PRIMARY guidance for navigating the information,  activities & assignments in this course.  Course content itself may be located in a variety of places ( e.g. Blackboard, Communicate!-MindTap, or external links). This course calendar should be used as the "user's manual" for the course. Because it is a calendar, the units & assignments are listed CHRONOLOGICALLY, in sequential rows--not by category. This enables you to see how the item functions within the context of the units being studied. This online version of this calendar grid contains links &/or directions which will point you toward pages & locations  containing course materials ( e.g.  Activities/Quizzes/Slide Shows/Tutorials, etc.).  However, please be aware that the professor's  webpage contains your COURSE SYLLABUS + COURSE CALENDAR which are the PRIMARY informational tools for this course.   LOOK THERE FIRST. ~

 

 

<A>  Oral Communication is a participatory course, relying on various forms of oral interaction and classroom activities. Any computer applications are used as supplements--NOT replacements of face-to-face learning contexts.  The course calendar below indicates the planned SUBJECT AREAS , SPEAKING ACTIVITIES , ASSIGNMENT TOPICS , & READINGS IN THE TEXT.  Additional items will be added as the semester progresses. Some materials are located directly in the MindTap site but other items are to be found elsewhere.
 

<B>    Column Format:

► 1st column = week of the semester

► 2nd column =   meeting dates

► 3rd column =  item(s) of focus for that day

► 4th column=  items  to READ (in textbook or external links)  

► 5th column =  Items located in MindTap  (assignments & activities & Chapter quizzes  & To Be Discussed In Class) + as well as items to be done IN CLASS (presentations or activities)

 
<C>  Unless otherwise noted, the reading and speaking assignments are listed in the calendar grid in the row for the day that they are DUE.   Read details carefully. Some assignments are to be emailed {sent icon} [+] some are to be submitted in hardcopy  {sheet of paper} [4];  some are to be used in class via a file created on your computer {computer}  [:], and some will be completed orally as classwork.  Often,  assignments' details will be clarified in class; however, it is the student's responsibility to anticipate, to note any "posted" updates {done via e-mail or web page}, and to be prepared.. TBDIC  means "to be discussed in class"; no written submission.
 

 <D> All speaking activities are indicated with a box border. Of these, the MAJOR presentations are indicated by capitals.  Note:  each MAJOR oral presentation will require the submission of:  

(1) a preliminary analysis paper /or/ outline [to the instructor - via email]

(2) a final, revised analysis paper /or/ outline [to the instructor - via a "hard copy"] including bibliography, when required

(3) the use of presentation delivery notes/outline [for the speaker].

 

<E>   Basic (Professional) Email Etiquette :   

* Use a relevant subject Line:  The SUBJECT LINE should be appropriate & indicative--otherwise it might be overlooked. [As general professional practice, email is prioritized, opened & answered according  to the subject line.]   Therefore, any email you send to me should clearly indicate your NAME (not just user ID), your COURSE SECTION, and the  EXACT ASSIGNMENT TITLE (or your reason for emailing.]  
 
 * Include something in the actual memo: When sending an email with an attachment , you should NEVER leave the body of the email  blank. The body of such an email should mention the content/title of the attached item(s) and the "signature" of the sender. [Similarly, you would never mail/send a resume without including a cover letter.]
*attachment workarounds: Generally, WORD & PDF formats are the most universally compatible. Occasionally your recipient may have trouble opening a document. Work-around strategies include: (1) save the document as "HTML" , "RTF" or "text"  before attaching & sending it. (2) For brief items try including the document within the body of the email itself.

 

     

 

<F> The "Presentation Schedule" Procedure:  Slots for the MAJOR presentations are specified  in advance via the online posting of a Presentation Schedule—specifying presentation dates, evaluator assignments, & technical assistants/ recorder operators.   It will be "published" at least one day before the presentations begin--linked to your course calendar as well as via a shortcut on the Professor's main web page. Whenever possible, a copy also will be posted on the Professor's office door. Consequently, students always are expected to be prepared to speak on their assigned date -- NO EXCEPTIONS**.

** Any missed major presentations will default to a DURING-FINALS-WEEK / BRING-YOUR-OWN-AUDIENCE/ APPOINTMENT-ONLY  procedure . Consequently, the opportunity to make up such missed presentations is not guaranteed.**

 
<G>  About using Internet source citations:   Grade points will be deducted if bibliographies  are not formatted correctly-i.e. according to a specific style sheet such as APA, MLA, etc.  Such style sheets give specifications for how to handle material you get from hard copy as well as  online sources. However-- at the very least-- when referring to material from an electronic source  be sure to list at least 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.   NOTE: A URL BY ITSELF IS INSUFFICIENT & points will be deducted!  It is also recommended that you refer to the guidelines in the College of Communication's Policy on Academic Honesty .

ABOUT THIS LEADERSHIP STUDIES VERSION OF THE COURSE…

Oral Communication is a "Core" course, required for all majors in your department. However, this particular section is aligned with a special program: the Business School's Center for Leadership Development. Also, from 9/95-5/98, the leadership students were "the control group" for the University's Mobile Computing Pilot Project. Overall, the primary content and activities of this course are the same as for all Oral Communication students; however, the references, examples, projects, and topics used in this class will emphasize concepts of leadership practices and digital capabilities as would be found in professional contexts, including:

  • Email technique (clarity, etiquette, efficiency, handling attachments)

  • Group Editing/Critiquing of Speech Outlines [WIKIs][Forums]

  • Understanding the principles of oral language vs Written Language

  • Developing strategic navigation skills for finding, reading, and using online content. (e.g. there are three locations for course materials: the Professor's web page {Assignments & Schedules} AND  Blackboard {Quizzes  & Slide Shows} AND  MindTap {Activities, Assessments and Misc materials}

  • Skilled use of visual supporting materials (e.g. [Powerpoint, etc]

  •  Ability to assess credibility & validity in online sources and research.
