As we continue to provide solutions to help more instructors move to online instruction in the wake of COVID-19, we are pleased to announce we have partnered with VitalSource and RedShelf to provide free access to our e-Books on both platforms. Recognizing that some students may lose access to their books if they are not on campus, or need access to materials while they study from home, students can now access our content via either partner for the remainder of term. They need only to go to the VitalSource or RedShelf websites for more information. You can work directly with your campus e-Book vendor to get your students the resources they need. |
♦ PRIMARY COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Learning how to "sell"
your message .... and yourself,
too. In other words:
1. to learn how to strategically articulate &
present your ideas to a targeted audience
2. to utilize classic rhetorical principles of
public address for informing and influencing others.
3. to understand the importance of an engaged
and interactive communication environment.
4. to develop skills of leadership through
strategic communication choices
5. to sharpen listening skills-- particularly
comprehensive, critical, and discriminatory.
6. to develop adaptive competence-- i.e. becoming fluent and fluid in various contexts
______________________________________________________________

COURSE
PROCEDURES & EXPECTATIONS:
1. Regular attendance and participation in class & class activities. Attendance, Punctuality, and Quality of Classroom Engagement all are taken into consideration during the final tabulation of the grades.
Due
to the participatory nature of this course, it is necessary to attend each
session. If you are absent more than 2 times you can not get more than a
B
in the course; more than 3-4 times, no more than a
C;
5 times, no more than a
D; if you are
absent 6 or more times, you will not pass. Only absences which are accompanied
by doctor
notes, university letters, or similar
documentation will be considered "excused". Additionally, 3 tardies (coming
in late)
= 1 absence!
2.
All work must be submitted on time. Failure to do so
will result in a grade of 0 for that assignment.
3. In addition to the oral presentations, in this course, the written assignments will include: written outlines, self critiques, 1-2 in-class Tests / 3-4 online quizzes) Overviews, Guidelines, and Information sheets will be available via links to this online syllabus.
4. Students are expected to understand, analyze, and apply the material covered in the textbook, readings, and lecture notes.
5.
Of course, there is a
no-electronic-distractions policy for this class. This includes
no-cell-phone-usage/ no-audible-pagers-or-alarms / etc. Laptops will be used in
class on only a limited basis.
**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 only,
etc.]

It is the policy and practice of
COURSE CALENDAR {subject to change via this online version, stay tuned!}
1.
The following calendar lists the dates of the units of study and the
accompanying readings in the required text. As
the semester progresses,
Additional written
assignments,
2.
Classroom time will be devoted primarily to the clarification, exploration, and
discussion of the issues generated by the readings and students' research. In
other words, class sessions will be based on your readings and
research, but will not simply "rehash" the same exact material in a verbatim
manner. You can be better prepared for the classroom activities & discussions if
you keep up on your readings.
It is the student's responsibility to be prepared for class by
anticipating the units and discussion assignments.
NB: Updates and additional details will be made via the online
calendar and/or via email.
** 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.** { NB: Only a few make-up slots will be available. Last semester several people were unable to make up their presentation zeros } |

||||||||||||||
Dear COMM-2625 - As you may have seen in the recent announcement,
SHU has issued new policies that affect some on-campus
classes/activities/events (but not all!). Since the announcement
specifies that weekday, on-campus classes are canceled 3/11-3/15 . this
means that in a technical sense, we do not have class in 3/11.
The additional adjustments to the course calendar will be made on
this website by 3/16. [WEEK-BY-WEEK as university policies
are announced]. Obviously, going forward, there will be a
greater instructional reliance on ASYNCHRONOUS techniques: readings,
Professor slide shows, forum postings, and additional online quizzes.
Since this is a speech class, submission of personally-recorded video
presentations may have to replace live presentations. Teamwork will
still occur but some changes may be made to the formats of the
deliverables. This means that, similar to an online course, most
activities will not occur on a Mon Weds from
9:30-10:45 basis—although there may be some “real-time” items.) |
