In today’s fast-paced and tech savvy world, the ability to articulate and present ideas, arguments and positions in face to face context remains a vital skill.  Although opportunities to develop these presentation skills can be limited, this course will provide the learning necessary to be a confident and persuasive public speaker.

This course will instruct you with construction and transmission of various speeches including informative and persuasive speeches.  You will research, outline and develop speeches.  The course aims to diminish your apprehension in public presentations, emphasize preparation and enhance public speaking skills.  The importance of listening and paying attention is researched.  Informal settings that you may be called upon to make a public speech are also an area of study.
