Class Details

Clear and persuasive public speaking, whether before a small group or a much larger audience, is essential to effective leadership and career development. This course is designed to enhance a student’s ability to develop a position on a significant issue and to advance and defend that position orally. This course will give students, either singly or in pairs, numerous opportunities to make presentations and receive immediate feedback from the Instructors. The course will consist of three sessions per week lasting approximately 120 minutes, with an initial organizational session to select a topic to be presented or debated. Students may choose either to present individually or in a debate format with another individual. Students may select their own presentation topic or choose from a list of suggested issues.
