You will prefer to be present for scheduled tests. There will be two styles of speeches given in this course. You will research, prepare and deliver four formal speeches. Failure to deliver your speech on the assigned date will result in automatic point deductions for the assignment. To make up that speech, you must have a valid, university approved excuse.
All speeches require an outline.
It must be turned over to the instructor as you approach the lectern for your presentation. Note cards may be used as indicated and will be collected immediately after each presentation. A bibliography is also required. NO alcohol, animals, drugs, fireworks, firearms, or weapons of ANY kind will be allowed as a visual aid for a speech presentation. However, the instructor is partial to chocolate and Dr. Pepper.
