Students who miss a speech due to lack of preparation will be allowed to make up the speech at a date given by the instructor for half credit if arrangements are made prior to the speech date. Topics should be based upon speaker's interest. However, I strongly suggest that you check with me on your topics due to certain topics being over done. However, two topics that are off limits in this class are politics and religion. I will allow note cards to aid the speaker during some speeches.
Note cards are for reference only.
Every effort will be made to grade and hand back tests, outlines, etc., within a week of their completion. These materials should be retained by the student, as a check list against the instructor's records. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism and cheating, both of which are defined below. Plagiarism is representing the work of others as one's own or paraphrasing closely from a source without giving proper attribution. This would include text, figures, charts, graphs or other such material that is not properly cited.
