If you are unsure about the safety or appropriateness of any object you plan to use as part of a speech, please see me before you plan the speech. Attendance is an important part of class participation for this course. It is critical to the scheduling of speeches. Any student who is absent without explanation for more than six consecutive classes or more than ten separate classes will be presumed to have dropped the class. No further time for speeches will be made available for that student .
Punctuality is also important.
Any student who arrives more than twenty minutes late for class will be considered absent from that class.
