You will be assigned an informative speech group and are to attend every discussion. You will be expected to react to the other groups on their assigned days. If a class is canceled, all assignments will be in effect for the next class meeting. All written assignments are due on the date assigned. Make-ups will be allowed if you have a valid university approved excuse.
Speeches are due on the day assigned.
Points will be deducted for grammatical and spelling errors on all written assignments. Students with numerous errors may be required to attend sessions at the Center for Academic Support for the duration of the semester. Proof, proof, proof, use spell check, proof again. Any student in this course who has a disability that prevents the fullest expression of their abilities should contact me personally as soon as possible so that we can discuss class requirements. A student's academic honesty is a fundamental assumption of the course.
