An Incentive Unit is given for class participation, teamwork, and attendance. Students also submit a written evaluation of the presentation. A brief Teleconference presentation, of which students write a short evaluation. A team Persuasive presentation, which is videotaped for later review. A Final Project, which may be a live presentation or on videotape.
Students complete several short written assignments on presentation skills during the semester.
These include a weekly memo discussing their readings in the text, an abstract of an article on presentations, a short essay on the use of evaluation forms, two reports on observations of outside speakers, and a summary of all the work done during the semester.
