In your presentations, there will be no firearms, no illegal drugs, no alcohol, and no nudity. You must get instructor permission to bring any live animals into class. Plagiarism Students are often tempted to take well-written sentences, clear organization, or unique approaches from magazine articles, books or other students' speeches without giving credit to the original thinker or writer. Nevertheless, public speakers must not plagiarize. The speaker's lack of familiarity with organization, ideas, or word choices that he or she did not generate often shows up in ineffective delivery.
Speakers ultimately pay when they skip steps in the speech building process.
There may be several pop quizzes throughout the semester. Missed Speeches Students are expected to give speeches on the day scheduled. There is no guarantee that a student will be able to give a speech on a date other than that originally scheduled. In the event of an emergency, it is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor before class time on the date of the scheduled speech. No speeches can be made up after the class has completed the cycle of a speech.
