Here's a summary of those five speeches. Online students must use FirstClass to submit assignments. Generally, the course is in two parts. Part one covers material up through the midterm and part two deals with material from the midterm to the final. Each student will participate in five speaking assignments, ranging in length from about two minutes to about seven minutes.
Some speeches require a written thesis or proposition statement, an outline and a bibliography.
Every student will receive a written critique for each speaking assignment. There are one-thousand points possible in the course. Here's how they're distributed. Online students note that Speech One is due at our first meeting. To earn credit, written work must be submitted on time, that is, when it is collected in class on the day it's due.
