WRCM 110 - Public Communication

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
In this course, students will develop skills needed to construct and deliver effective speeches by recognizing the role of communication in cultivating engaged participation in public life and encouraging an audience-centered approach to speaking, persuasion, and rhetoric. While theoretical foundations of public speaking methods and techniques will be discussed, this is a practice-oriented course. As such, students will develop effective writing and speaking techniques through classroom discussions, activities, and assignments. Students will develop speeches and presentations based upon their own socio-political interests.

This course is appropriate for new students.
