On Preparing, Presenting, and Evaluating Speeches
The purpose of this course is to develop your skills in designing and delivering speeches to inform and speeches to persuade. You will learn from four sources: your text, your instructor, your own speeches, and your classmates.
When preparing your speeches you should design them for your classmates. Your speeches to inform should provide your classmates with information which is new, important, and relevant to them; your persuasive speeches should be designed to persuade them.
Each of your speeches will be evaluated by five of your classmates; you, of course, will be invited to evaluate the speeches of some of your classmates. Student ratings will be turned in to me, I will review them, clip off raters' names, and give them to the speaker along with my own evaluation and grade.
Raters should evaluate carefully, should identify strengths, and should constructively suggest improvements. Student raters who complete rating sheets conscientiously and who provide constructive comments will be rewarded for their participation
