Course Description
Public speaking is considered the most common fear; however, this fear can be conquered through proper instruction, preparation, and support. This course is designed to explore the conceptual and practical dimensions of public speaking and presenting. Emphasis will be placed upon audience analysis, adaptation, strategic organization and development of ideas, and verbal and nonverbal presentational skills. Speech is an extremely important professional and life skill, it’s how arguments are presented, problems are solved, bodies are motivated/moved, social change occurs, and so on. I believe this course can give you skills to be utilized for numerous exigencies that occur outside the classroom. It is my hope that through this course, you will be given a foundation for you to begin to create your own voice, thus enhancing your engagement and ability to participate in the social, political, and professional endeavors of life.
Course Mission & Objectives
By the end of the semester, we will build presentational competence grounded in theoretical understanding, which will allow you to:
· Conceptualize the dynamics of speaking situations and practices
· Organize a message
· Structure a Speech
· Adapt messages to audience
· Speak extemporaneously
· Critically analyze and create a cohesive argument
· Understand the importance of rhetoric and public speaking in our society
Course Policies
Attendance
Documentation is required in the instance of a university-sanctioned absence (athletic teams, extra circulars ,etc.) or for illness. Attendance means showing up on time and participating in class. Since this class is presentation based its imperative that you show up on time and respect your classmates while presenting. Unexcused absences will negatively impact your grade. Two or more (as this class meets once a week) absences may result in a failing grade. In instances of emergency, contact me as soon as possible to ensure that we can work out the situation.
Speech Days
On speech days, you need to be a good audience member.Audience members are attentive, considerate, and listen. They DO NOT fall asleep, use their phone, be disruptive, or work on assignments during a speech. If these things occur it will result in a 10% deduction from your own speech grade. The purpose of this course is to not only help build a foundation to make you a better speaker, but also better at listening. Being an excellent communicator is not only being able to speak eloquently, it also entails active listening. If you are late on a speech day, please remain outside the door and wait until you hear applause. I do not tolerate late students disrupting speeches.

How did the world become global? Starting in the 1450s, this course explores how mariners,
merchants, and monarchs connected the globe through faster ships, the exchange of goods, and
colonial governance. Today’s highly interconnected world has a history, including the rise of
global empires, the expansion of export economies, and worldwide political revolutions. As race
became fixed, gender roles shifted, and science described and classified through Western eyes,
human actions made the world modern. Together we will ask how large-scale resistance to
centralized rule and the persistence of people’s everyday lives shaped the changes we now call
globalization and modernity.
Course objectives
Students who complete this class will be able to:
• Explain the difference between primary and secondary sources.
• Use evidence from primary and secondary sources to construct an argument.
• Differentiate between local and global processes; in other words: articulate how scale
changes historical analysis.
• Evaluate similarities and differences; in other words: make historical comparison.
Course Structure
Theme Skills Focus
Part I Empires Using Evidence :: Making Arguments
Part II Globalization Thinking with Scale
Part III Revolutions Making Comparisons

Course Methodology
Historical analysis Historical analysis requires learning, understanding, and assessing available
evidence and then asserting informed interpretations. Here, historical analysis does not imply a
listing of a series of events, people, or circumstances. Instead, historians conduct careful
investigations and test their assumptions in order to assert an interpretation or an argument about
the past.
Preparation Our class experience will rely on our mutual preparation. I do not expect you to be
experts in all things regarding world history, but I do ...

colonial governance. Today’s highly interconnected world has a history, including the rise of
global empires, the expansion of export economies, and worldwide political revolutions. As race
became fixed, gender roles shifted, and science described and classified through Western eyes,
human actions made the world modern. Together we will ask how large-scale resistance to
centralized rule and the persistence of people’s everyday lives shaped the changes we now call
globalization and modernity.

Course Methodology
Historical analysis Historical analysis requires learning, understanding, and assessing available
evidence and then asserting informed interpretations. Here, historical analysis does not imply a
listing of a series of events, people, or circumstances. Instead, historians conduct careful
investigations and test their assumptions in order to assert an interpretation or an argument about
the past.

This course concentrates on the theory and practice
of interactive writing for new media channels,
especially in professional or organizationally-
situated contexts. The course allows students to
critically examine and respond to a variety of
rhetorical situations while also cultivating skills in
content design and development for different
digital environments. Much of the work of the course
will be done in teams, emulating the environment in
which many writing professionals work and giving
students the opportunity to develop their skills as
effective collaborators.
This is an advanced writing course; therefore a key
goal is developing your ability to write clearly and
effectively in a variety of prose genres, especially
those you might encounter as a writer working in
professional contexts.
Given that nowadays so much professional writing
is published and encountered on the web,
contemporary writing professionals must be
prepared to critically and productively engage
with their audiences online. That means that in
addition to being concerned with matters of
content, audience, persuasion, document design,
language, correctness, and style, we will also
explore new graphic, rhetorical, and narrative
structures for writing and thinking which are suited
to digital, multimodal, and interactive
environments.

model of teaching this course successful,
your in-class attendance can provide the
necessary clarification that will allow you to
successfully complete your assignments for

whose work and thought are drawn upon. It is the responsibility of each student to
become familiar with what constitutes academic dishonesty and plagiarism, and to
avoid all forms of cheating and plagiarism. Students may not engage in any form of
academic misconduct, and are responsible for learning how to present the ideas of
others in their own work, and avoid all other forms of academic misconduct. For
current documentation practices, consult the instructor or a style manual (e.g., APA,
MLA). All violations will be handled under the procedures established in the
Academic Misconduct Policy.
Students should read and understand Eastern’s Academic Misconduct Policy, which

Grading - Proving ground grading system
EASTERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY 13
What does proving ground
grading mean? It means the
stick-and-carrot type of grading
will not be used for this course
(work submitted = grade that
reflects quality of work).
Instead, you will learn to master
the art and skill of writing
through repeated submission of
drafts for feedback from me
until you arrive at the final
product.
1. You will be given three weeks to complete each assignment with the exception of
the website project, which will be worked on throughout the semester.
The final grade for the assignment will
depend on your level of effort. With each
draft you will improve upon the last one
and take it one step further. No grade will
be given for these drafts, only feedback for
improvement.

Proving ground grading system (con't)
2. When you submit the final product on the end date (see page 12 for
end dates), you will also submit a self-evaluation that answers a series of
questions in essay format provided in the assignment guidelines.
a. Along with this self-evaluation you will submit the point
value (grade) you believe reflects the effort taken to complete
the assignment. In other words, YOU are grading YOUR OWN
work based on your efforts and mastery of the task.
Example
You will see on page 12 that the public service announcement assignment is
worth 150 points. When you submit the final product along with your self-
evaluation of your work, you will also present the points you think reflect the
quality of your work. You will break down YOUR grading point scale for the
assignment.
So if you feel that your assignment is worth receiving the full 150 points ("A"
grade), then that is the “grade” you will submit. I caution you to be very honest
about your writing and work ethic.
3. I will either accept the grade or reject the grade. You will receive feedback VIA
BLACKBOARD LEARN whether the grade you submitted was accepted or rejected. If
your grade is rejected, from there, and I’ll quote from the movie Clueless, “[the]
grade is just a jumping off point to start negotiations.” You read correctly; you will
negotiate with me as to why you feel the grade that you submitted is justified.
The negotiation must take place
within seven days of the
rejection via Zoom/Web
Ex/Skype at a mutually agreed
upon date and time.
Be sure to bring all your evidence to
the negotiation table to support your
position. Whatever is finally negotiated
is the official grade for that assignment,
and it is irrevocable. You will sign a
statement signifying you agree with the
final offer.
If no negotiation occurs, I will grade the work appropriately.
