Everyone needs Effective communication skills to succeed in our modern world..
Communication skills are even more important for leaders. You are one or you are
working to become one. In the next few weeks consider (think and observe) the different
types of communications that you need to develop in order to be as successful as you
hope to be. Think about the most gifted speakers with whom you’ve talked, or heard
present. What do you recall about how they communicated, vs what they had to say?
Consider examples of how poor communications detract from the effectiveness of a
speaker’s message.
This course will focus on speaking with ease, impromptu speaking, projecting a
professional image, overcoming “stage fright,” and speaking with a confident demeanor.
COM 205 is more than a speech course it contains an overview of oral communication and

personal relationships and groups as well as public speaking.

understand communicating is more than what you say. Lecture and discussion sessions
emphasize special skills and information important to your learning not to “talk” but to
communicate. You will be expected to read the text and be prepared to answer quiz
questions on the material and exhibit a knowledge of the material in your presentations.
