resources, tools and world wide access to information.
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
will emphasize both the theoretical and practical applications of communication in
personal relationships and groups as well as public speaking.
Topics discussed will include the following:
The foundations of communication
- Perceptions
- Personal history
- Culture
- Verbal and Non verbal communication
- Listening
Interpersonal communications
Communication in personal relationships
Group and team communication in task groups
Interviewing
Public communications
Planning, researching, developing, organizing and presenting public speeches
Award Speech and Narrative speaking
After Dinner speaking to inform and entertain
Informative speaking
Persuasive speaking
Group Presentations
While COM 205 focuses on activities to aid your developing your ability to speak with
confidence, clarity and conviction, COM 205 is not exclusively a speech class. It includes a
look at communications concepts, theories, principles and research findings that help you
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.
Time permitting other subjects will be covered such as:
Job Interviews
Dealing with Difficultl Behavior
Advanced Body Language
Using Questions to "lead" a discussion.

Communication is "often inaccurate, easily frustrating and seldom perfect, but it is the best thing humans have for interaction, progress and handing knowledge to new generations."
