Instructor: Dr. Larry C. Bobbert
Class Location: McKee, KY
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."
Prerequisites: None
Course Description/Course Goal:
To provide sufficient resources & instruction to assure that each student
completing this course has achieved basic oral communications skills and
understanding of ways to overcome barriers to effective communications.
Required Text :
A specific text will not be required. Readings from on line sources and Dr.
Bobbert's book DON'T TALK! COMMUNICATE! will be assigned. You will not be
required to purchase Dr. Bobbert's book. Copies will be made available on loan.
Effective communication skills are necessary for everyone. 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
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.
| Any of the listed pages and assignments may change anytime up until that class meets. |
