the best thing humans have for interaction, progress and handing knowledge to
new generations."

understanding of ways to overcome barriers to effective communications.

Dr. Bobbert also requires readings from on line sources and from his
book DON'T TALK! COMMUNICATE! wil be assigned.
You will not be required to purchase Dr. Bobbert's book. A copy of the book
with annotations can be accessed on the web. Click the book above to
connect to the text. You may purchase a hard copy of the book from Dr. Bobbert

You will need to access Dr. Bobbet's Midway Web Site each week for Web
assigned readings and research. Modern communications requires student
knowledge of web 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.
Any of the listed pages and assignments may change anytime up until that class meets.
