SPCH 005 FORENSICS - SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM
3 units
Intercollegiate competitive speaking including platform events (informative, persuasive, communication analysis);
interpretation (prose, duo, poetry, poi); limited preparation (impromptu and extemporaneous); and debate (parliamentary
debate). Maximum credit 12 units, 3 units each semester. Total of 36 hours lecture and 72 hours laboratory. This course
may be scheduled using the “To Be Arranged” (TBA) scheduling format.
RATIONALE: 1. This course was initially one unit (SPCH 005A & SPCH 005B). It does not reflect the amount of
academic units required to prepare a successfully competitive event on the local, regional, state, and national level.
Combining both SPCH 005A and SPCH 005B into SPCH 005 as a 3-unit course with 1 TBA Lab will align the workload to
match the units.
2. This course should be a 3-unit course to reflect the CSU forensics programs, specifically CSU Fullerton’s program.
They offer 3 units. Chapman University and CSU Long Beach offers 1-3 units for their forensics courses.
3. Other nationally competitive programs such as Mt. San Antonio College, Orange Coast College, Moorpark, El Camino,
Irvine Valley College, and Southern Illinois College (just to name a few) offer forensics as a 3-unit course.
