2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
Students will become more competent communicators (using
knowledge, skill, motivation, and judgment).
Students will become more critical consumers and producers of
ideas and information (using analytical reasoning skills in the reception, collection, and
presentation of ideas).
Students will conduct background research necessary to develop
well-informed presentations.
Students will evaluate the communication skills of others (identifying effective and ineffective
aspects of oral presentations).
Students will become more competent in communicating in small group discussions (articulating
and defending their own ideas as well as listening to and considering the ideas of others).
Students will become more effective communicators in a democracy (demonstrating ethical
communication, considering multiple perspectives on controversial issues, and managing
conflict).
ASSIGNMENTS:
FORMAT:
- All assignments are to be typed using 12pt. Times New Roman font and 1 inch margins.
- All assignments are to be double-spaced
- All assignments are to be STAPLED.
- All written assignments must have the binder frills ripped off.
- All references are to be cited using American Psychological Association (APA) Style 6th
edition.
*The ONLY exceptions to this rule are the Preparing to Participate (P2P).I do reserve the right to
request that you type your P2Ps.
*If you do not meet one or more of these format requirements your assignment will earn an automatic
zero.
EXAMS:
There will be a midterm exam and a final exam. Exams will assess your understanding of communication
concepts, as well as your application and integration abilities.
PORTFOLIO:
The portfolio is a collection of your work in this course over the semester. It will represent your insights,
observation, experiences, and reflections that illustrate course content. Although a detailed handout will
be provided, the end product will consist of your Communication Improvement Profile (CIP) and Critical
Thinking Self Assessment and Ethical Communication Self Assessment Pre-test, copies of your draft and
final outlines, self critiques, and a final communication analysis paper and Critical Thinking Self
Assessment and Ethical Communication Self Assessment Post-test..
ILLINOIS ARTICULATION INITIATIVE:
The Illinois Articulation Initiative is designed to allow students to transfer course credit between
institutions. The IAI requires that all Com 110 students present at least three speaking opportunities that
include research and are five minutes, or longer, in duration.
SPEECHES:
Each student will present three speeches:
a. Informative speech (5-7 minutes, no more than 7:30; at least 4 sources)
b. Group presentation (18-20 minutes, no more than 20:30; at least 10 sources)
c. Persuasive speech (5-7 minutes, no more than 7:30; at least 3 new sources in addition to
sources used in the group speech)
All three speeches must be completed to pass the course.
Each presentation will be evaluated on content and delivery. Specific details will be clearly outlined in
class. Typed outlines and references are required for each (a sample will be provided).
SPEECH TOPICS:
You are allowed to choose your own topics for each speech, but I do reserve the right to reject the topic
that you choose.
ADDITIONAL SPEECH RULES:
1. 0 if you miss your own speech day or are not prepared on your speech day. For example, if you
are missing any of your speech materials, you will not be able to present and will receive 0
points. If you fail to give your speech on the assigned day you MUST complete that speech in the
speech lab for an audience of 3-5 people within two weeks of your original speech day. If you
fail to complete your speech in that time frame you will receive a 0 for your speech.
2. -10 points off your own speech score for each day you miss a peer’s speech.
3. -10 points if you are on your cell phone or being disruptive during a peer’s speech.
4. -5 points if you are tardy on any speech day.
5. -5 points for every 15 seconds you are over / under your speech time.
6. -5 points for having full sentences on your note cards.
OUTLINES:
Outlines will be required for each speech. To practice proper outline habits, a draft outline will be due for
the informative speech. After the informative speech is finished, you can turn in a draft outline to me to
look over, but final draft outlines will be the only outline required for the group and persuasive speeches.
SPEECH LAB:
It is encouraged that you visit the speech lab during the semester to practice your speech. It is also
recommended that you plan a visit to the speech lab at least one week before your speech so you have
enough time to synthesize the feedback received from the attendant and incorporate it into your speech.
Ultimately, the speech lab can be a useful tool in improving the quality of your speech and public
speaking skills. To schedule time in the speech lab, call 309-438-4556. The speech lab is located in the
basement of Fell Hall, room 032. Make an appointment at your earliest convenience since the speech lab
fills up fast. You must schedule an appointment at least 24 hours before the date you are scheduled
to deliver your speech in class, or you will not be able to use the speech lab. If you need to change
or cancel your appointment, you will need to call the Speech Lab at 438-4566 or stop by in person
(Fell 032) 24 hours in advance.
ASSIGNMENT DUE DATES:
All assignments will be due on the date assigned. No late work will be accepted unless I have previously
approved an alternative due date. NO ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED VIA EMAIL. If you
are going to miss a day of class turn in your assignments early. If you work ahead of time, you will not be
rushing to get your work done so think ahead!
PARTICIPATION / PROFESSIONALISM:
To receive full participation points, students are expected to complete all 18 Preparing to Participate
chapter assignments (P2Ps). P2Ps for each chapter are due at the beginning of the class period which we
discuss that chapter. These are the only assignments that can be hand-written. However, I will not grade
them if I cannot read them so if you know your handwriting could use some work, I would suggest typing
them. P2Ps influence your professionalism grade, being well prepared for class is professional.
ACTIVITY POINTS:
Activity points are a huge part of Com 110. These points include participation in activities, class
discussions, using ethical communication, etc. Final activity points will be released before the final at the
end of the semester since they are TBD and vary by day.

COURSE POLICIES:
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance is the key to success. Regular attendance will be expected and I will take attendance every
day. Your absence will result in loss of points, depending on what the class does that day. You are
always responsible for all material distributed in your absence. You get two freebies, use them wisely.
Excused absences include University-sanctioned events only. If you are involved in these types of
activities I will need a schedule of days you will miss within the first week of the semester. I will also
need a signed note from your coach or sponsor verifying you are on the team.
If you are sick, please do not come to class; sharing is not caring. Documented proof of illness will be
counted as an excused absence provided that you do not come to my class sick.
I know there will be times when emergencies happen. In case of an emergency, please email me or call
my office number as soon as possible. I am willing to work with you but I can only do so if you
communicate to me what is preventing you from coming to class. So, please don’t be afraid to
communicate with me.
TARDINESS:
Tardiness will not be tolerated. Being tardy twice will result in an unexcused absence. You will lose five
points on your own speech if you are late on any speech day. If you enter the classroom during a speech
you will lose ten points, so please wait until you hear applause to enter. If you feel that you have a
legitimate reason for being tardy, come talk to me the first week of class. If you are tardy on an exam
day, you will not be able to take the exam so please be on time.
PET PEEVES:
DO NOT THROW AWAY ANY OF YOUR ASSIGNEMENTS FOR THIS CLASS. YOU WILL
NEED THEM AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER!
Non-stapled assignments: For any multi-page assignment you are to complete out-of-class, it must be
stapled or else I will give you a 0 for the assignment grade. I recommend purchasing a mini-stapler and
carrying it in your bag with you at all times.
Fringes on papers: Assignments that have the fringes on them will result in a 0 for the assignment. It is
unprofessional to turn in an assignment with the fringes still attached to the paper.
Electronics: No electronic devices should be used in the classroom unless otherwise instructed by me for
the purpose of recording speeches. Being on any form of social media, such as Facebook, or texting in
class will result in an absence for that class period. Trust me, we can tell when you are.
WEDNESDAYS: On Wednesdays we wear pink.
UNIVERSITY BEREAVEMENT POLICY
Students who experience the death of an immediate family member or relative as defined in the
University Student Bereavement Policy will be excused from class for funeral leave, subsequent
bereavement, and/or travel considerations. Students are responsible for providing appropriate
documentation to the Dean of Students office and for contacting the instructor as soon as possible to
make arrangements for completing missed work. More information is available in the Student
Bereavement Policy at http://www.policy.illinoisstate.edu/2-1-27.shtml
COMMUNICATING WITH ME:
Email is the best way to get in contact with me if you have questions or concerns. Please allow at least a
24-hour response time. Feel free to stop by my office, I am only required to be there during my office
hours, however I can usually be found there. Also, you can call my office phone, but email is greatly
preferred.
PAGE LENGTH REQUIREMENTS:
Some assignments have requirements for page lengths. If an assignment says 2-3 pages that means two or
three whole pages. Not 1 page with a few words on the next page and an almost an entire piece of paper
full of nothing but empty space.
See how annoying that was? Don’t do that.
ELECTRONICS POLICY:
No electronics should be used in my classroom unless I specifically tell you to bring them. Text
messaging is distracting to other students and therefore, I reserve the right to read your text messages out
loud to the entire class. However, if there is some type of emergency for which you may need to take a
phone call during class, talk to me beforehand and we will work something out.
PROFESSIONAL COURTESY:
Professional courtesy includes respecting others' opinions, not interrupting in class, being respectful to
those who are speaking, and working together in a spirit of cooperation. I expect you to demonstrate
these behaviors at all times in this class.
CHEATING/PLAGIARISM:
Students are expected to be honest in all academic work, consistent with the academic integrity policy as
outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. All work is to be appropriately cited when it is borrowed,
directly or indirectly, from another source. Unauthorized and unacknowledged collaboration on speech
topics and/or the presentation of someone else’s work warrants plagiarism.
Students found to inadvertently commit acts of dishonesty will receive appropriate penalties specific to
the assignment in question. Students found to commit intentional acts of dishonesty will receive a failing
grade in the course and will be referred for appropriate disciplinary action through Community Rights
and Responsibilities.
SPECIAL NEEDS:
Any student needing to arrange a reasonable accommodation for a documented disability should contact
Disability Concerns at 350 Fell Hall, 438-5853 (voice), 438-8620 (TDD).
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES: Life at college can get very complicated. Students sometimes feel
overwhelmed, lost, experience anxiety or depression, struggle with relationship difficulties or diminished
self-esteem. However, many of these issues can be effectively addressed with a little help. Student
Counseling Services (SCS) helps students cope with difficult emotions and life stressors. Student
Counseling Services is staffed by experienced, professional psychologists and counselors, who are
attuned to the needs of college students. The services are FREE and completely confidential. Find out
more at Counseling.IllinoisState.edu or by calling (309) 438-3655.
SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION RESEARCH POOL WEBPAGE:
This website is dedicated to research projects approved by the School of Communication which students
enrolled in communication courses may participate during the semester. Com 110 students are
encouraged to participate in research projects found on this website for possible extra credit points
assigned at the discretion of their instructor to facilitate the production of new knowledge about
communication and to learn about the value of research. The website can be found at
https://sites.google.com/site/isucomresearch/
