Relationship to Academic Development Programs and Transfer:
COMM 101 fulfills 3 of the 9 semester hours of credit in Humanities/Fine Arts required for the
A.A. or A.S. degree. It satisfies the Humanities component of this requirement. COMM 101
should transfer to other Illinois colleges and universities as the equivalent of the General
Education Core Curriculum course C2 900, described in the Illinois Articulation Initiative.
However, students should consult an academic advisor for transfer information regarding
particular institutions. Refer to the IAI web page for information as well at
http://www.itransfer.org/IAI/Other/Student.taf
Course/Lab Outline:
I. Introduction: The Essentials of Communication
II. Public Speaking
III. The Informative Speech
IV. The Persuasive Speech
V. Speeches for Other Occasions
Methods of Instruction/Personal Teaching Philosophy:
I believe that learning is a collaborative process, dynamic and continuous. As such, it must be
nurtured and encouraged. This process is facilitated by everyone’s contribution to class
discussion. Serious participation in this course is essential to group discussion in the interests of
developing collaborative learning. I believe the teacher and student have a joint responsibility to
take part in this process. You as a student have a lot to contribute and bring to the class. It is
therefore you become a major part of the learning and sharing process.
Through the use of visuals, audio clips of speeches, textbook reading, lecture, handouts and
small group work, together we will explore the world of public speaking. As your instructor, I
will work with you to help you overcome and/or decrease any communication apprehension you
may have in delivering your speeches and help you develop as a student and speaker.
My goal as your instructor is to help you grow as a speaker and as an individual. I pledge to
assist you in:
 becoming more comfortable as a speaker and presenter,
 assist you to increase your self awareness of the world around you,
 improve your critical thinking,
 encourage your ability to analyze research, synthesize information and apply the concepts
by presenting it to your peers.
If you have high speech anxiety, we need to talk as soon as possible about what I can and
will do to help you successfully complete this class. I want you to succeed and I especially
want you to pass with a good grade.
Lecture: In addition to text reading assignments, I will present material not found in the
required text. If you absent from class, it will be your responsibility to obtain lecture notes from
one of your classmates or make an appointment with me so we can discuss course material you
missed. However, this should be arranged within the first week you have returned. You should
also check with me for any handouts given on the day(s) you are absent.
Course Policies:
Method of Evaluation (Tests/Exams, Grading System):
The majority (60-70%) of the final course grade will be determined by performance on four
speeches and at least two impromptu speaking situations. At least one speech will be
informative, and at least one speech will be persuasive. Students will deliver four speeches, each
of which will be a minimum of 5 minutes in length and delivered extemporaneously. The
remainder (30-40%) of the final course grade will be determined by scores on activities and
assignments such as in-class speaking activities, class participation, speech outlines, quizzes,
exams, peer evaluations, research assignments, and other exercises that help students create,
plan, organize, and develop the form and content of their speeches.
Quizzes – there will be several quizzes throughout the semester. These quizzes may or may not
be announced in advanced. Quiz’s/exams need to be taken on the day they are given. If there is a
verifiable emergency, I will allow you to make up a quiz/exam in the testing center. However,
this quiz/exam must be completed before the next scheduled class. NOTE: If I perceive a
pattern of missing class on “quiz/exam” day, this option will not be allowed. It is your
responsibility to contact me before or on the day of the quiz/exam with your reason for not
attending class.
If you need to take the quiz/exam in the testing center, please talk to me as soon as possible.
If you miss the final exam, again it is your responsibility to contact me to make
arrangements to complete the exam within two days it was given.
The college has a testing center which can be used, if necessary, for makeup of tests. If you
complete the quiz or exam in the testing center, you will need to show a photo ID to take the
quiz or exam. Check with the testing center for times they are open.
Speeches – There will be 4 required graded speeches. All required graded speeches must be
completed in order to receive a passing grade in this course. These speeches must be
delivered by the last scheduled day of class to receive a passing grade.
You will also be doing several impromptu speeches – more about this will be discussed in class.
Activities: I will provide activities that are designed to illustrate and supplement material that
will aid you in your ability to deliver effective and quality speeches and gain greater confidence
in your speaking ability and understanding of course material.
Final grades will be determined according to the following scale:
A = 90-100 %
B = 80-89 %
C = 70-79%
D = 60-69%
F = Below 60%
I DO NOT curve the grades. For instance if you have 79.6% at the end of the semester, you
would receive a grade of “C” not a grade of “B”. I do not round up. Grades based on a point
system as follows:
Delivery Speech……….…… 25 points
Quiz, Final exam
Informational Speech ………125 points
In-class and out – of
Informational Speech 2 ……. 100 points
class assignments
Persuasive Speech ………….150 points
Impromptu Speech ……………5 points each
Peer Evaluations …................... 2 points each
Small Group Paper ………….100 points
APA …………………………. 80 points
Class Participation …………… 5 points each class period
Point value will
vary with quiz and
assignment
Speech Preparation:
You should expect to work several hours preparing each speech, and each speaking assignment
should be approached as a composition that requires fore thought, research, planning and
practice. You will be expected to display your understanding of the material provided you in all
your assignments.
Speech Outline: A formal manuscript outline and reference page will be required for 2 of the
major speeches and will be due on the day of your presentation and must be handed in
immediately before you speak. YOUR OUTLINE IS TO BE TYPED (if this
is going to be an on-going problem for you, please see me immediately).
All sources used in your speech must be included in your manuscript outline in standard
reference form (APA style). You may also be asked to hand in photocopies and/or printouts of
any sources you used for research on your topic. The thoroughness of your outline will be
figured into each speech grade. I will provide you with examples of what I consider an “A”
outline and a “C” outline. To receive full credit it is very important that you include all required
documents (references, outline, etc) on the assigned date.
Required Writing and Reading:
Students will read at least approximately 25-30 pages per week from the textbook or other
readings and will be asked to write evaluations of speakers.
In general, unless a worksheet, all assignments will be required to be typed in 12 point font with
appropriate margins. For example, the APA and manuscript outlines, and small group paper
would be assignments that would meet this requirement. Again, if I am unable to read your
handwriting, you will get no credit for that assignment.
Cell Phones, Pagers, and Watch Alarms:
All cell phones, pagers, wrist watch alarms, etc. that produce audible sounds to alert the user of incoming
calls, etc. are strictly PROHIBITED in the classroom. If your electronic device goes off during a
quiz/exam I will take the quiz/exam and your grade will be based on the questions you have completed up
to that point. Be considerate and respectful of those speaking – in essence, you are here to learn about
how to become more effective communicator, not talk or text on the cell phone, playing electronic games,
etc. during class. Having cell phones and other electronic devices go off during speeches and class time
are major distractions and only causes additional stress for the speaker and others in class.
Texting, playing games, etc. on your cell phone is not accepted and I consider it very RUDE. If I
see you engaging in this activity during class, you will simply lose participation points each day you
choose to engage in this type of behavior. .
Computers and Electronic Notebooks
You are more than welcomed to take notes on these electronic items. However, they are not to
be used during class to check your email, correspond on facebook, twitter, etc., nor are they to be
used to play games on during class. Again, this is simple not accepted. I consider it very
RUDE. When I see you engaging in this activity during class, you will lose participation points
for that day.
Classroom Behavior
It is very important to be respectful of everyone in this class. Respect has been defined by the
Heritage dictionary as: An act of showing consideration. Respect is characterized by or
showing politeness. Synonyms of respect – courteous, polite, civil, deferential.
Respectful classroom behavior is characterized by but not limited to at least the following:
1) DO NOT carry on secondary conversation with the person sitting next to you in class
during class time that is not related to classroom discussion. You may not be interested in
this class but others have paid for this class and needs this class to advance their job situation
or academic progress and they may be interested in this class. Engaging in outside of topic
conversation is not only disrespectful to those around you, but they have to not only deal with
trying to ignore your conversation that does not relate to class but also try to concentrate on
class material being discussed. If you plan to come to class only to meet with friends to
chit chat, this is not the class you should be taking.
2) DO NOT spend class time playing on your I-Phone, Blackberry, I-PAD, Galaxy Four phone,
or other electronic device in class.
3) DO NOT check on your e-mail, game stats, employees at work, etc. on any of your electronic
devices in class.
4) DO NOT spend class time watching video’s, TV programs, You-Tube, playing music, etc on
any of the numerous electronic devices that are out there.
5) DO NOT forget to silence your pager, watch alarm, electronic device while in class. If your
electronic device goes off during a quiz or exam, I will collect your test paper and your grade
will be based on what questions you have completed.
6) DO NOT walk in class while your peers are giving their speeches. Unfortunately, I now
have to lock the classroom door on days that speeches are given due to this problem of past
student. When you come to class late on speech days, wait in hallway and as soon as the
person delivering their speech, someone will open the door for you.
7) DO NOT walk out of class while your peers are giving their speeches. IF YOU DO your
final class grade will automatically be reduced by one grade. This means, if you were getting
an “A” in class, your will now be getting a “B”. This grade reduction will occur each time
you do this.
Note on Recycling Your Own Work: I’m not against you adapting material from other classes
in constructing your speeches, however, remember this is a speech class, so the paper you wrote
for another course will need appropriate preparation in order to properly present it in this class.
Expect to make some revisions and restructuring of the work if you decide to adapt material from
another class. I’ll discuss this in greater detail in class.
Delivering Your Speech: This is a speech class, therefore, plan to spend enough time outside of
class practicing your speech. The more you practice the material, the more comfortable you are
with the information. You may use note cards (a maximum of four [4] will be allowed), while
delivering your speech. However, since this is a speech class, DO NOT READ your speech to us.
Athletes
If you are a Heartland Community College or Illinois State University athlete and will be
missing class due to game conflicts it is your responsibility to notify me in advance.
Likewise, if your coach or academic services require having your grades reported at regular
intervals, again it is your responsibility to provide me with the appropriate grade report form a
minimum of 1 week before the grade form is to be submitted.
Military
If your are on inactive/active duty and are required during the semester to attend military
training, I am more than willing to work with you. However, the only documentation I require is
a copy of military orders verifying your need to attend this training.
Attendance/Participation:
The heart of learning and academic success takes place in the classroom, as such, classroom
attendance and participation is vital to student success. Therefore, every student at
Heartland Community College (HCC) must make classroom attendance a priority
In addition to preparing and developing one’s own speeches and other course work, Introduction
to Oral Communication involves listening to, responding to, and evaluating the speeches of other
students. As such, regular and attentive and active student participation is of primary
importance. Therefore, COMM 101 has a strict participation policy.
Part of participation includes not doing homework for another class, reading non
communication textbook, playing video games on calculators, Gameboys, cell phones,
IPAD’s etc. Nor does good participation include listening to your iPods, MP3 players, cell
phones, Shuffles, etc. during class. If you elect to engage in these activities, you will be
considered not able to participate and lose that class time participation points.
Withdrawal from class
According to ICCB, “A student is ‘in attendance at midterm ‘ in a course” only “if the
student is currently enrolled in and actively pursuing completion of the course.” Furthermore,
such a determination “must rely on the course section’s instructor’s assessment of the students’
pursuit of successful completion at the midpoint of the class.”
As such, HCC considers the following guidelines for the definition of “actively pursuing
…successful completion”
1) Students Grade
 Earning a successful grade
2) Student Attendance
 Missing less than an Instructor specified number of class periods.
3) Student Assignment Completion
 Completing Instructor specified number of assignments & activities
4) Student Engagement (including, but not limited to)
 Actively participating in course
 Maintaining contact with Instructor
Tardiness: You are expected to be in class on time. I realize due to the current parking problem
at Heartland, finding a place to park may cause a problem. However, plan accordingly. I will
allow you to arrive no later than 10 minutes once class has begun without a valid excuse, after
that, you will lose class participation points for day classes. Leaving more than 20 minutes
before class is over is also an instance you will lose class participation points for day classes.
Moreover, if you elect not to attend/participate in class on days you are scheduled to deliver a
speech will lose 5 points from your final speech grade for each day you are late in presenting
your speech. Exceptions may be made for extreme and verifiable circumstances (a medical
emergency verified with a doctor’s note, military assignment verified by your commanding
officer, etc.).
In general, every class period is very important. To receive the best grade possible, plan to come
to class each session on time and fully prepared to participate in class activities. Remember,
Communication 101 is just as important of a course as your other course(s) you may be
taking.
Incompletes: An incomplete grade may be given to a student who, by the withdrawal date, can
reasonably be expected to pass the course. Incompletes may be granted only when justified by
extreme circumstances (e.g., serious illness, accident, death or serious illness in the immediate
family). Incomplete grades are not given for such reasons as unjustified failure to appear for the
final examination. A written agreement, outline the requirements to be met, must be signed by
the instructor and the student. The agreed upon requirements must be completed no later than
the end of the following semester (spring semester for incompletes granted during the fall, and
the following fall for incompletes given during the spring and summer semesters). By the agreed
upon date, the instructor will assign a grade or the incomplete will be changed to an ‘F’ if the
requirements are not completed.
Extra Credit: If and when extra credit opportunities arise, I will provide you with the
information as far in advance of the event as possible. As a student, if you become aware of
an appropriate event that you feel would demonstrate/function as a relevant speech presentation model, please let me know as soon as possible. The number of extra credit
points given to events will vary.
Missing a speech and assignments policy:
1. Speeches: are due on the date they are assigned. Except in the case of extreme and
verifiable circumstances (see section on attendance for examples of such cases), it will be
difficult to make up missed speeches. Assignments are made well in advance, so look at the
course schedule NOW and notify me of any known conflicts.
2. Assignments: As a general rule, to receive full credit you must turn in all assignments, etc.
on the date due. If you are unable to meet this criterion for some reason, and if I allow you
to turn in work late, please do not depend strictly upon email to get the work to me.
Remember Murphy’s Law – if something bad can happen it will. In a nutshell – email often
fails!!! Any in-class activities conducted on days you are not present may or may not be able
to be made up so please check.
Student Conduct/Professionalism: Class will begin on time, so please plan accordingly.
1) Professionalism includes respecting others’ opinions, not interrupting in class, not
carrying on a side conversation with someone sitting close to you during class time, being
respectful to those who are speaking, and working together in a spirit of cooperation.
2) Should you need to miss a class or a group meeting, please extend myself and/or your
classmates the same courtesy and sense of responsibility you would extend to an
employer and contact us ahead of time of your absence.
3) On speech days, If someone is presenting, never walk in or leave while someone else is
giving their speech, please wait in the hallway until the speaker has finished. Walking in
or leaving while someone is speaking disrupts the speaking and learning process.
4) Dressing for Speeches: Students are expected to dress appropriately on the day of
speeches. T-shirts or sweatshirts with large logos are not a good idea, nor is the wearing
of hats during the presentation. If I feel your attire detracts from your message, points
will be deducted from your speech. However, if a particular mode of dress will
enhance/add positive impact to your topic – please see me in advance for pre-approval.
5) Firearms, Alcohols, and Narcotics: It is a state offense to bring firearms of any type to
campus. Under no conditions are firearms to be brought into the classroom or onto
campus. Students who bring firearms to campus are subject to arrest, fine and/or
imprisonment. The same applies to other weapons, to alcohol and to narcotics. Students
who bring any of the above to campus are subject to arrest.
Syllabi disclaimer Changes in this syllabus may be required for reasons unknown at this time - such as
Heartland closings, severe weather, progress in class, or other things. If and when changes to this syllabus
are required, I will notify you as far in advance as possible.
Notice of Canceled Class Sessions
Cancelled class sessions, for all HCC classes, will be listed under Cancelled Class Meetings in your
MyHeartland account. Go to http://www.heartland.edu/classCancellations/ to learn what classes have
been cancelled for that day and the upcoming week. Be sure to check the last column, which might
contain a message from the instructor.
In addition, if severe weather occurs, I suggest you also listen to WJBC for announcements of any
cancellations at Heartland.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a fundamental principle of collegial life at Heartland Community College
and is essential to the credibility of the College’s educational programs. Moreover, because
grading may be competitive, students who misrepresent their academic work violate the right of
their fellow students. The College, therefore, views any act of academic dishonest as a serious
offense requiring disciplinary measures, including course failure, suspension, and even expulsion
from the College. In addition, an act of academic dishonesty may have unforeseen effects far
beyond any officially imposed penalties.
Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to cheating, aiding or suborning cheating or
other acts of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, misrepresentation of data, falsification of academic records
or documents and unauthorized access to computerized academic or administrative records or systems.
Definitions of these violations may be found in the college catalog.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the presenting of others’ ideas as if they were your own. When you write a paper,
create a project, do a presentation or create anything original, it is assumed that all the work,
except for that which is attributed to another author or creator, is your own. Plagiarism is
considered a serious academic offense and may take the following forms:
 Copying word-for-word from another source and not giving that source credit.
 Paraphrasing the work of another and not giving that source credit.
 Adopting a particularly apt phrase as your own.
 Using an image or a copy of an image without crediting its source.
 Paraphrasing someone else’s line of thinking in the development of a topic as if it
were your own.
 Receiving excessive help from a friend or elsewhere, or using another project as if it
were your own.
[Adapted from the Modern Language Association’s MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. New
York: MLA, 1995: 26]
Note that word-for-word copying is not the only form of plagiarism. The penalties for plagiarism may be
severe, ranging from failure on the particular piece of work, failure in the course or expulsion from school
in extreme cases.
Many plagiarism problems can be remedied by citing the sources of the original work.
When in doubt, cite the source according to the style your instructor directs. I require you to cite sources
/using the APA. Don’t be daunted by citing sources which are not books. You can cite everything –
including pamphlets, maps, cereal boxes, telephone conversations, movies, television shows, Internet and
world-wide web sites.
Most cases of plagiarism arise from carelessness or haste. Violators often attempt to excuse themselves
by saying that they were not told of the nature of plagiarism. You have been told. You must not include
either the phrases or ideas of another writer in your papers without acknowledgment. Otherwise, you are
stealing. Plagiarism is dishonest. It is cheating and is subject to severe penalties. It may endanger your
whole career. Don’t do it.
