Objectives/Competencies/General Education Competencies
Upon course completion, the student should be able to:
 Demonstrate an understanding of the communication process. Since the communication process is
the foundation of the entire class, this competency will be assessed through classroom exercises,
quizzes, midterm exam and a final exam.
 Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of effective and ethical public speaking. This
competency assessed by oral presentations and evaluation forms.
 Collect, analyze, and select information for focused presentations, and will submit that information
in outline form. This competency assessed by evaluation forms or rubric.
 Deliver assigned presentations. This competency accessed by oral presentations and speech
evaluation form.
 Develop critical listening and analytical skills. This competency assessed by exams, evaluation form
or rubric, and an interactive word wall.
 Critique presentations of classmates, identifying organization, key points, supportive material, and
sources. This competency assessed by peer evaluation form for presentation.
 Identify flaws in logic, unsupported claims, and biased sources. This competency assessed by class
discussion and exams.
General Education Competencies:
The KCTCS Community College Catalog 2006-2007 states that upon completion of an associate degree the graduate will be able to:
I. Communicate Effectively.
1. Read and listen with comprehension.
2. Speak and write clearly using Standard English.
3. Interact cooperatively with others using both verbal and nonverbal means.
4. Demonstrate information processing through basic computer skills.
Method of assessment: Learners will be given reading assignments each day and will study in depth the process of communication, good
listening skills, and verbal and nonverbal messages as they apply to our study. Learners will address this competency by writing both
preliminary outlines and formal outlines for the informative and persuasive speeches, using the MLA documentation style. The preliminary
outline will be a written proposal of the speech topic, central, and main points. This outline will be used to help plan each speech, and the
formal outline will be submitted prior to presenting. This activity will enhance the learner’s ability to become cognizant of grammar and
writing skills. Learners will utilize computer skills to type this assignment, giving the learner the opportunity to edit as appropriate. We will use
the Frayer Model, Anticipation Guide, and other strategies as we work on these competencies. This competency will be accessed by exams,
classroom exercises and presentations (speaking), and the formal outline will be graded based on an evaluation form.
II. Think Critically
1. Make connections in learning across the disciplines and draw logical conclusions.
2. Demonstrate problem solving through interpreting, analyzing, summarizing, and/or integrating a variety of materials.
3. Use mathematics to organize, analyze, and synthesize data to solve a problem.
Method of assessment : In COM 181, critical thinking skills are taught more so than public speaking.. The learner chooses a topic, researches
the topic, organizes and analyses the information. This competency will be addressed through the process of building different type speeches.
The learner will select a topic, determine its purpose and choose supporting material to prove the idea, take broad ideas and reduce them into
specific points, organize the ideas into logical order, prepare a works cite page using MLA style, and then present the speech. This very process
will mandate creativity, and will help to develop personal confidence. Critical thinking skills are taught at the very beginning of the semester
and become the foundation for the class. As the learner participates in class discussions and activities, he/she will become aware of the public
speaking process and gain the multi skills that are required to speak publicly. The learner will have the opportunity to view the styles of
different speakers, and will submit one critique of the presentation of their peers. As the learners research their chosen topics, they will apply
skills that will lead them into the presenting of informative, persuasive, impromptu, extemporaneous, and videotaped speeches. Also, various
communication concepts will be incorporated into this class, i.e., the process, ethical listening guidelines for both the speaker and the listener.
The learner will be tested on the reliability and objectivity of sources, and on the logic of persuasion. Mathematics is not applicable to this
study. This competency will be accessed by exams, peer evaluation for presentation, participation in interactive activities, grading of researched
information based on evaluation form and/or rubric, and oral presentations.
III. Learn Independently
1. Use appropriate search strategies and resources to find, evaluate, and use information.
2. Make choices based upon awareness of ethics and differing perspectives/ideas.
3. Apply learning in academic, personal, and public situations.
4. Think creatively to develop new ideas, processes, or products.
Method of assessment:
Once the learner selects the topic for his/her informative and persuasive speech, they will research information
to support their specific purpose statement. They will evaluate the information, and then integrate old information with their new found
information and create new ideas, sometimes even “changing their mind” based on research, and will gain credibility by presenting both
written and spoken documentation according to the MLA style.. Ethical guidelines are taught for both speaker and listener in the presenting
context. The very nature of the class enhances the students’ life in a personal, professional and public way. They will be able to present their
thoughts in an organized way and develop a skill of being able to “say what they mean to say.” This competency will be accessed by oral
presentations and an evaluation form.
IV. Examine Relations in Diverse and Complex Environments
1. Recognize the relationship of the individual to human heritage and culture.
2. Demonstrate an awareness of the relationship of the individual to the biological and physical environment.
3. Develop an awareness of self as an individual member of a multicultural global community.
Method of assessment:
The learner will select one of the following topics to present: 1) The Power of Positive Thinking; 2) Respect;
3) Responsibility; 4) Change. 5) The Power of Gratitude.. The learner is encouraged to “go inside themselves,” inside their very own culture,
and use this class to examine any dream they may have, and to bring that awareness out in a spoken way. They then will be encouraged to
participate in a presentation wherein they will “step into the future” and think that “if tonight were the night I would receive the award for the
work I had done to achieve a high purpose in life” then one learner presents and one learner accepts. This activity, along with other topics
Syllabus Format, 7/28/2008

that are chosen for strong research and personal purpose helps the learner to have a greater awareness in diverse and complex
environments…encouraging the learner to become what they are seeking in the world. I have a very strong passion to help the student in this
area… Participation in or attending an “Evening of Oratory” becomes an opportunity for the learner. This competency will be accessed by oral
presentation in class..
Attendance Policy
Since speech communication involves class participation, i.e., speaking, listening, writing, and evaluating, the learner will be expected to attend
all class meetings. The attendance and participation of everyone does affect the entire class.

After each chapter, or each concept studied, there will be a quiz…..there will be no specific format….the points for the quiz will only
be available for that day. Please do not ask otherwise. Yes, this concept can create a change in your grade.

If you are late arriving, it is your responsibility to ask the instructor to note your attendance.

Assignments must be on time…….Any makeup work (includes tests/speeches) is to be approved by the instructor. When you know
you will be missing a class, then let me know as soon as possible (before time, unless emergency). If an emergency, a written excuse
will be required in order to make up a test or speech (I do understand life). Please do not ask to make up your work if you have not
met these criteria. I ask you to present your assignments in a mature, caring responsible manner just as if you were showing up for a
job.

Always plan on attending class when it is your speaking turn and when presentations are in progress! If you are late and
presentations are in progress, WAIT until the speaker finishes to enter the classroom Being punctual can help you. Remember
that with no absences, and good participation, the student will receive 10 extra points added to his/her total score!
Inclement Weather Policy
During periods of inclement weather, all courses scheduled BEFORE 9:30 a.m., will be cancelled. Learners will be
asked to report at 9:30 for their 9:30 courses. The courses that are cancelled will be made up according to a manner
that the individual faculty member has determined and which has been approved in advance by the appropriate
Division Chair and Dean; this makeup policy should be clearly stated in the course syllabus. (When and if our class is
affected by the weather, I will place an announcement on Blackboard of the assignment expected and it can be
submitted online. If the assignment is an in-class presentation, there will be a special date noted on the class outline
to meet this need)
Academic Honesty Policy
KCTCS faculty and Learners are bound by principles of truth and honesty that are recognized as fundamental for a
community of teachers and scholars. The college expects Learners and faculty to honor, and faculty to enforce, these
academic principles. The college affirms that it will not tolerate academic dishonesty including, but not limited to,
violation of the academic rights of Learners (section 2.0) and Learner offenses (section 3.0).

and up until the last day of course, any Learner may officially request a W grade, which may be given at the discretion
of the instructor. Each instructor shall state on the first or second course meeting the factors to be used in
determining the assignment of a W grade during the discretionary period. An instructor shall not assign a Learner a
W grade for a course unless the Learner has officially withdrawn from that course. If Learners do not officially
withdraw before the last day of course, they must receive a grade of “E”.

Other Class Policies
The KCTCS faculty and students are bound by principles of truth and honesty that are recognized as fundamental for a community of
teachers and scholars. The college expects students and faculty to honor, and faculty to enforce, these academic principles. The college
affirms that it will not tolerate academic dishonesty including, but not limited to, violation of academic rights of students (section 2.0)
and student offenses (section 3.0)
For the complete policy, please reference the KCTCS Code of Student Conduct which can be found either at the Student Affairs Office
or at the following URL: http://www.kctcs.edu/student/code.htm. (note that this is a .pdf document and Adobe Acrobat is required to
open it.
Cheating and Plagiarism: Please see Article III, Sections 3.1 and 3.2, in the Code of Student Conduct. As stated:
3.1 Plagiarism: All academic work, written or otherwise, submitted by a student to an instructor or other academic supervisor, is expected
to be the result of the student’s own thought, research, or self-expression. In any case in which a student feels unsure about a question of
plagiarism involving the student’s work, the student is obliged to consult the instructor on the matter before submitting it.
When a student submits work purporting to be the student’s own, but which in any way borrows ideas, organization, wording or
anything else from another source without appropriate acknowledgement of the fact, the student is guilty of plagiarism.
Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else’s work, whether it be a published article, chapter of a book, a paper from a friend or
some file, or whatever. Plagiarism also includes the practice of employing or allowing another person to alter or revise the work which a student
submits as the student’s own, whoever that other person may be. Students may discuss assignments among themselves or with an instructor or
tutor, but when the actual work is done, it must be done by the student and the student alone.
When a student’s assignment involves research in outside sources of information, the student must carefully acknowledge exactly
what, where and how the student has employed them. If the student uses words of someone else, the student must put quotation marks around
the passage in question and add an appropriate indication of their origin. Making simple changes while leaving the organization, content, and
phraseology intact, is plagiarist. However, nothing in these Rules shall apply to those ideas which are so generally and freely circulated as to be
part of the public domain. Any question of definition shall be referred to the Community College Appeals Board.
3.2 Cheating: Cheating is defined by its general usage. It includes, but is not limited to, wrongfully giving, taking or presenting any
information or material by a student with the intent of aiding the student or another on any academic work. Any question of definition shall be
referred to the Community College Appeals Board.
Classroom Environment: A communication classroom requires a supportive environment in which students learn presentation
speaking strategies and skills. When listening to others students speak, be attentive and encouraging. Poor listening
habits or distracting behaviors may result in a reduction in your grade. While listening to student’s presentations, you
will be expected to complete at least one peer evaluation form.
Writing: Spelling and grammar count. All work must be typed; no hand-written materials. Make sure your name is on
every written assignment.
Missed Classes: You are responsible for knowing what is done in class even if you are absent. Find a reliable classmate to
call if you miss class.
Cell phones to be kept on silent and put away while class is in session …if there is an emergency
that requires you to take a call, then please let me know and you can sit on the front in order
that you can leave and take the call….no text messaging in class…points will be lost if this
happens
Ethics/Values: "To demonstrate an awareness of ethical considerations in making value choices." Students will become aware of ethical
choices as they build their research and during their presentations. In order to avoid plagiarism during their presentations, the student will
become aware of giving appropriate credit to the source wherein they gained their information. The course addresses ethical issues of both the
speaker and the listener.
Ethics also applies to the expected behavior of professionalism in the college classroom. Examples include each student’s responsibility to have
and bring his/her own supplies to class (text, pencil/pens, paper, etc), each student’s responsibility for personal hygiene, each student’s
responsibility to dress in a way that demonstrates respect for others, each student’s responsibility to keep cell phone put away in class, and each
student’s responsibility and opportunity to participate in class in a respectable way that will bring new insight to the content we are studying.

Remember: In this class, you will be both the speaker and the audience. It is important that you pay close attention to the guidelines that
apply to both. It is often stated that public speaking is a class that is dreaded and put off to the very last…..but remember that this is a class
that you can take with you everywhere you go…..in everything you do in life! It will make a difference in your public life, your personal life,
and your professional life!
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this very important time in your life. This is the class that changed my mind about my career…I hope it will
make a difference in your life, too!! During this class, we will study the term “perception.” Whatever my “perception” of life, or the “way I think” will ultimately
determine my destiny. Marcy Moore
