CMST 2060 Chapter : Fall 2017 CMST 2060 PUBLIC SPEAKING
Document Summary
Required texts: lucas, stephen e. (2015) the art of public speaking (12th ed). Cmst 2060 is a general education humanities course designed to familiarize students with the study and practice of public speaking. The act of public speaking is the culmination (and often the beginning) of a long process of critical dialogue between oneself, language, and the imagined responses of the audience. In other words, it takes being confident in who you are, what you want to say, how you are going to say it, who you want to say it to, and why you should say anything at all. Throughout the semester, students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of public speaking. As a general education humanities course, cmst 2060 will enable students to demonstrate an understanding of historical, cultural, and philosophical complexity that supports sophisticated discourse production and analysis. Attendance & participation: to speak is to do.
