COM* 173H: Honors Public Speaking3 Credits
This course in public speaking will involve the development of individual oral communication skills through persuasive, informative and epideictic (ceremonial) speeches, and will also emphasize the importance of public speaking in a democratic society. Since ancient Greek and Roman times, public speaking has been taught both as the foundation of a liberal education and as an essential skill of democratic leadership. While standard sections of COM* 173 focus on general public speaking skills, in this Honors section of COM* 173 students will be asked to also analyze the speeches of historical and contemporary speakers in order to develop a greater appreciation of the importance of public speaking in professional, personal and civic life. Students taking this course should have at least some familiarity with public speaking, but extensive experience is not required. Students who are eligible for ENG* 101 and who welcome an increased level of challenge should sign up for this Honors section.
Prerequisites: Eligibility for ENG* 101
