OK gang, here it is

I'm teaching speech and communication. I'll have 3 sections.

Speech 101, Intro to Public Speaking. I strongly suggest that those of you who are less than comfortable speaking in front of other people take this class. There will be no heckling.

Speech 201 Advanced Public Speaking is designed for those of you who don't get nervous, but still sound more like George Bush rather than George Stephanopoulos in front of a crowd.

Speech 301 Interpersonal Communication is more theory based, and will look at how people communicate with one another.

I will not tolerate anything out of the normal. It messes with my zen. So no, you know, psychic powers or crying and begging. Sucking up is ok though.

OK, next. I don't have a syllabus. Show up, do the work, improve, you get an A. Don't show up, don't work, don't improve, get an F. Rarely show up, do half assed work, and suck up...hmm...probably still have to fail you, but I will think fondly of you when you're gone. Is that enough for you?

Just so we're absolutely clear, you'll be doing S-P-E-E-C-H-E-S. Hence, public speaking. You'll be persuading...mostly. You'll have to spin some stuff to. And depending on my mood, I might teach you how to woo, but probably not since you're all far too young and wooing is a very dangerous skill in the wrong hands.

Ok, since we think best in the mornings, 101 is at 8am MWF, 201 is at 9am MTR, and 301 will be daily at 10.

If there's an interest, I am willing to head up a debate club too.

Ok guys, thanks. That's a full lid. I'll let you know if anything else comes up.

*eyes the syllabus*

...301 for me, I believe.

I'd like to register for Speech 301 - Interpersonal Communication.

I think it would be beneficial to me as a budding detective to learn how people communicate with each other.

Ms. Cregg, it's an honor. Is that Prada? It's lovely on you. Dressing for height is always a challenge, isn't it? *sighs, looks own very-tall form*

Ahem. I would appreciate it if you would add me to the roster for Speech 201. While I have public speaking experience, I would like more expertise in sounding "natural" among people of different backgrounds. Lawyers vs. normal people, etcetera.

Ms. Cregg? IC conflicts with my Government 1 class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I thought I should talk to you rather than prof. Padme since your classes are daily and hers are twice weekly. Her classes are from 10:45-11:15, so would it be acceptable to leave 15 minutes early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, providing we aren't in the middle of anything, in which case I'll ask prof. Padme if notes excusing lateness will be accepted?

Thanks Professor - I'm looking forward to the class!

This year's collection is *so* much better than last year's. I am hoping that Diplomacy class will allow me to-- finesse? *smile* such souvenirs myself.

Speech 201, please.

... and naturally I've double-booked. Ms Cregg, would it be possible for me to arrive late on Mondays, or attend on Tuesdays and Thursdays only?
