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.

I'll take 201 for a thousand Alex. I'm great at speaking, really, it's just the big words that trip me. Like "the" and "kitchen."

I was ruimte_aap but the chara's already a teacher here so he's been unenrolled.

I would like to sign up for the Speech 101 class. I am very good at talking to people one-on-one but it is a little harder to talk to whole groups of people because they try to grab me and are shouting my name all of the time because I am so popular!

I'll take Speech 201

Is it too late for me to sign up for 301?

*For those unable to see things magically based: A chill seems to fall over the area, and all in the area are acutely aware of their own mortality. There is also a small kitten rubbing against something unseen*



*There is the subtle feeling that a yes answer may be beneficial to the issuer in the future*

*The room suddenly seems much warmed and, somehow, the colors brighter*

Hi, I'm new. My name is Allison Cameron. Is Speech 301 still open for enrollment?

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-09-12 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Is 301 still open for enrollement? If so, I'd like to sign up.

And I'd also be interested in the debate club. It can't be worse than the United Nations...

I apologize for the late add. I was unable to enroll the first day because Xander and I were having amazing sex.

Everyone around me seems to imply that I have difficulty communicating with them, and I need another class worry that it might make future customers give me less money. I would therefore like to take your class, 301, that is, if that is alright with you, that is. Ma'am.

Let's try this 201 thing. I think the real challenge here will be getting me to shut the hell up. ;)

Debate club? Bring it on!

Professor Cregg,

I would like to join COM 201 and 301, if there are any open chairs.
