2 Textbook Requirements: * O’Hair, Dan. A Pocket Guide to Public Speaking. 4th ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s , 2013. ISBN: 978-1-319-00056-1 LaunchPad code. It has an access code that will be used in class. Don’t buy a used book with an invalid code. *Working Guide to Communication Success. Dr. Laura Stafford, 11th ed. 2012. (The Lecture packet pages will be on the Lamarpa.edu Blackboard course site in each weekly Learning Module. Some pages are modified for the online class.) The lecture packet has all the required lecture notes that will be tested in the Midterm Exam and the format guidelines and critique sheets that are necessary for each assignment. Print the pages weekly and put in a 3 –Ring binder! You need a hard copy to have in front of you when listening to online lectures that have you expand the written notes. I recommend you have both a pen and highlighters available when taking notes from the audio lectures. |

| Attendance Policy |
Attendance & Make-Up Policy: Research has shown a cause and effect relationship between attendance and college success. Online students must log in activity at least once a week. Multiple assignments are due each week. If you do not log in for 3 weeks I recommend you drop the class because you will have missed too much to succeed. After a student has missed the submission of 2 speech videos or more that 4 written assignments the professor may drop the student officially from the class with the grade you have earned, which may be an “F”. This may affect your financial aid status and if this instructor initiated drop occurs after the first six weeks you can receive an “F” for insufficient work. Online Attendance is a required aspect of this course and the student is responsible for the work that is due on the specific dates, which appear on the agenda calendar. This course recognizes court appearance and personal hospitalization as excused absences, not work, or doctor’s appointments, Or waking up feeling “under the weather”, or the Internet went down. Course work is still due on assigned dates (Use computers on campus or at local shops with WiFi service. There are 70 pts assigned to your Audience Etiquette Attendance/Participation and when you violate the expectations of the approved behavior online you will lose points at the discretion of the Professor. There are 3 quizzes over the audio lectures that contribute to this category of points as well. There are Participatory assignments weekly that will contribute to this grade category. Class Honesty Policy: Plagiarism in presentations will not be acceptable. The oral or written work will not be accepted and the points for that assignment will be forfeited. Protect yourself by documenting and giving credit to the source of your material. Do not use other students’ outlines or observation reports, they are recognizable. Do not read internet articles as your speech. That earns a zero. Cheating on exams will result in a grade of zero for that exam. Quizzes and Exams are not open book. |

| Determination of Final Grade |
650 points Oral Assignments 80 points Written Assignments 200 points Exams 70 points Attendance/Participation/Quizzes 1000 points total. In Dr. Stafford's class you will be graded with actual points not percentages. Punctual completion of each assignment earns you a number of real points which you will add up to total your final grade. There will be no curving. There will be no make up exam given in class time, in extreme cases it may be possible to take the mid-term exam in the Student Learning Center, but that must be arranged with Dr. Stafford in advance. There are NO RE-TESTS. If you know in advance that you will miss a performance day then discuss arrangements with Dr. Stafford to fit your performance within the schedule. As a performance class it is vital that you are prepared to give your presentation on the 1st day of the assigned round. There are limited days for the completion of the performance and everyone must be ready to present on the 1st day of the round. The order of presentation is up to the Professor so you must be in attendance and ready to perform on performance days. There is no guarantee that there will be any class time available to present a speech outside of the assigned days on the agenda calendar. It is your responsibility to follow the agenda calendar and be ready to present. All typed outlines are due on the 1st day of the round or a loss of points will occur on that assignment. No SHOW means NO SCORE!!! If there is any student in this class who has need for test-taking accommodations, please feel free to come and discuss this with me. |

| Calendar of Lecture Topics and Major Assignment Due Dates |
Dr. Laura Stafford: Fall 2015 Agenda (PG/PS4) Public Speaking 1315-73 On-Line Lecture/Assignments (Each week is designated on the Blackboard Learn Menu in first the Getting Started Week 1 link and the rest are in the Weekly Learning Modules link. It is your responsibility to complete the material and submit required papers and videos on the due dates listed below.) Losing Internet connect is not an excuse. Go to a Library, Campus Computer Lab, or WiFi Coffee shop to complete your online assignments. As an online class you must be able to access your MyLamarpa account. Must print your lecture packet pages to follow the Audio lectures to make notes for the test and projects. You must complete the entire Online Assignment before the next week. TB = Textbook; LP = Lecture Packet; BB = Blackboard Learn. Must have access code to textbook website Launchpad to submit your speech videos. Remember to arrange for your 5 adult audience members in enough time to submit the project on time. You should have a Gmail account to access You Tube to compress your speech videos to upload to the textbook site and create a Google Hangout for group discussion. Week 1 (Read TB Chapters 1, 2 & 3) Aug. 24 through Aug. 30 (Assignments may be submitted early but all are due by Aug. 30 at 11:59) Log into BB – on the left hand menu select the link Video Requirements to read what your video files formats can be in. Next: • Read Greeting Message, Then select “Start Here Week 1” – read and follow the instructions on each page to complete the week’s tasks. o Take the Pre- Test Quiz (very short you are not supposed to know it at this time, low score is ok.) o Read & Print the Syllabus, then take the Syllabus Quiz (participatory points 1) o Read, Print & Sign Netiquette Statement, then submit the scanned & signed document. (1) o Listen to Audio Questionnaire Instructions & Submit the assignment. (2) o Open Register on the textbook website LaunchPad– 73 Online Fall Folder; using the code that came with your textbook. There are 2 Assignments to complete on Launchpad: Watch the Example Identification Video from Dr. Stafford Read how to upload your videos and register for LaunchPad; upload & submit your Identification Video on the Assignment through You Tube account instructions. (6) Read the Library Orientation Discussion Board Assignment Instruction Page & submit your discussion response on Blackboard o Open the Unit 1 Folder Communication Theory Listen to the Instructions for Audio Lecture Files Print the Lecture Packet –LP p. 1-4 (Start your 3 ring binder of Lecture Notes which will be the material for your midterm exam.) Listen to all the sections (7 audio lectures) covering the notes on LP p. 3-4. o Open Textbook Reading & Review Questions Folder Print the Pre/Post Test Questions and Review Questions for each Chapter for Final Exam. For this week focus on Reading and finding the answers to questions for Chapters 1-3. On Campus, August 26th Wednesday at 5:30 pm ONLINE ORIENTATION at Gates Memorial Library Computer Lab. Bring Ear buds if you come, so you can get most of the above items done this day. Must have valid LSCPA ID. I recommend that you set aside a specific time each week to work on your assignments and spend 60 to 75 minutes per session at least 3 times a week. I cover 2-3 lecture packet pages per on campus class period. This is just the lecture audio portion of the course. Reading the textbook and finding the answers to the review questions would take additional time. Preparing your speeches and practice time would take 1-2 hours. Remember you have to gather your 5 audience members and film your presentation and allow for time to upload the film all before the due dates. Structure your week accordingly (5-6 hours per week) and keep in mind that last minute issues may come up, but due dates are set. This is not a self-paced class. In the business world when you miss a sales appointment that is money down the drain; here those are points lost. KEY: Yellow Highlight indicates Submit work.

| ADA Considerations | The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities.

| Copyright Violations |
Some material in this course may be copyrighted. They may be used only for instructional purposes this semester,
by students enrolled in this course. These materials are being used fairly and legally.
No one may distribute or share these copyrighted materials in any medium or format with anyone outside this class,
including publishing essays with copyrighted material, uploading copyrighted material to Facebook or YouTube, or
painting or performing copyrighted material for public display.
Copyright violation is not the same thing as plagiarism. Plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty. Offenses of plagiarism result in lower grades or failing scores, and professors and the college strictly enforce plagiarism rules. There is never any acceptable use of plagiarism. Copyright violation is a legal offense, punishable by large fines and penalties. Copyrighted material can be used if permission from the material’s creator is obtained, or if its use meets the standards of fair use in an educational setting. For example, a student can quote a line from Shakespeare’s Hamlet in a report without violating copyright but still be guilty of plagiarism if the quotation is not properly documented. If you are in doubt about what material can be freely used, ask your professor or contact the Dean of Library Services, at (409) 984-6216. |

| Assessment Statement |
Assessment is a process by which LSCPA can help you learn better and gauge the level of progress you have made to
attain knowledge, skills, beliefs, and values. It also helps your professors understand how to improve teaching
and testing methods in your classes, and it helps each department understand and improve degree and certificate
programs.
Periodically LSC-PA will collect assessment data for research and reporting purposes, including statistical data and sometimes copies of your work. Be assured that all material the college uses for assessment purposes will be kept confidential. To ensure anonymity, your name will be removed from any material we use for assessment purposes, including video-recorded performances, speeches, and projects. If you object to allowing LSC-PA to use your material for assessment purposes, submit a letter stating so to your professor by the 12th class day. You will still be required to participate in whatever assessments are being done; we just won’t use your data. What’s the difference between assessment and grades? The grades you get on papers, projects, speeches, and assignments are specific types of focused assessment. LSC-PA’s assessment efforts include class grades, surveys, standardized tests, and other tools. |

information. The note must specify what information may be divulged, and it must specify the name of the person
to whom the information may be given.
