Oral: There will be 5 opportunities for you to experience different public speaking situations including: special occasion/informative (100), persuasive with visual support (150), Group persuasive to motivate to take action (200) & Acceptance of an Award (100) & and Exit speech (50). Typed analytical outlines will be required for all of the presentations and are due on the day of presentation submission. Late outline submission will not be accepted. Specific instructions will be given before each assignment and the specific points for each part of the assignment.
Written: There will be 3 written exercises to be completed. These are designed to demonstrate your knowledge of listening skills and self-evaluation skills through critical thinking reflection. (20 pts. each) 2 Self-Critique Forms that are filled out when you observe your recorded speeches and 1 outside of class Listening Observations Report over live speeches not recorded events. A 2nd Listening Report is Optional Bonus (10pts) An Ethics Analysis Essay is connected to the group persuasive speech S-3.
Exams: There will be 2 exams, a mid-term and a final. Both will be objective tests. It is a requirement to take both exams. The midterm has two parts: Part I is over the Lecture material (audio lectures and Lecture Packet pages 3-43) and Part II is over the textbook material covered in the Pre-Test (Use Pre-Post Test Textbook Review Sheet to study and prepare). The Final Exam has three parts and you are required to take all three parts. 2 parts Textbook and 1 part last Lecture material. There are NO RE-TESTS or Re-taking of quizzes or exams.

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. You?re My Grades in Blackboard will show you a total of your acquired scores.
Course Policies
Instructor Policies * I will not discuss your grades over the phone or by email. If you want to discuss your grades, you must come to my office, in person.
* 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.
* 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 Success Center, but that must be arranged with Dr. Stafford in advance.
* 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. No SHOW means NO SCORE!!!
* If there is any student in this class who has need for test-taking accommodations, please contact me with the appropriate documentation from the Disability Services Office (984- 6241)
* Cell Phones & IPODS: Turn off all communication devices that make noise during class. No Texting or Listening to Music during class. No doing other subjects homework during class. No Computers on during lecture. You will lose Audience Etiquette points if this policy is violated.
* Sleeping in class means you are absent and lose the points for that day.
* Do not submit assignments through email; they must be submitted within Blackboard.
* Last but not least, I (Dr. Stafford) am not your technical support. If your home computer goes down make other arrangements to complete your assignments. (Try public libraries, coming to computer labs on campus, or get with a friend and use their machine). If your Internet goes down try web connected coffee shops or businesses (some are open 24/7). It is your responsibility to maintain computer connections.
Attendance Policy Attendance & Make-Up Policy: 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 school approved team activities (with prior notification, 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, so use your three hours of possible excused absence wisely. Course work is still due on assigned dates. If you miss a performance date ? no guaranteed make up available. No Show-No Points! (Use computers on campus or at local shops with WiFi service.)
Research has shown a cause and effect relationship between attendance and college success. Multiple assignments are due each week. If you miss 4 days I recommend you drop the class because you will have missed too much to succeed. After a student has missed the submission of 2 speeches or more than 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 two weeks you can receive an F for insufficient work. There are 140 pts assigned to your total Audience Conduct Attendance /Participation and when you violate the expectations of the approved behavior in class you will lose points at the discretion of the Professor. Attendance = 80 points of your total grade 16 weeks @ 5 points each: Late to class you lose 1 points for that day. (3 Quizzes total 20 points; & Participatory points from participation on 4 discussion board Forums are worth 40 points.)
Academic Honesty Academic honesty is expected from all students, and dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Please consult the LSC-PA policies (Section IX, subsection A, in the Faculty Handbook) for consequences of academic dishonesty.
Facility Policies
  1. No food or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom.

  2. Only students enrolled in the course are allowed in the classroom, except by special instructor permission.

  3. Use of electronic devices is prohibited.

Other If you forget your password or have log in problems call Kenneth Lisbey at 409-984-6150. (8-5pm week days only)
1.    Give the Speaker / Professor your complete attention. (This means look at the person who is talking so you get the complete message.) No Computers ON!
2.    Arrive on time or early and do not interrupt a student speaker. (Wait quietly at the door until the student finishes and then quietly take your seat. Do not cross in front of the camera while filming.) Do not let the door slam as you enter.
3.    Turn off cell phone or have them on silent. (vibrate still makes a disruptive noise). No Laptops or Computers used during lecture. If phones are out, you will be asked to put them in your backpack; second request you will be considered absent with no opportunity to make up the work or points for that day. Additional loss of Conduct Points will be deducted from this category.
4.    Do not work on homework of any subject matter during this class period.
5.    Do not talk to your table mate while the speaker/ Professor is speaking. If you have a question for the Professor simple raise your hand and get the answer from the source.
6.    Avoid excessive crinkling sounds of paper, wrappers, and pens or any other disruptive noises. Avoid distracting a speaker with improper feedback to waste class time. You will lose Conduct Points if you disrupt the Professor or a student speaker.
7. When you show a lack of respect points will be taken from the points in your Attendance/Conduct grade. How many points deducted is at the discretion of the Professor based on how disruptive the action is. Cell phone use and coming in late interrupting a speaker are the most expensive violations. And yes, you can go into the negative numbers.
8. During student presentations the audience will have listening tasks and response sheets to turn in so your attendance is a requirement in this course.
9. Any missed work due to disciplinary suspensions are lost points which can-not be made up. Your behavior is your choice. Choose Wisely!
Check your Blackboard Class Announcements for messages from me about class materials.    Check your MyLamarpa email often for campus updates.
