When

Wed. Jan 18, 2023 - Wed. Apr 26, 2023 (15 weeks)
Every Monday, Wednesday from 3:30 PM to 4:45 PM

An inquiry-based approach to the development of a confident, engaging, and ethical public speaking style. Beyond practical skills, this course emphasizes rhetorical thinking: what are the conventions of public speaking? Where are there opportunities to deviate from convention in ways that might serve a speech's purpose? How might we construct an audience through the ways we craft language and plan the delivery of our speech?
