Course Description:

ENG 111 is a public speaking course designed to develop self-confidence through several types of speaking situations: formal, informal, and impromptu. Students learn how to analyze an audience and how to prepare an effective presentation through research and use of visual aids. In addition, students learn to develop listening skills and a greater command of the English language. Constructive evaluation and videotaping of student speeches lead to self-improvement.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, students should demonstrate the following competencies:

1. The ability to be poised when speaking before of a group.

2. The ability to use the English language effectively.

3. The ability to demonstrate good listening skills.

4. The ability to analyze an audience and respond to it.

5. The ability to do research and to use technology in speech making.

6. The ability to understand the importance of ethics in speech making.

7. The ability to design and use professional visual aids.

Visual/Audio Aids for Speeches

Textbook(s):

Beebe, Steven A., and Susan J. Beebe. PUBLIC SPEAKING AN AUDIENCE-CENTERED APPROACH. Seventh ed. Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 2009

· Students are required to use book identified for the course. Students are expected to purchase the textbook and all other required materials for the course the first week of class. If students purchase these items from other sources and do not receive them in a timely matter, extensions for late work will be at the discretion of the instructor.

Attendance Policy:

The attendance policy is strict because your success in the course depends on your ability to participate in all classroom activities. You will fail the course if you miss three classes during the semester. Furthermore, if you are not prepared for class (i.e., you have not completed an assignment) or you are consistently late for class, you will not receive full credit for attendance. Two late arrivals to class will constitute one absence.

Instructor’s Additional Attendance Policy:

This is a highly participatory class; therefore, attendance is expected. One cannot participate if one is absent. A student may miss up to two (2) classes for extenuating circumstances, provided the student notify me prior to 12:00 pm on the day of the absence. Please email me with your reason for absence. I will respond to your email within 24 hours. Or, call my cell phone. Leave a message if I do not answer; I will return your call. If you absolutely must miss a class session when an assignment is due (in the world in which we live, extenuating circumstances do occur), arrangements can be made for you to deliver your speech on an alternate date, but I must be notified at least 24 hours in advance of an absence—NO EXCEPTIONS!!!. If a student intends to withdraw from the course, the student must officially withdraw from the course to avoid course failure.

LCCC’s Withdrawal Policy:

If you choose to withdraw from this course, you must submit written paperwork to the Enrollment Services Office, AD123. The last day to withdraw with an automatic “W” is within the first five weeks of class for a 15 week class, but will vary for a 12, 9, or 6 week class. If you drop credits or withdraw from all courses financial aid will be adjusted and a balance may be owed to the college. Students with all Ws, Ys, Zs, or Fs, at the end of the semester who have not formally withdrawn will have their financial aid adjusted to the mid point of the semester which may create a balance due at the college or a grant overpayment owed to the U.S. Dept. of Education.

All students receiving financial aid should consult with the Financial Aid office before any course withdrawal, as their financial aid may be affected.

Instructor’s Withdrawal Policy:

Students may withdraw themselves on their own from ENG 111 until the date stated by the registrar (2/14/13). After the self-withdrawal period ends, I will withdraw students ONLY if they are in GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING, and ONLY with a valid reason.

Plagiarism

A student who submits an assignment that in whole or part has been written by someone else without proper acknowledgement (i.e., quotation marks, internal documentation, etc.) is guilty of plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious offense. Plagiarized papers and assignments will receive a 0% and the student who commits plagiarism will fail the course. In addition, your instructor will recommend to the Dean of Students that plagiarists be expelled from the college. Please refer to LCCC’s Student Handbook to learn more about the college’s policies on academic honesty.

Support Services for Students with Disabilities:

Students with disabilities must first contact the Office of Disability Support Services at 610-799-1156 to request course accommodations. Students are also encouraged to personally discuss arrangements with the instructor if there is a need to share medical emergency information or if there is a need for special building evacuation assistance in an emergency situation.

Tutoring:

Free tutoring is provided for all Lehigh Carbon Community College students. Contact the Educational Support Center (SH150) either in person, online, or by phone (610-799-1156) for their tutoring schedule.

Library:

The Learning Resource Center supports the research and information needs of the students at Lehigh Carbon Community College. These materials can either be accessed online from home or on campus at the Library. The knowledgeable staff looks forward to helping all students meet their educational goals.
