This course is an oral skills class designed to help graduate students become more accurate and fluent in both verbal and nonverbal skills. In addition to working on acquiring an American accent and body language when speaking English, students will work on basic presentation skills.
Wednesdays, 3:35 - 4:55 pm
Communication of concepts and ideas is an important element of working in the academic and corporate communities. While oral presentation is a prevalent format for communication, especially in the scientific fields, written communication is usually the focus of graduate communication courses. With such a focus on written discourse, most graduate students never consider the absolute importance of being good oral communicators.
This course will help students better understand the conventions of academic and professional oral discourse. After building a better foundational understanding of this type of discourse, students will develop strategies for designing and delivering oral presentations. Students are encouraged to use current research as a basis for their work in this course. Students will be expected to participate as critical audience members, offering feedback to peers. Additionally, students will have an opportunity to engage in self-assessment by reviewing recordings of their presentations.
Wednesdays, 2:05 - 3:55 pm
