Course Syllabus

This is a preliminary syllabus. You will need to go to the weekly links from this site prior to each class for updates to this course. 

Text Book

Brydon, Steven R., & Scott, Michael D. (2003). Between one and many: The art and science of public speaking (4th Edition). Boston: McGraw-Hill.

The textbook comes with a CD which we will use in class (be sure the CD is in the book when you purchase it - especially if you are buying it second hand). The textbook comes with a Web support site - Online learning centre (OLC) at http://www.mhhe.com/brydon4  You will need to register with the site using the index card that is included in your textbook.

This book is available from the SUNY bookstore and from Mary Jane Books 215 Western Ave Albany, NY Phone: (518) 465-2238 I would suggest to compare prices as it was a lot cheaper here last year.

An ‘A’ grade is difficult to achieve.  It will be given when there are no unexcused absences, high quality work is presented for each assignment: written and oral, there are no late assignments, and there is a high level of class participation. There are no curves or assignments for extra credit ~ you get what you earn.

Attendance

  1. ABSENCES: attendance in class is mandatory unless there is a letter from campus central or a doctor’s note. If your car breaks down or any other reason you will need to collect a letter from campus central - no verbal excuses will work. You will lose one-point off of your final grade for each unexcused absence.
  2. LATENESS: attendance is taken at the beginning of class - please do not enter the classroom if a speech is being given until it is completed. On speech days there will be no spare time and class must start exactly on time. You will need to personally check with me if you are late to be sure I have you marked for being present. I cannot accept being told a following day that you were present and not marked. You must be marked for attendance on the day or it will not count.
  3. SPEECHES: Everyone is in the same situation - to have a speech prepared for a certain date. All speeches will be due on the first day of presentations and I will call names randomly. If you can not give a speech when it is due a zero grade will be awarded for that speech and it can not be made up. Being absent will not work unless there is a letter from campus central or a doctor’s note – there are no exceptions to this as speeches take up a large part of the class time and we can not wait until the student is “ready” as most people want to go last and that is impossible with a large class.

 

Office hours:

after 4 pm Please make individual arrangements to meet with me.

Plagiarism

Be sure you are aware of the university’s plagiarism policy (http://www.albany.edu/undergraduate_bulletin/regulations.html)

Email

Please write who you are in the subject or I will delete it. For example, I do not know who kool-dude@hotmail.com is and I will delete it. You need to say ‘SUNY/Biemond’ (of course if your name is not Biemond you would not put that) “re. Assignment 1”. Unless I reply within 24-hours then assume I have not received your email. Because of various email software and filters and different word programs that sometimes do not translate properly if you use attachments send them as a text .rtf or doc or html file only.

  1. Turn in a clean copy of your speech outline typed and doubled spaced in 12-point font with a cover sheet (available at cover.htm)
