How to be Successful
In this Class
:

Prepare Speeches Prepare speech early enough to be able to practice the speech in front of others. Use a note card if you wish (1 3x5 note card written on one side only). Do not write entire speech on card. Just a few notes to jog your memory.

Practice
Speech

Practice your speech in front of others. This will help you get use to human eyes watching you. It also will give you feedback. Give a copy of the grading paradigms that are given with each speech to whoever is watching your speech. Video record or tape record your speech for additional help.
Take Good Notes It is very impiortant that you take good notes from the lectures. Keep these in your notebook/folder. If you are absent then get the notes from a reliable student and also come in for tutoring so that I can explain the notes. If you need help with notes come to tutoring.
Do the Book Assignments You are given several assignments from the textbook. It is very important that you finish these assignments and put your work in your notebook/folder. You will have notebook checks with random questions from these assignments
Come to Tutoring If you need help with anything you need to come in for tutoring. A sign up sheet is on the wall by the door. Just tell me when you want help or need to make up work and I will be there for you.
