Grade Composition Revisited (1/13/09)

22% In Class Activities (Learning Initiative, "Discover Speech" Activities, Speech Days jobs)
8 % Table Topic Speeches
25% Informative Speech
30% Persuasive Speech
15% Final Speech

The Final Speech

The purposes of this exercise are

1. To allow students to think through comprehensively what they have learned in speech making
2. To have one more opportunity to do an informative/persuasive speech

In this 3-4 minute speech, (if you really have enough meaningful content, 5 minutes is OK, too) students should apply all knowledge and skills they have acquired through lectures/textbooks/ practicing/ observing. You are encouraged to use the professional languages as they appear in our textbook.

You may consider this as the final examination for this class. Previously, the proposed grade for this assignment is 10%. Should we make it more? We will discuss this in our class Wednesday.
