Description

Todays leaders must have not only an ability to analyze thoughtfully but also to communicate clearly and persuasively. This intensive course will seek to strengthen the capacity of each student to speak well in public settings. Approximately one-half of the course will be devoted to classes that introduce students to strategies of communication. The other half will consist of smaller workshops in which students will hone their speaking skills, including the development and analysis of both their presentations and their sense of presence, and handling stressful situations in which they must manage themselves well.

Note: the B section, in January, meets from Mon. Jan. 4 – Fri. Jan. 22, but not all students meet all days. Students assigned to sections, which determine which days they meet in addition to the  approximately four required lectures.  No meeting on weekends.  May not be taken with MLD-717.
