    This course provides an opportunity and a context in which to coordinate the development of an individual's "Voice," mind, and sense of self as a competent communicator and an effective global citizen of the 21st century. A public speaker is in a relationship with her audience and needs to be aware of audience differences and similarities. Thus, a successful speaker/audience relationship requires cultural and intercultural awareness, respect for diversity, and recognition of one's personal responsibility, including active listening. Through the theoretical examination and experiential practice of public speaking, students learn to listen to themselves and to others, to realize the connection between diverse thoughts and dialogue, and to effectively give voice to their ideas. Students learn to effectively "speak their minds" in an honest and ethical way that recognizes the balance of power in rhetorical contexts. No prerequisites.
