Course Description (from online college catalog)
SPCH 100 F Public Speaking (4) (CAN SPCH 4)
Advisory: College level reading and writing
Four hours lecture per week. The purpose of the course is to give speakers more concentrated opportunities to communicate their ideas. Emphasis is on developing the speaker’s ability to present original subject matter. This is accomplished by the preparation and presentation of four to six informative and persuasive speeches as well as various in-class assignments and exercises designed to develop speaking proficiency by skillfully using logic and reasoning.

Class Participation
You should expect to participate regularly in class. Most people are afraid of public speaking because they are not used to performing a public speech. Just like the fear you felt when first learning to ride a bike, time and practice make the unknown and difficult seem routine. As a result, we will practice regularly in class. This participation will be graded.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is required at all class meetings. You are allowed three absences. Upon your fourth absence, Matt Taylor (the instructor) will drop you from the class. I do not have a tardy policy. If you are more than 15 minutes late to the start of class you will be marked absent. Failing to attend class will also result in a failing grade for that particular day’s class participation activities.
Late Assignment Policy
Late assignments and exams will not be accepted unless approved by the instructor. Late assignments will be accepted but will incur a grade penalty. Late assignments will earn you a maximum of 50% of the total points possible on that assignment. You are welcome to turn in assignments and take exams early if you schedule at least one week with me in advance.
Grade Appeal Procedure
Students have the right to formally appeal the final grade in a course. Students have the right to have someone accompany them throughout the process. Students should initiate requests for grade change within the next regular semester, but no later than two years, following the award of the original grade. If the instructor determines that there is a valid basis for the change, a Change of Grade form shall be used to notify the Office of Admissions and Records. If the instructor determines there is not a valid basis for the change and denies the student's request, students may proceed to the appeals process described below. Prior to being accepted by the Office of Admissions and Records, the Change of Grade form shall be completed and signed by the instructor, noting the basis for the change, and approved by the division dean. The Grade Appeal Request form must first be directed to the instructor of the course and a signed copy maintained by student. If further action is necessary, the student should present the written complaint to the division dean. If the issue continues to remain unresolved, the written appeal can be directed to the Executive Vice President of Educational Programs and Student Services. The Executive Vice President will convene the Grade Appeal Committee. Once the Grade Appeal Request has entered the formal process, it shall be resolved formally.
Withdrawal Policy
I will approve all withdrawal requests prior to the college deadline as posted.
ADA Compliant
Fullerton College is committed to providing educational accommodations for students with disabilities upon the timely request by the student to the instructor. Verification of the disability must also be provided. The Disability Support Services office functions as a resource for students and faculty in the determination and provision of educational accommodations.
Academic Honesty
Students are expected to abide by ethical standards in preparing and presenting material which demonstrates their level of knowledge and which is used to determine grades. Such standards are founded on basic concepts of integrity and honesty. I may deal with academic dishonesty in one or more of the following ways:
1. Assign an appropriate academic penalty such as an oral reprimand (as in cases where there is reasonable doubt that the student knew that the action violated the standards of honesty); assign an "F" on all or part of a particular paper, project, or exam (for example, where it was felt that it was a one-time occurrence); or assign an "F" in the course (as in cases where the dishonesty was serious, premeditated, or part of an ongoing scheme).
2. Report to the appropriate administrators, with notification of same to the student(s), for disciplinary action by the College. Such a report will be accompanied by supporting evidence and documentation.
Student Conduct
Students have an obligation to become familiar with the College’s policies, rules, and regulations and to conduct themselves in a reasonable, respectful manner conducive to attaining their educational goals. Students should refer to the college catalog under the heading Student Conduct for additional information. Please turn cell phones to vibrate during class.
Emergency Response Message
Please take note of the safety features in and close to your classroom and study the posted evacuation route. The most direct route of egress may not be the safest because of the existence of roofing tiles or other potentially hazardous conditions. Similarly, running out of the building can also be dangerous during severe earthquakes. During strong quakes the recommended response is to duck, cover, and hold until the shaking stops. Follow the guidance of your instructor. Your cooperation during emergencies can minimize the possibility of injury to yourself and to others.
Wait Time For Late Instructors
If, due to unforeseen emergencies, the instructor does not arrive at the scheduled start time for class, students are to wait for fifteen minutes (unless otherwise notified by the division). If they do not receive notification to wait for their instructor to arrive, after fifteen minutes the students may leave with no penalty for absence or assigned work due for that class meeting.
Fullerton College Catalog and Class Schedule
The Fullerton College Catalog and the Class Schedule contain a number of policies relating to students that are important to you. Please be sure that you have read these publications thoroughly. You may purchase copies of these publications at the campus bookstore, or you may read them online at the Fullerton College website, fullcoll.edu.
Assignments
Participation
You can expect to participate in public speaking in almost every class period. These activities will include assigned homework, current event quizzes, small group activities, public speaking, peer evaluation, and workshops on individual speeches. Each participation assignment is individually graded pass/fail.
Public Speaking
While you can expect to participate in public speaking in almost every class period, you will engage in several formal speech activities including a Storytelling, Demonstration, Informative, and Persuasive speech. These speeches will be graded.
Outlines and Research
You will be required to complete full sentence outlines and annotated bibliographies for the Informative and Persuasive speeches delivered in class. The research assignments will require you to investigate sources on the web via search engines like Google and through the research databases provided to you at the online Fullerton College Library such as Ebscohost. These items will be graded.
Grading
Participation 25%
There are a total of 250 points available in participation. This grade will represent how many times you “passed” the daily speaking and small group assignments in class.
