    In “Should Colleges Really Eliminate the College Lecture,” Christine Gross-Loh presents the dilemma regarding lectures, describes the complex history of rhetoric, uncovers both sides of the argument, and explains the importance of oratory speech skills. She establishes the article by first using a personal anecdote regarding her own lack of instruction when it came to giving lectures, and does so to draw attention to the decline of the lecture. Moreover, she highlights the fact that a speech done right gives power to the presenter and allows them to impact their audience. Likewise, she provides quotes from professors and professionals to accentuate the components behind the deterioration of rhetoric and explain the idea of active learning.…

    “Public speech is the most valuable skill you can learn.” That’s the line that seems to start every awards ceremony spiel, every college essay, every application for speech captainship...oh hey, look. But despite the popularity of this idea, I feel there is a distinction to be made between the value of public speaking, and the value of being on the Neuqua Valley Speech Team. Over two years, I’ve learned that being a part of this team is more than just learning how to act, write, or prep a broadcast – it’s about learning how to connect with people, both in rounds and in real life. It is about responsibility and commitment to something greater than yourself. It is about striving to bring out the best in people. It is about discovering who you are through teamwork and collaboration, and I want next year’s novices to understand that. As a captain, I know that I can go beyond simply carrying out tasks and…

Attendance is vital; missing class for interviews or other unexcused reasons will have grading consequences.

    Greg Critser lives in Pasadena, California, and writes regularly for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times on issues of nutrition, health, and medicine. An authority on the subject of food politics, Critser has been interviewed by PBS and other media, and his writ­ing on obesity earned him a James Beard nomination for best feature writing in 1999. Embarrassed by a passing motorist who shouted "Watch it, fatso," Critser went on a diet and lost forty pounds. In the process he discovered that in America, weight is a class issue—fat and poor often go together. In exposing the heavy truths about American obesity, Critser gives our bloated nation a wake-up call. His books include Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World (2003) and Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs Are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (2005).…

    At first, I was a little scared taking this class since I have a stage fright and don’t have much experience talking in public. After my first speeches I started to get used to it. So in a way this class helped me overcome my fear of talking in public and I have become a little less nervous about it. This class helped me to start noticing the way I talk, move and sound during my presentations. This knowledge helped me improve myself for my later speeches. So when the turn for an Op Ed speech came I was surprisingly prepared for it and could use all my knowledge and experience in this class. This class also showed me a way how to find relative sources for the content of my speech.…

    Public speaking is an area I feared for several years. My biggest drawback when it comes to public speaking is my lack of confidence. The session helped me realize that it is okay to be nervous, actually it is extremely common. Lacking confidence is something I struggle with regarding leadership as well. I now am aware that confidence can be improved both with public speaking and everyday living. I will take the information I learned about gaining confidence in public speaking and apply it to my…
