Oral Assignments

Oral #1 + Oral #2 (Group Project) + Oral # 3 + Oral #4 (Final Exam)

The oral assignments in Writing 465 are designed to help you build self-confidence in speaking to a group, analyze a potential audience, and develop and arrange your content and presentation to suit that group's needs. They begin with relatively simple tasks and build in both length and complexity to the final exam for the course, which is a formal oral presentation of your big report. As the oral assignments progress, you will be asked to develop accompanying materials such as handouts, overhead slides, and PowerPoint presentations to supplement your performance.

Oral assignments are graded according to the Rubric for Oral Communication. You will not receive a grade for an oral assignment until you have analyzed your performance and submitted the required assessment to me by e-mail. Clickable links on the calendar will provide you with a form you can use to e-mail these to me.
