..... Welcome to the Principles of Public Speaking Course!

In the twelve weeks that we have, we'll work on learning how to talk less and to say more. If you want to return to this page, it is called "SPD Home."

Registration for summer session starts March 27th, http://eli.nvcc.edu/registration.htm.

SPD 100 E86N Starts May 21
There are four mandatory class sessions at 8000 Forbes Place, Springfield on Tuesdays, 7:00-10:00 pm, 6/5, 7/3, 7/24, and 8/7/07. There is an optional orientation session on Tuesday, 5/22, 7:00-9:00 pm at ELI. Registration closes May 25. This is an online 12-week course. Enrollment corresponds to campus enrollment dates. All students work together in this course, on the same schedule.

Each week you'll find reading, speaking, discussion, and listening exercises in which to participate. You cannot procrastinate in this course. Everyone is depending upon your contributions to succeed and to enjoy this course.

Please use our Blackboard discussion board to interact with your instructor and your classmates. Find Blackboard at http://learn.vccs.edu.
