Course Syllabus

Greetings!

My name is Mehrnaz Rahimi and I have the great pleasure of serving as your instructor in this Speech Communication course.  The successful completion of this course will bring you a few steps closer to completing your degree. 

Please take time to read through this greeting statement and become familiar with the organization of this online course. You may click on the above link and read the syllabus which includes the course schedule and assignments. Click the "Modules" button on the left hand side of the screen and work your way through the "Start Here" module to learn more about this course.  The Modules will lay out all the required content and how the assignments fit into it.

Note that online classes are very different than traditional face-to-face classes in terms of how the material is presented, the nature of the interaction among class members, and the overall learning experience. This course is taught using the CANVAS Course Management System.

Syllabus and Assignments: Please review the course syllabus, assignments instructions and student expectations. The syllabus is update and current and should give you an idea of what to expect from the class. Class assignments, readings, videos, handouts, etc. are posted for each Unit under the Assignment section. Please check the ASSIGNMENT section (by module) daily/ weekly to make sure you are not missing important assignments.

If you have any problems accessing the canvas system, please go to the HELP function to access the feature which includes handbooks, instructions and videos.

For all the speech assignments, you are required to record your voice using vocaroo.com. I have also attached a file that gives you instruction on how to use vocaroo.com. You need a microphone to record your voice. When you use vocaroo, after you recorded your voice, you will get a link. Upload the link on Canvas under the speech assignments. Here is the link that gives you instruction on how to work on vocaroo.com: Using Vocaroo to Post a Speech.docx
