CORE COMPETENCIES

The course seeks to strengthen students’ skills applicable to Valencia’s Student Core Competencies: Think, Value, Communicate, and Act.  Students will explore a range of communication concepts and topics from interpersonal communication, to small group communication, to public speaking. Students will develop skills to put the communication principles to work.

 

NO SHOW PROCEDURE

Class attendance is required beginning with the first class meeting. If you do not attend the first week class meets, you will be withdrawn from the class as a “no show.” If you are withdrawn as a “no show,” you will be financially responsible for the class and a final grade of “WN” will appear on your transcript for the course. You must attend at least one of the first two class meetings or I will withdraw you as a no-show, even if you have contacted me.

ATTENDANCE/TARDINESS/LATE WORK

Students are expected to attend ALL class sessions; however, there are circumstances in life which cause students to miss class.  If you are not present, points earned in class cannot be made up and work that is due in class will not be accepted late. Exceptions will require written documentation of a medical emergency/ongoing medical condition or legal situation.  If no documentation is provided by the next class period, you will not be able to make up the assignment.  I will NOT withdraw you from the class. If you are present the second week, I will assume you are going to finish the course unless you contact me otherwise.  You will receive an F!

If you arrive late and I have collected work, it will not be accepted. If you leave early and points are earned for an in class activity, you will not receive the points. If you know you are missing turning in an assignment, email me with the assignment attached BEFORE the class begins. 

Students will initial in from day one.  If you forget to initial in, you will be marked absent.  PLEASE DO NOT ask me to mark you present if you forget to sign in.  The door will be locked five minutes after class starts. So be on time and if you are late, DO NOT PULL ON MY DOOR! Go home and we will see you next class session.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Per Valencia policy a student who withdraws from class before the established deadline for a particular term will receive a grade of “W. A student is not permitted to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline of.

 

Valencia policy reads: A faculty member will withdraw a student up to the withdrawal deadline for violation of the class attendance policy.  A student who is withdrawn by faculty for violation of the class attendance policy will receive a grade of “W”.  (Please notice my policy is that I DO NOT withdraw you if you continue in the course beyond add/drop!) You will need to contact me and let me know if you want to be dropped!!! If you have signed up for the class be adult enough to DROP YOURSELF!

 

After the Withdrawal Deadline

A student is not permitted to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline. A professor may withdraw you up to the beginning of the final exam period for violation of the class attendance policy, as published in the faculty member's syllabus, in which case you will receive a grade of “W”. If the professor does not withdraw you, your grade will be what you had earned.

Any student who withdraws or is withdrawn from a class during a third or subsequent attempt in the same course will be assigned a grade of “F.”  If you do not intend to complete the course, you must withdraw yourself prior to the withdrawal date.

 

I WILL NOT WITHDRAW YOU FROM THE CLASS IF YOU HAVE SIGNED UP FOR IT. EVEN IF YOU NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE IN THIS CLASS. You were adult enough to sign up, be adult enough to drop.

 

POLICY FOR EXAMS/ASSIGNMENTS

All quizzes and exams will be online with at least one week to complete. In an emergency, a student must provide official medical documentation with appropriate student name and date information. Contact your instructor to be considered for a make-up. Late assignments are not accepted.  A student cannot make up in class activity or course work without official documentation.  Speeches must be presented on the assigned date. 

ACADEMIC HONESTY

All forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited at Valencia College. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, acts or attempted acts of plagiarism, cheating, furnishing false information, forgery, alteration or misuse of documents, misconduct during a testing situation, facilitating academic dishonesty, and misuse of identification with intent to defraud or deceive. 

 

All work submitted by students is expected to be the result of the students' individual thoughts, research, and self-expression.  Whenever a student uses ideas, wording, or organization from another source, the source shall be appropriately acknowledged.  If a student is caught submitting plagiarized work a first offense will result in a zero score on the assignment, a second offense will result a class grade of F.

CLASSROOM POLICIES regarding electronics

I don’t want to see it or hear it. Please put phones away unless otherwise directed. If I see you on the phone in class I may ask you to leave that day. Students must also silence their phones while class is in session.  If a phone disturbs another student’s speech presentation, the phone owner will be subject to a 25 point penalty on their speech.

CANCER

Topic: Cancer


INTRODUCTION

Attention Getter: More than 1/2 million people are expected to die of cancer this year. That's more than 1,500 a day. An average of 1/2 of men and 1/3 of women will develop cancer.

Purpose: To inform my audience about cancer.

Importance to Audience: Cancer can affect anyone, so you can gain something from this speech by being informed about cancer, and how to prevent it

Thesis Statement: Cancer is a serious disease that may be preventable and curable.

Preview: I will discuss what cancer is, ways to prevent cancer growth, and the different types of treatment for cancer.

(Transition: To start off, I will explain what cancer is.)

BODY

 

 I.   First Main Point: Cancer is a condition of uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells.

       A. Sub point: Normal cells usually grow and divide to replace old or dead cells.

       B. Sub point: Cancer cells continue to grow and divide.

            1. Cancer cells accumulate in one place.

            2. The accumulated cells form tumors.

            3. Tumors destroy body cells.

       C. Sub point: 2 types of tumors

            1. Malignant

            2. Benign

       D. Sub point: Cancers are classified according to the body part in which it originates.  `

                Example: If there is cancer growth in your prostate and it spreads to another pact of

                 your body, it would be classified as prostate cancer. Although the cancer has spread

                 to another part of your body, it only counts where the cancer originated.

(Transition: Next, I will talk about ways to prevent cancers from forming.)

  II. Second Main Point: A person can take different measures to lower his/her chances.

 

      A. Sub point: Lifestyles can affect the chances of future cancer development.

           1. Smoking/Drinking (1/3)

           2. Be active and maintain healthy weight.

           3. Eat healthy avoid fat foods (animal products) and eat plant

               sources (fruits, vegetables) (1/3)

(Transition: Finally I will discuss the treatments for cancer.)

 III. Third Main Point: There are various treatments for cancer.

      A. Sub point: Surgery

           1. Oldest form of treatment.

           2. Offers greatest chance for cure.

           3. 60% cancer patients receive surgery/operation.

     B. Sub point: Radiation therapy high energy particles

          Sub point: Chemotherapy use of drugs.

                             Effective because the drugs go into your    bloodstream which

                                  circulates throughout your body.

Sample Persuasive Speech Outline

(Your outline will be more detailed)

                             

 

Topic: Factory Farming

 

Organizational Pattern: Monroe’s Motivated Sequence

 

Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience that factory farms are dangerous and abusive and therefore need to be banned.

 

Primary Audience Outcome: I the want the audience to join or support national organizations that protest against factory farms.

 

Thesis Statement: The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments.

 

Attention:

 

            Close your eyes and step into the world of an individual. You are born into a world where nights and days are never constant (attention getter). You are fed three to five times a day, but no one is there to nurture you. Not even the numerous others crammed into your living space. You grow frantic, scared, and sickly. Now open your eyes, to reality. What I have just described is one of America’s worst ghettos. You know this individual who is trapped in this environment. He is your breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the meat you eat. Today’s farms not only abuse their animals they also produce harmful diseases and environmental hazards that affect each and every one of us, regardless of whether you consume animal products or not. The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments (preview of points and statement of purpose).

 

I.                    What used to be Old McDonald’s farms have now become factory farms that produce animal abuse, disease and ecological hazards.

A.    Animals are abused on factory farms (Marquadt, 1993) (Reasoning: Inductive)

1.      Broiler chickens are often debeaked, due to fear of cannibalism (Jasper, 1992).

2.      Cattle are often dehorned and castrated without anesthetics.

3.      Geese are often overfed with grains and steroids in order to produce larger livers for pate (Singer, 1989).

B.     The unhealthy environments created by factory farms promote the spread

of many diseases that remain in the animal products we consume (Fox, 1990).

1.      Every year an increasing number of children and elderly die of

food poisoning that is related to factory farm practices.

2.      Meats on the market are often deformed or full of bad chemicals.

C.     The mass production of animals and the resulting amount of waste creates

lasting damage to our ecosystem.

1.      The release of high levels of urine and fecal matter into our                                                  

       lakes contributes to the contamination of our waters, wells and   

       topsoil.

2. The release of high levels of methane into the atmosphere          

     contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer.

 

 

Satisfaction:

 

II.                 For better health standards the U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise its animals in their natural environment.

A.    Studies show that if animals were raised in better conditions, their

Production would be greater at healthier standards.

B.     Many countries in Europe adopted the Animal Protection Act of 1972 (Fox, 1990).

Visualization:

 

III.              If factory farms are banned, we will able to better enjoy animal meat products

in a cleaner, healthier environment.

A. Meat products will taste better and be more nutritious because animals will

     no longer be injected with steroids and other chemicals.

B. Our risk of contracting diseases from meat products will be decreased

     because animals will no longer be raised in crammed, unsanitary

      environments.

C. Contamination of our ecosystem will be decreased when the amount of

      animal wastes that are released into the environment are decreased. 

 

 

Action:

As you can see, the food we eat has endured a lot from its birth to our dinner table. Organizations such as P.E.T.A. and the Humane Society need our help to prevent cases of contamination and animal cruelty from happening. If we don’t act soon, our chances of being exposed to E. Coli or drinking from infected waters will be greatly increased. Join the many celebrities and organizations that are pressuring the federal government to do something to stop factory farming. Go to the web site I have provided to get more information and sign-up to help the cause. You do not have to be a member of the organization to save lives, you can support them by signing petitions to the federal government calling for legislative action on this issue. Support the right to a healthy life. Today I have told you about the cruelty of factory farming and why the government should require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments (summary of points). Stop and consider the lives of the animals that provide with our everyday nutrients. If they can’t live a healthy life, how can we? (Clincher)
