• Here is a list of campus lectures for the fall semester. You can go see a lecture to complete the Required Outside Speech Observation Form (and when that is done you can see another lecture and complete a Bonus Outside Speech Form for bonus points).
  

• This is a Lecture/Lab Course that meets for 50 minutes 3 times a week on MWF.  Some days are Lecture days [they always meet at either 2 or 3 depending on your lab section].  Some days are LAB days [these times vary from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. depending on which Lab you registered for].  Be sure to attend the LECTURE section at either 2 or 3 on the first day of class in August.
  

• If you are in Labs 1-14, you will attend the 2 o'clock lecture on the first day of class and on all lecture days during the semester.  We'll  help clarify it for you at the first class session.
  

• If you are in Labs 15-28, you will attend the 3 o'clock lecture on the first day of class and on all lecture days during the semester. We'll help clarify it for you at that first session. 

• Keeping track of the Lecture/LAB schedule will be important, so pay close attention to the syllabus you receive the first day of class. 
  

• The textbooks for the course include

• Required Texts
   1) Stephen E. Lucas, The Art of Public Speaking, 9th edition.  McGraw-Hill, 2006, with CD-ROM [If you buy a new book you should be sure to get the complete media package which will include an abbreviated audio version of the textbook on CDs! If you buy a used book, make sure it has the student CD-ROM.]
   2) Amy R. Slagell, Speech Communication 212 Workbook, 10th edition.  Primis, 2007.

•  This class will use WebCT Gold. You'll find that you can edit the look of the new My WebCT page, keep your own to-do list and create a list of bookmarks to your favorite websites.  You can log in with the log on information you use to check your email on ISU Webmail. 
  

• By clicking on the image of the envelope in the upper right hand corner of the My WebCT page you will enter the mail feature of the site.  On the new page you will find a tiny image of an envelope with an arrow over it--click on that to set up automatic mail forwarding so that if someone send you a message from within the WebCT Gold site it will be forwarded to the email address you check most often. [Warning: this forwarding feature did not work well for me last semester, but maybe it will be fixed for fall].
  

• If you believe you already posses the skills necessary to pass this class with a B or better, you may want to consider registering for the SpCm 212 Testout.
  

NOTE: The final exam will be comprehensive. For your final grade we will use the highest two of your three exam scores, so if you are happy with your score on Unit Exams I and II you are not required to take the final.
