Class Description:: WRIT 3257 is an advanced oral presentation course designed to further develop your public speaking skills.

This course is designed to foster the critical and technical skills you will need to be an effective, efficient communicator in your chosen field of study and/or future career. The communication of specialized or technical information of a particular discipline presents special challenges. So, in addition to learning relevant principles of rhetoric, characteristics of different speech genres, and the steps of speech preparation, you will gain an understanding of your role as a conduit between technical, discipline-specific knowledge and your audience.
