Critical Speaking Seminars

CWiC Critical Speaking Seminars

Critical Speaking Seminars utilize oral communication assignments as a primary method for learning and assessment. They have three key requirements:

  • At least half of the course grade is based on two prepared oral presentations (one group and one individual).
  • Students will meet with an undergraduate speaking advisor outside of class at least twice—one rehearsal for each of the two required presentations.
  • Students will be video-recorded and will watch the recording with either the instructor or the advisors
  • Critical speaking fellows are doctoral candidates who teach in their respective disciplines. Enrollment is capped at 16 students/course. For additional details regarding a critical speaking seminar listed below, please contact the course instructor.
