Course Overview:

Welcome to R110, Fundamentals of Speech Communication! We are looking forward to a great semester with you. What follows is some important information for you to keep in mind on your journey to learning more about communication in the form of rhetoric and public address. Essentially, this course helps you understand - and strengthen - your communication skills via public speaking and critical thinking.

 

Course Requirements:

(1) Everyone MUST have their own textbook and course materials. No exceptions. The textbook for R110 Fundamentals of Speech Communication is: Fundamentals of Speech Communication, second edition, edited by LeBeau and Sheeler (ISBN = 978‐073808360-5)

***Can be purchased in person or online at the IUPUI Barnes and Noble bookstore for only $56. 95. Do NOT buy a used copy online or from a friend, as important pages will be missing.

(2) Note cards

(3) A notebook to take lecture notes and participate in class exercises. Computers and cellphones are NOT permitted to be used to take notes.

(4) USB flash drive (minimum of 1 gb memory)

 

R110 Textbook Policy:

The new edition (second edition) is the ONLY textbook available for R110 here at IUPUI.  Please note:

• Every student is required to purchase a textbook
• ALL MATERIAL in our textbook is intellectual property and is under copyright by the Board of Trustees of Indiana University
• No portion of the R110 textbook should be reproduced in any way without prior permission from the copyright holder (IUPUI)
• Photocopying of rubrics or ANY portion of the book (even a page or two) DOES NOT constitute “fair use”
• Any use stemming from the reproduction of any of the R110 textbook’s material is a violation of US copyright laws and constitutes "theft"

If a student has purchased a first edition copy of the textbook, the student needs to return it and purchase a second edition.  The IUPUI bookstore at Barnes and Noble have over 1800 copies of our textbook in stock and ready for purchase.

Finally, students should realize that our textbook is not only required but is a great textbook, and compared to the other textbooks, it is a good bargain at its price point. The previous textbook used (Lucas – currently a new copy of the book lists for $151.00 on Amazon) is a much more expensive book. 

In addition, there is no comparison on quality.  The IUPUI textbook is built around assignments as they pertain to the course you are in--R110 at IUPUI.  It is written by local, IUPUI scholars, professors, and researchers--experts in the respective fields covered in this textbooki.  For example, the chapter on 'research' is written by Bill Orme, an expert in information science and a librarian at IUPUI.  Another example is the chapter on 'listening,' which is written by Dr. Beth Goering, an expert in listening who has both researched and published on the issue of listening and how humans process verbal information. 

Final Exam Policy: (effective for all face-to-face/live sections of R110)

R110 is part of the core 30 hours that all freshmen are required to take at IUPUI. As a result, R110 is required by the university to adhere to certain standards that other courses you take may not. The final exam in R110 is a component of these requirements. As a result, the following policies are strictly enforced and are expected to be adhered to.

Your final exam in R110:

• will consist of 100 multiple-choice questions
• will be comprehensive over the entire textbook
• will be administered through the IUPUI Testing Center
• will require you to register for a time to take the final exam during the assigned day of your final exam
• will require you to take the final exam at the time and on the day you register to take it.

During the last month of April 2018, you will receive a web link that will be posted to an announcement on Canvas. You will copy this web link into a browser, and you will be directed to a registration web site maintained by the IUPUI Testing Center that allows you to register for a time during the day of your final exam in R110. You will be required to show up to the IUPUI Testing Center at that time and on that day to take your final exam.

 

You must make a reservation to take your final exam prior to delivering your final speech in R110. Failure to make a reservation to take your final exam in R110 prior to your final speech scheduled delivery will result in a zero grade for your final speech – the policy speech.

 

Failure to take your exam at the time and on the day that you register will result in zero credit for the final exam. The final exam and all sections of R110 constitute 10% of your final grade.

 

Regarding End-of-Semester Travel Plans:

You are expected to be present on campus and ready to take your final exam during finals week – finals week for R110 occurs in accordance to the schedule set by IUPUI. If you need to make travel arrangements, please be advised not to leave campus prior to the start of finals week, starting May 1, 2018, and DO NOT leave campus prior to the day of your R110 final exam. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in zero credit for your final exam – you will not be given an option to take the final exam early. Please plan accordingly as there will be no particular exceptions granted to this rule.

 

When showing-up to the IUPUI Testing Center to take your final exam in R110:

• Be advised you are not allowed to take anything into the IUPUI Testing Center (including cell phones);
• You are required to have a current IUPUI student identification card as well as your DUO log-in;
• There are lockers provided outside the IUPUI Testing Center, but space is limited so plan accordingly;
• Be advise that while in the IUPUI Testing Center, you are under strict surveillance – physically via cameras, IUPUI Testing Center proctors, and via a lockdown browser;
• Be advised that IUPUI's standards of academic misconduct govern all final exams including those in the IUPUI Testing Center;
• Once you begin the final exam, you have two hours (120 minutes) to complete the exam.

If you have any further questions regarding these policies, please contact me to get them answered early.  Please note that this policy has been approved by the Department of Communication Studies and the Directors of R110.

 

Student Learning Outcomes:

Throughout the course of this semester, you will be expected to learn how to do the following:

(1) Develop organized outlines;

(2) Utilize critical thinking in the development, preparation, and analysis of all speeches;

(3) Transform written thoughts into clear oral presentations; and

(4) Incorporate credible research proactively by properly integrating academic source material.

 NOTE: There are twelve learning objectives for this course. They are listed and explained on pages viii-x of your textbook. Be sure to read them BEFORE you sign the student contract. I will consider your signature on the student contract a binding commitment.

Additional Course Requirements:

• No hats may be worn during a speech as they cover the face, hide your expressions and limit eye contact. Please plan to dress appropriately on speaking days to enhance your credibility.
• ALL speech assignments (written and presentations) must be completed to earn a passing grade
• Your speech grade will be reduced if you are talking, studying other subjects, sleeping, surfing the Internet, or attempting to prepare your own speech while others are. You are expected to use this time to listen and offer feedback for your peers.
• No lectern or other type of stand may be used for your speech deliveries.
• NEVER enter the room while a classmate is speaking. Wait for applause or instructor permission and then enter.
• Check for deadlines in advance, ask questions, and plan accordingly--items such as your outline, your speech delivery, and your audience analysis have specific deadlines that must be adhered to. Assignments are due in the assignment drop box on Canvas by the due date.
• As you become familiar with our classroom, plan visual aids accordingly. PowerPoint slides tend to meet our requirements most easily; seek help if you are uncomfortable with PowerPoint. 
• Keep everything you submit to me. If there is a question regarding your grade, no change can be made without the original document.
• Expect to read and cover large chunks of the text independently. You will want to familiarize yourself with our core readings prior to the start of next class.
• It is important that each student behave as he or she were in any other professional environment. This means keeping distracting behaviors to a minimum while maintaining attention and focus on the learning environment. As an example, it is not acceptable to focus on other items (such as your cellphone), to eat, to sleep, or otherwise lack engagement with our speakers.

 

 

Classroom Civility:

As a member of the community of this class, you will be expected to speak and behave in a way that promotes civility.  By practicing civility, you help make our learning environment a place where each of us feels comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and experimenting with new ways of seeing, knowing, and being.

 

Civility Statement:

A civility statement is designed to promote the free exchange of ideas by making participants feel safe to express themselves and explore issues in a spirit of inquiry.  In order to promote civility, you are expected to:

• Treat each other and me (your instructor) with respect;
• Appreciate that everyone has something to contribute;
• Avoid offensive language and gestures;
• Refrain from side conversations when others are speaking;
• Allow others to speak without interruption;
• Demonstrate care and concern for others;
• Keep an open mind;
• Use cell phones or other devices only for class work and only when specifically instructed. Cell phones should NOT be out in class unless needed for that particular day;
• Use respectful language in your online communications;
• Maintain self-control;
• Appreciate differences;
• Be inclusive.

 

IUPUI Speaker’s Lab:

You will be required to work with the Speaker’s Lab throughout the semester on your speeches. Some assignments with the Speaker’s lab will be submitted on Canvas, but there are times you might work with a Speaker’s Lab mentor outside of Canvas. The Speaker’s Lab is located in the basement of Cavanaugh Hall in room CA 001G. The lab mentors are available via web conferencing for those students not able to make it to campus.

 

Students get free assistance with any step of the speech-making process at the IUPUI Speaker’s Lab. With three soundproof recording rooms, state-of-the-art equipment and amazing mentors, the lab helps IUPUI students prepare any presentation for any class!

 

Benefits of the Speaker’s Lab:

Our mentors can help you:

- Understand speech assignments and requirements;

- Brainstorm for topics;

- Identify and research sources;

- Strengthen speech content, structure, and organization;

- Improve outline and note card usage;

- Develop visual aids;

- Polish gestures and speech delivery;

- Reduce speech anxiety.

Late Work:

Late work, if accepted, is automatically penalized one letter grade, with the penalty increasing as time passes. This will be determined by the instructor on a case-by-case basis. 

Late speeches will be made-up as time allows and will be penalized a minimum of one letter grade, regardless of the reason why they are being presented late. Speeches are not allowed to be made up if you do not notify instructor before your speech date.  Depending on the circumstance, you may not be allowed to make up speech at all. 

 

Attendance & Tardies:

Attendance will be taken for each online classroom meeting. Attendance in this course is mandatory for every class meeting and your attendance is crucial to completing your speeches. Further, your participation is vital for your learning and the learning of others.

You are allowed 2 excused absences without penalty. An absence MAY NOT take place on a day you are scheduled to speak. The reason for the absence is not important. You are responsible for the work of the day and will not receive any credit for work completed in class if you are not in attendance. Once a student reaches 3 absences, his or her grade drops on letter grade. After 5 absences, a student's grade will drop two letter grades.

• Tardies are any arrival 5 minutes or more after the class has started. Two (2) tardies count as one absence. Each additional tardy/absence will result in a 2% reduction in your final grade (20 pts). Your instructor may increase this if your tardy is for a substantial portion of our meeting
• Leaving class before the class is dismissed is the same as an absence. Leaving early two (2) times counts as one (1) absence. Each time leaving early will result in a 2% reduction in your final grade (20 pts). Your instructor may increase this if your tardy is for a substantial portion of our meeting time.

 

Students with Disabilities:

Students needing accommodations because of disability will need to register with Adaptive Educational Services and complete the appropriate forms issued by AES before accommodations will be given.  The AES office is located in Taylor Hall, UC 100.  You can also reach the office by calling 274-3241.

 

Participation:

A key part of your grade will be based on participation. Therefore it is strongly encouraged that you do so on a regular basis. That means taking part in class discussions, offering peer feedback when requested, asking/answering questions, and playing a part in the learning process. I will award full participation points only to those who consistently participate. That does not mean that you “always” have to be the one answering the questions. It just means participating in some way, consistently and thoughtfully. Again, what you get out of this class is a direct result of what you put into it.

 

Academic Misconduct:

(From the IUPUI Bulletin (http://www.bulletin.iupui.edu/))

The university may discipline a student for academic misconduct, which is defined as any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution and undermine the educational process. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Cheating

• A student must not use external assistance on any “in-class” or “take-home” examination, unless the instructor specifically has authorized such. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, the use of tutors, books, notes, and calculators;
• A student must not use another person as a substitute in the taking of an examination; 
• A student must not steal examinations or other course;
• A student must not allow others to conduct research or to prepare any work for him or her without advance authorization from the instructor to whom the work is being submitted. Under this prohibition, a student must not make any unauthorized use of materials obtained from commercial term paper companies or from files of papers prepared by other;
• A student must not collaborate with other persons on a particular project and submit a copy of a written report, representing it explicitly or implicitly as the student’s own work;
• A student must not use any unauthorized assistance in a laboratory, at a computer terminal, or on field-work;
• A student must not submit substantial portions of the same academic work for credit or honors more than once without permission of the instructor to whom the work is being;
• A student must not alter a grade or score in any way.

Fabrication

A student must not falsify or invent any information or data in an academic exercise including, but not limited to, records or reports, laboratory results, and citations to the sources of information.

Plagiarism

A student must not adopt or reproduce ideas, words, or statements of another person without an appropriate acknowledgment. A student must give due credit to others' work and acknowledge indebtedness whenever he or she does any of the following:

1. Quotes another person’s actual words, either oral or written;
2. Paraphrases another person’s words, either oral or written;
3. Uses another person’s idea, opinion, or theory; or
4. Borrows facts, statistics, or other material, unless the information is common knowledge.

Interference

A student must not steal, change, destroy, or impede another student’s work. Impeding another student’s work includes, but is not limited to, the theft, defacement, or mutilation of resources so as to deprive others of the information they contain.

A student must not give or offer a bribe, promise favors, or make threats with the intention of affecting a grade or the evaluation of academic performance.

 

Violation of Course Rules:

A student must not violate course rules as contained in a course syllabus or other information provided to the student.

 

Facilitating Academic Dishonesty:

A student must not intentionally or knowingly help or attempt to help another student to commit an act of academic misconduct.

*This is just one area of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct.  See the link above for complete details.

 

 

STUDENT RIGHTS UNDER FERPA:

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:

1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the university receives a request for access.A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The university official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the university official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA.A student who wishes to ask the university to amend a record should write the university official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the university decides not to amend the record as requested, the university will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student's right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before the university discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.The university discloses education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the university in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the university has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using university employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the university. Upon request, the university may disclose education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Finally, "public information" may be released freely unless the student files the appropriate form requesting that certain public information not be released. This form is available at the Office of the Registrar. Public information is limited to name; address; e-mail address; phone; major field of study; dates of attendance; admission or enrollment status; campus; school, college, or division; class standing; degrees and awards; activities; sports; and athletic information.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Indiana University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
   
   Family Policy Compliance Office
   S. Department of Education
   400 Maryland Avenue, SW
   Washington, DC 20202-5901

 

Policy on Sexual Misconduct:

What you should know about sexual misconduct---IU does not tolerate any acts of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment and all forms of sexual violence. If you have experienced sexual misconduct, or know someone who has, the university can help. It is important to know that federal regulations and university policy require faculty to promptly report complaints of potential sexual misconduct known to them to their campus Deputy Title IX Coordinator(s) to ensure that appropriate measures are taken and resources are made available. The university will work with you to protect your privacy by sharing information with only those that need to know to ensure the university can respond and assist. If you are seeking help and would like to speak to someone confidentially, you can make an appointment with a Mental Health Counselor on campus (contact information available at http://stopsexualviolence.iu.edu/ employee/confidential.html). Find more information about sexual violence, including campus and com- munity resources at http://stopsexualviolence.iu.edu/.

 

Grades:

I do not give grades. You earn them. Grades have nothing to do with you as a person. Grades have to do with your performance, and whether you completed the assignment in a satisfactory, exemplary, or deficient manner. As you plan your assignments for this class, consult the rubrics closely. All are located in your textbook. If, for some reason you are unhappy about a grade that you have received, you can talk with to me after 24 hours have passed since the grade has been released.

Also, you should keep a running total of your grades, along with all graded assignments. Do not throw any graded materials away. If there is ever a discrepancy, I will be happy to look at your graded assignment to be sure it matches my grade book and notes. However, if you do not have the graded assignment, the grade in the grade book will stand.

 

Grading scale:

A+         100.0    to           97.0 A            96.9     to           94.0 A-           93.9     to           90.0 B+          89.9     to           87.0 B            86.9     to           84.0 B-           83.9     to           80.0

Speech Night:

Since 1971, the IUPUI Speech Night Competition provides R-110 students an opportunity to experience the best principles of oral communication and persuasion in action. We recognize both the importance of speaking well and judging wisely. Each class selects its best speaker who then participates in the quarterfinal round of outline judging. In the semi-final round, they present their speeches to an audience of R-110 student judges. The students judged to be the best in each semifinal room are the finalists we will hear on Speech Night. IUPUI Speech Night allows student from R-110 to showcase their talents at the end of every spring and fall semester. This event showcases our students’ knowledge and talent. IUPUI Speech Night celebrates all our talented students, past, present, and future. For 47 years, the Department of Communication faculty have proudly watched our students become leaders – in business, academics, industry, media, and government. They demonstrate expertise in effective oral communication. Speech Night is mandatory.

 

IUPUI Administrative Withdrawal Policy:

This Administrative Withdrawal Policy is effective for all students enrolled in undergraduate level courses that are at least 6 weeks in duration. Students who miss more than 50% of an undergraduate course meetings and/or required activities during the first 25% of the course duration may be administratively withdrawn from that course unless documentation of contact with their course instructor, academic unit or academic advisor is provided. Students enrolled in Undergraduate courses may be administratively withdrawn regardless of their class standing. In addition, this Administrative Withdrawal Policy is subject to the following provisions:

The Administrative Withdrawal Policy must be included in the course syllabus with specific language about the policy (see recommended language below). Students must be informed that their administrative withdrawal may have an impact on their Financial Aid awards and/or student visa status.

• The course instructor initiates the administrative withdrawal process and has the right to stop the process at any time. Students will be notified by the Office of the Registrar prior to being administratively withdrawn from a course.
• Administrative withdrawal will take place after the fee refund Students who are administratively withdrawn from the course will not be eligible for a tuition refund.
• Administrative withdrawals will be managed through the student performance Administrative withdrawal attendance values will be available after the refund period for each course. Faculty will submit requests to administratively withdraw by selecting the appropriate attendancevalue: o Administratively withdraw – Some attendance
• Administratively withdraw – No attendance
• Academic units may establish an Administrative Withdrawal Policy more restrictive than provisions outlined in this It is the responsibility of the academic units to communicate their policy to their students and put this information in the course syllabus.
