Welcome to Public Speaking at Kean@Ocean

Welcome to Public Speaking! We will be utilizing a blog in this course. It will be a place to share our course information and share our speaking experiences from class. Blogging on our class blog will be an important method of capturing our thoughts. It is an important class requirement that you visit this blog a few times during the week to keep abreast of assignments and other important class information.Every student will be posting blogs here during the week. It is important that you remember that this is an extension of our academic classroom. You must use appropriate grammar, spelling and ideas in all your posts. Also, trying to rush through an assignment or making an weak effort in posting will be evident for all persons to see. Also, be sure to adhere to copyright issues in all posting. Only your original work whether words or pictures may be used. Please check out the course links on the blog throughout the semester for helpful places needed while in this course. You should feel free to email me at the address on the syllabus at any time for help, questions, concerns, or possible class absences.

The first assignment for everyone is as follows: You must practice blog posting so you will be ready for your blog posts this semester. So, reply to this blog with a short introduction about yourself. Share with us your course of study, favorite interests or some unusual piece of information that will help you to remembered by the rest of the class. You should create a sign on using google for easy posting here. Please do not use your full name when posting. Everyone should use their first name and first letter of their last name. Using an unfamiliar name will make it difficult for the instructor and other class members to know the author of the posting. This blog post is due by our next class.
