COURSE INFORMATIONCatalog Description: Development of communication competence, critical thinking, information literacy, and ethical practices in public speaking, small group, and interpersonal contexts. May not be taken under the CT/NC option. Course Overview: If you had to create a hashtag for COM 110, what would it be??? COM110: #IhopeIdon’tpuke or COM110: #goingToSchoolToLearnHowToTalk. In my experience as an instructor of this course, I often encounter similar responses to telling people I teach the basic communication course at ISU. Many people comment on how they wish they had taken a COM course or paid more attention to their course in college because of how frequently they use communication skills in their workplace. Others simply exude a groan as they recall some of their more embarrassing public speaking faux pas. Regardless of where you are in terms of experience with communication, be it public, interpersonal, etc., one thing is for sure: you can improve upon it! Communication is a skill just as learning how to ride your bike or logging into Tinder (please.just.no) ;). This class will allow you an opportunity to sharpen many of your communication and critical thinking skills. I am confident that as you become a

more competent communicator, you will experience greater

success

professionally, academically,

and personally. As a part of your General Education Curriculum, this course will serve as a cornerstone for your success at ISU and beyond. As part of an elite Honor’s cohort, you will have the privilege to peer behind the scenes into the theory behind what we do and also some creative freedoms in your course projects. Welcome to COM 110!

How do words get their meaning?

Our primary course goal: To become more competent communicators What Will You Learn? General Education/Course Objectives: Communication as Critical Inquiry (Com 110) seeks to improve students’ abilities to express themselves and to listen to others in a variety of communication settings. Effective oral communication is viewed as an essential life skill that every person must possess in order to function in today’s society. The course emphasizes participation in a variety of communication processes in order to develop, reinforce, and evaluate communication skills appropriate for public, small group, and interpersonal settings. The course content and experiences will enable students to assume their responsibilities as speaker-listener-critic in a culturally diverse world. In short, the course is designed to make students competent, ethical, critical, confident, and information literate communicators.

WHAT ABOUT EXTRA CREDIT? SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION RESEARCH POOL WEBPAGE

There will be a few extra credit opportunities for research participation. The extra credit points will be added to your final grade, and may not necessarily appear in the gradebook immediately upon your completion of the opportunity. There are no guarantees for extra credit, and it is each student’s responsibility to be aware of and take advantage of such opportunities. You may receive extra credit for participating in any of the studies in the School of Communication’s Research Pool. The Research Pool is updated as research studies are opened/closed, and it is your responsibility to access the Pool and be aware of available opportunities. The Research Pool can be accessed via:

https://sites.google.com/site/ilstusocstudies/homeIn general, each 30 minutes of participation in an extra credit study will earn you .5 Research Credits. Each Research Credit is worth an additional 0.5% of your total possible final grade in this course. For example, if you participate in a research study that requires you to spend an hour in a lab (i.e., 1 Research Credit), and your course is based on a 1000-point total, your participation would provide 10 points to your final grade. Each project listed on the Research Pool site will indicate the specific number of Research Credits associated with the project. I will get evidence of participation and the time of participation from the researcher(s) who administer the research studies at the conclusion of the semester; however, it is your responsibility to make sure that the researchers have the necessary evidence of your participation at the time of the study. Before participating in a study, please be sure to have your name, ULID (i.e., the part of your email before @ilstu.edu), instructor name, and course and section number ready, as you will need to provide these to receive credit. Research Credit can only be applied to one course for each study, unless specified otherwise in the Research Pool. A maximum of 5% of your final course grade can be earned from extra credit opportunities via the Research Pool. After the final exam there will be no further opportunities for extra credit or to otherwise improve your grade.

GRADING NOTE: The course instructor only rounds up final grades (XX.5+) for students who submit every assignment and who have missed 3 or fewer classes. Additionally, the instructor reserves the right to adjust the number and point value of assignments. Any changes in valuation will be communicated prior to submission. It is the student’s responsibility to keep a running record

5

Fall 2017 Course Syllabus - Milligan - Please also be aware that federal guidelines indicate that instructors offering extra credit for research participation must offer a reasonable alternative (such as a research paper) for students who want to earn extra credit but do not want to participate in a study.

Fall 2017 Course Syllabus - Milligan - complete missed classroom work as soon as possible according to the process outlined below.Upon notification of the absence and proper documentation, each faculty member shall excuse the student from class according to this policy and provide an opportunity to complete missed exams, quizzes, and other required work.  Ultimately, the student is responsible for all material covered in class and must work with each individual professor as soon as they return to complete any required work. Details can be found at the following website: http://policy.illinoisstate.edu/students/2-1-27.shtml

Late Assignments: You must be in class to earn points related to class activities. Quizzes, and assignments are

due on the specified date and time and will not be accepted late. The majority of your assignments will be submitted online. Online submission times due will be at 8:00am or 11:55 pm and will be communicated in class. Assignments submitted online are due on the assigned day before class begins. You must be in attendance on assignment due dates in order for your work to be accepted. ***Please be sure to allow adequate time for file submission/quiz submission. A technical failure at the last minute is not an acceptable excuse for late work.

G rade Discussions : I am always willing to discuss students’ grades on particular assignments; however, all students

must wait at least 48 hours after an assignment has been returned before asking me questions about his or her assignment grade. This allows you to thoroughly read through the feedback given and process why the grade was given based on the criteria for that particular assignment. If you disagree with a grade you received on an assignment, students should follow the Evaluation Challenge procedure found in your Spiral Notebook. Note that all evaluation challenges must be received no later than one week after the assignment in question has been returned. Keep in mind that grade discussions should NOT take place before, after, or during class for confidentiality reasons. I also CANNOT communicate with you about grades via email for confidentiality reasons. If you would like to discuss your grade, please make an appointment to meet with me in person.

Classroom Conduct:

Professional Courtesy: Professional courtesy includes respecting others' opinions, not interrupting in class, being respectful to those who are speaking, and working together in a spirit of cooperation. I expect you to demonstrate these behaviors at all times in this class. With that in mind, sleeping, reading materials irrelevant to class purposes, texting, or disrupting the class will not be tolerated and will result in the student being considered absent for that particular class period.

Presentation Etiquette: On presentation days, you have dual responsibilities as a speaker and an audience member. When you are presenting, you will dress appropriately. When you are an audience member, you will be attentive. Because most people are nervous when they present, you will be supportive both verbally and nonverbally. You will never enter or leave the room while a presentation is in progress.

Behavioral Expectation Policy: Should any student violate the expectations of appropriate classroom behavior (as mentioned in the professional courtesy and presentation etiquette policies above), the instructor will schedule a meeting to discuss these expectations and develop a behavioral modification plan. If these behaviors persist, you will be at-risk for failing the course.

TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS & POLICIESMany of your assignments will be submitted online via ReggieNet, so it is essential that you have regular access to a working computer. Your computer must not only be connected to the internet,

Fall 2017 Course Syllabus - Milligan - but it also must have the minimum software and hardware requirements to meet the expectations outlined below. Computer difficulties are not acceptable excuses for late or incomplete work. Therefore, it is essential that you have a tech failure backup plan and complete assignments in a timely manner in case you need to use your backup plan. In other words, do not procrastinate and wait until the last minute to complete your assignments/activities. Pre-Requisite Technology Skills:It is expected you will have the following skills on the first day of class:

Ability to create folders/directories Ability to find files Ability to save files to removable media Ability to use a web browser and search

the Internet Ability to bookmark web pages for

future reference Ability to play audio and video files Familiarity with a word processing

program (we will use MS WORD)

UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE POLICIES

Illinois Articulation Initiative. The Illinois Articulation Initiative is designed to allow students to transfer course credit between institutions. The IAI requires that all COM 110 students present at least three speaking opportunities that include research and are five minutes, or longer, in duration.

Speech Lab. You are encouraged to visit the speech lab at least once during the semester to practice your speech. It is also recommended that you plan a visit to the speech lab at least one week before your speech so you have enough time to synthesize the feedback received from the attendant and incorporate it into your speech. Ultimately, the speech lab can be a useful tool in improving the quality of your speech and public speaking skills. To schedule time in the speech lab, call call 438-4566 or come to Fell 032 and schedule an appointment in person. If you wish to video-record your presentation, please tell the attendant when booking your appointment. Remember to book your appointment early, as there are a great number of students trying to make appointments. You must bring a completed outline to the appointment. You must also schedule an

10

Fall 2017 Course Syllabus - Milligan - appointment at least 24 hours before the date you are scheduled to deliver your speech in class, or you will not be able to use the speech lab. If you need to change or cancel your appointment, you will need to call the Speech Lab at 438-4566 or stop by in person (Fell Hall 032) 24 hours in advance. If you fail to cancel your appointment 24 hours in advance you will not be allowed to use the speech lab again.

Cheating/Plagiarism. Students are expected to be honest in all academic work, consistent with the academic integrity policy as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. All work is to be appropriately cited when it is borrowed, directly or indirectly, from another source. Unauthorized and unacknowledged collaboration on speech topics and/or the presentation of someone else’s work warrants plagiarism.

Students found to inadvertently commit acts of dishonesty will receive appropriate penalties specific to the assignment in question. Students found to commit intentional acts of dishonesty will receive a failing grade in the course and will be referred for appropriate disciplinary action through Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution Office.

Special Needs. Any student needing to arrange a reasonable accommodation for a documented disability and/or medical/mental health condition should contact Student Access and Accommodation Services at 350 Fell Hall, (309) 438-5853, or visit the website at StudentAccess.IllinoisState.edu.

Mental Health Resources. Life at college can get very complicated. According to recent research, nearly 40% of college students are at-risk for developing generalized anxiety disorder and are less likely to seek help for it compared to other mental health issues. Students also sometimes feel overwhelmed, lost, experience depression, and struggle with relationship difficulties or diminished self-esteem. However, many of these issues can be effectively addressed with a little help. Student Counseling Services (SCS) helps students cope with difficult emotions and life stressors. Student Counseling Services is staffed by experienced, professional psychologists and counselors, who are attuned to the needs of college students. The services are FREE and completely confidential. Find out more at Counseling.IllinoisState.edu or by calling (309) 438-3655.

Illinois State University Bereavement Policy. If a student experiences a death of an immediate family member or relative as defined below, the student will be excused from class for funeral leave, subsequent bereavement, and/or travel considerations.  The student will provide appropriate documentation and arrange to complete missed classroom work as soon as possible according to the process outlined below.Upon notification of the absence and proper documentation, each faculty member shall excuse the student from class according to this policy and provide an opportunity to complete missed exams, quizzes, and other required work.  Ultimately, the student is responsible for all material covered in class and must work with each individual professor as soon as they return to complete any required work. Details can be found at the following website: http://policy.illinoisstate.edu/students/2-1-27.shtml

BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS POLICIES

Professional Courtesy. Professional courtesy includes respecting others' opinions, not interrupting in class, being respectful to those who are speaking, and working together in a spirit of cooperation. I expect you to demonstrate these behaviors at all times in this class. With that in mind, sleeping, reading materials irrelevant to class purposes, texting, or disrupting the class will not be tolerated and will result in the student being considered absent for that particular class period.

Presentation Etiquette. On presentation days, you have dual responsibilities as a speaker and an audience member. When you are presenting, you will dress appropriately. When you are an audience member, you will be attentive and ask challenging but constructive questions when the presentation is finished. Because most people are nervous when they present, you will be supportive both verbally and nonverbally. You will never enter or leave the room while a presentation is in progress.

Behavioral Expectation Policy. Should any student violate the expectations of appropriate classroom behavior (as mentioned in the professional courtesy and presentation etiquette policies above), the instructor will schedule a meeting to discuss these expectations and develop a behavioral modification plan.
