Thursday Sept. 3
Speech 1402
We had a chaotic beginning to our first class due to the overhead projector having no electrical signal. This prevented us from reading the syllabus in class. We went to Plan B, and that was to do paired interviews and introductions.
The instructor taught the class a technique for remembering a person’s name, and that is to associate it with something about the person’s face. Using this technique, many members of the class were able to recall the names of our first 10-12 students.
Students did introductions and we covered about half the class.
The instructor told students about the text and the blog.
Next class: Order books or purchase them at the bookstore. Online orders should be printed out to prove that they were placed within a few days of the first class. If a book should arrive late, this proof will enable the student to make up the work at a later date without any decrease in grade.
Students will also need an an MLA/APA style guide. One used for a previous class will be acceptable.
