Department Announcements
The Speech Communication program has taken several steps to insure that Mountain View students receive a quality education. Part of this process involves the implementation of common assignments across all sections of SPCH 1311: Introduction to Speech Communication and SPCH 1315: Fundamentals of Public Speaking.
 
The intellectual competencies of speaking, listening, reading, writing, computer literacy, and critical thinking (as well as a series of exemplary educational objectives and course specific learning outcomes) are evaluated through a persuasive speaking assignment, a listening comprehension quiz, and a student requirement to effectively design a PowerPoint presentation.
