Details about this class
Hi!
Welcome to public speaking. I'm looking forward to unpacking your unique public speaking style. I use a flipped classroom style which means you will do content reading/watching on your own and we will apply concepts in class through activities.
You can expect there will be lots of opportunities to speak with your classmates.
See you in class! S (:
