Description: LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION ***** Leadership communication is a one-credit course taught in two parts. Each part lasts 7 weeks and involves 7 hours of classroom instruction and 5 hours of laboratory or small group studio work. Part 1 focuses on leadership writing; part 2 on leadership speaking. Each must be taken in a separate semester. Both parts must be completed to earn the credit hour. The course teaches writers and speakers how to explain ideas in the context of values for audiences with a variety of vested interests. The course covers organizational and persuasive strategies as well as stylistic and delivery techniques. Students will draw on projects in their course work or extracurricular activities in selecting topics for major assignments in writings and presentations. Students will also develop a statement of career and life goals and practice explaining these as qualifications for a leadership role during the course. A final presentation and written report involving a campus leadership project or activity will be required to complete the course and obtain a notation about leadership communication qualifications on the transcript.
