CMST 101 - Speaking Confidently

(1 S.H.)

This one-credit course is designed to prepare students with high communication apprehension (CA) for speaking-intensive classes. It provides an overview of what CA is, and the contexts in which it occurs, and the short- and long-term effects it can have on speakers. Students will identify dimensions that trigger their own CA, and learn techniques to reduce anxiety about public speaking situations. Prerequisites: Students must have no previous enrollment in CMST 191 - Introduction to Public Speaking or CMST 192 - Introduction to Speech Communication; be concurrently enrolled in CMST 191 or CMST 192; or have instructor’s permission. P/NC only. Offered on demand.
