Impactful Unscripted Communication

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

This course provides students with a foundation on how improving everyday communication can make speaking skills more impactful. Students will explore how to set up their message while considering its purpose, its context, and its audience. Keep in mind that this is not about speechwriting but about crafting an unscripted message. Students will then practice these skills in front of real people to test their ability to deliver their message in applicable environments. Students will explore what it's like to adapt that message to different surroundings and challenges. They will also develop emotional intelligence skills as you navigate how to better gauge your audience's reaction. Professor Wolfe will demonstrate how applying these concepts will make your messages resonate, from a routine low-stakes situation to a formal pitch that affects their career goals.
