Throughout human history people have used public speaking as a vital means of communication. Speaking in public is a way of making ideas public; of sharing these ideas with other people and a way of influencing individuals. The course will talk about the art of public speaking and will analyze all the factors that affect the preparation and delivery of a good public speech. For such communication to be effective, the elements involved in such interaction must be well known.
