[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Toxifies Hey, what's speech about anyway? I'm taking that class next semester. My girlfriend is literally like my organizer I would have no idea what classes to choose if it wasn't for her. Anyway she told me I had to take this class and signed me up for it. Is it about public speaking or something?[/quote]Essentially. It's basically about the basics of researching, writing, and giving a speech. You'll typically have to give an introductory speech (about yourself), an informative speech about a topic, and a how-to speech. I also had to do a tribute/eulogy speech, but the format of the class will obviously vary by school/course. My wife, as a business major, had to take a business-oriented speech course instead and their assignments were related to the business world (e.g. make up a product and give a presentation about it). It can be a lot of fun once you get over the nervousness that comes with speaking in front of a group.
