Designing Oral Communication Assignments

Assignments help shape what students ultimately say in their finished projects, making assignment design a central concern in teaching and learning. For oral communication in particular, well-constructed assignments can be a powerful tool for motivation and promoting depth of understanding of a subject. Join us for a workshop on designing oral assignments that are rewarding for faculty and students, plus a discussion of a recent assessment of undergraduate oral communication at LMU.
