In 2-3 pages, discuss whether your perception of public speaking has changed over the course of the term. For example, if you were more fearful before we began than you are now, talk about what aspects of the course helped you minimize that fear. You have full freedom to discuss what resonated with you during the term, but you must include the following elements:
- You must cite at least 2 outside sources in your paper (other than the textbook or course readings, but you may include them in addition to the required outside sources). These sources must be formatted in APA style and included in the body of your paper.
- You must discuss at least one concept from the course readings or textbook. This should be the concept (or concepts) that helped change (or confirm) your perception of public speaking.
- Finally, explain briefly how (or if!) you plan to continue developing your public speaking skills now that the course has concluded.
