Courses that meet Speech Requirement

[cjm]

<p>I saw a post a few weeks ago, but can't find it now on the courses that satisfy the Public Speaking/Speech course requirement. I think it was a parent2noles or sunnyflorida post.
S is a transfer student wanting to major in political science. Are there any courses in that major that would satisfy the requirement? He just came back from orientation and said there is a World Affairs club where if you go high enough in debate competitions, it may satisfy the requirement.<br>
Thanks!</p>

<p>I love these bulletins:
[Florida</a> State University Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.fsu.edu/bulletin/undergrad/depts/poli_science.htm]Florida”>http://registrar.fsu.edu/bulletin/undergrad/depts/poli_science.htm)</p>

<p>For a specific poli sci course, I’d contact the college of social sciences. Specifically a mapping coordinator. </p>

<p>I have to ask, I’m sorry. What was the GPA that got you in?</p>

[cjm]

<p>Thanks for the political science bulletin.<br>
Not bragging-you asked. . .S had a 4.0 unweighted high school gpa (IB program) and a 3.9 from Eastman School of Music.</p>

<p>it’s fine.
did he apply initially? i mean a 4.0 would have gotten him in as a freshman.</p>

Oral Communication Competency</p>

<p>Competency in oral communication is indicated by demonstrating the ability to transmit clearly ideas and information orally in a way that is appropriate to the topic, purpose, and audience. It also involves demonstrating the ability to discuss ideas clearly with others, to hear and respond to questions, and to assess critical response appropriately.</p>

<p>A student will satisfy the requirement for competency in oral communication in either of two ways:
A. Petition to have prior demonstration of oral communication competency accepted in place of an approved Florida State University course. Students may petition the Office of Undergraduate Studies to have prior demonstrations of oral communication competency accepted in place of a course at Florida State University. Acceptable substitutes may include but not be limited to:

1. A grade of “B” or above in a high school oral communication or speech class;
2. Verified successful participation in a forensic or debate program in high school, community college, or college; or
3. Passing with a “C–” or higher a course in public speaking or argumentation in another college or university (including community college).</p>

<p>B. Earn a grade of “C–” or better in a course which has been approved by the Undergraduate Policy Committee for oral communication competence credit:

1. Earn a grade of “C–” or better in a course (1–3 semester hours) in the major or minor that has been certified by the Undergraduate Policy Committee as meeting the standards for oral communication competency; or
2. Earn a grade of “C–” or better in one of the following courses: SPC 1016, Fundamentals of Speech, or SPC 2600, Public Speaking.</p>

<p>Departments may elect to require one of the two listed communication courses.</p>

<p>Regardless of the vehicle, to complete the oral communication competency the student must demonstrate the ability to:

1. Generate an original oral message that clearly presents ideas and/or information;
2. Make effective use of both vocal and physical delivery in the presentation;
3. Use standard American English;
4. Adapt the presentation to the particular audience; and
5. Be receptive to questions and/or criticism.</p>

<p>Courses in the oral performance of literature will not satisfy this requirement.</p>
