About the Course

The most memorable speeches inspire, entertain, and praise. By blending stories and eloquence, great speeches highlight the core values motivating an audience. You might need to do this in a keynote address, a eulogy, or simply a business meeting. Inspiring audiences is a common, but difficult writing challenge. You want a speech that elevates the topic and the audience. This course gives you a method for preparing and delivering speeches that inspire and entertain. By the end of this course, you should be able to compose and deliver moving speeches that praise core audience values through evidence, storytelling, and humor. You should be able to write eloquent passages in tones appropriate to the audience and occasion and speak fluidly from either a well-prepared manuscript or from memory. Learners will record speeches, providing and receiving peer feedback....

One big downside is how many peers dont do their assignments. It makes the grading of peers difficult as its nonsense many times.

Its too long. Public Speaking is best when it delivers value with the minimum time and effort.

Existe poco criterio por aquellas que son de otro lenguaje, ya que dependiendo de la nacionalidad y lenguaje uno aplicara su lengua materna y no el lenguaje que desarrolla el curso, aunque claro uno lo toma en ingles pero uno lo usa para poder adquirir las habilidades para poder aplicarlas. Desarrollar un poco más de tolerancia.
