Welcome to the art of speech and persuasion course. This page is the center of the theoretical content of the rhetoric course - which accompany the practice and feedback in the 'real' public speaking course
For students enrolled in the course:
The purpose of the site is to help you prepare for classes as well as repeat material or get additional clarifications for classes. The articles and lesson plans are not a substitute for participation and practice in class. I especially recommend before each lesson to go over the material of the upcoming lesson and the material of the previous lesson.
For readers who are not registered for the course
The site presents theoretical tools that can (with the help of appropriate practice) help you improve your persuasiveness. I recommend reading the site gradually when you go through one chapter each week and try to practice it. Of course, don't expect the online course to be as helpful as a real course, but with proper reading and practice, it definitely helps.
If you want to practice the techniques practically, you are welcome for the practice sessions Our open, and you are also welcome to study the The speech course in a practical way.
