Brydon, Steven R., & Scott, Michael D. (2003). Between one and many: The art and science of public speaking (4th Edition). Boston: McGraw-Hill.
The textbook comes with a CD which we will use in class (be sure the CD is in the book when you purchase it - especially if you are buying it second hand). The textbook comes with a Web support site - Online learning centre (OLC) at http://www.mhhe.com/brydon4 You will need to register with the site using the index card that is included in your textbook.
This book is available from the SUNY bookstore and from Mary Jane Books 215 Western Ave Albany, NY Phone: (518) 465-2238 I would suggest to compare prices as it was a lot cheaper here last year.

Be sure you are aware of the university’s plagiarism policy (http://www.albany.edu/undergraduate_bulletin/regulations.html)
Please write who you are in the subject or I will delete it. For example, I do not know who kool-dude@hotmail.com is and I will delete it. You need to say ‘SUNY/Biemond’ (of course if your name is not Biemond you would not put that) “re. Assignment 1”. Unless I reply within 24-hours then assume I have not received your email. Because of various email software and filters and different word programs that sometimes do not translate properly if you use attachments send them as a text .rtf or doc or html file only.
On the first day of speeches (whether you are giving your speech or not)
