More Information about
Forensics found on MySpace:
The Michigan Association of Speech
Communication
What is forensics? The word means telling the
truth before a judge. In college, forensics is a competitive speech and
performance activity for students.
I have also taught intercultural classes,
listening classes, academic achievement and development classes, and
persuasion classes
Teaching Philosophy:
Being able to speak with confidence allows you
to change a person’s mind and it allows you to change your own attitude.
When you can do that, you can start to change the world. I believe that
next to having good health, your ability to communicate is the most
important element in having a happy and high quality life.
