 Title : Guide for Speech Communication Adjunct Instructors (1) | |  | The Speech Communication Program exists through the hard work and dedication of several full and part-time instructors. Below is a manual designed to give adjunct instructors an idea about the initiatives of the program and resources available on campus. This manual contains information on MVC requirements for all faculty, helpful hints including classroom management, due dates for core curriculum evaluation items, and details on all common Speech program assignments. | | | Title : Information on Service Learning (1) | | | Service Learning combines academic instruction with active community service, utilizing critical, reflective thinking to examine the world around you and your civic responsibilities. It is not volunteering. It is a mutually beneficial partnership, allowing you to apply what you've learned in the classroom into the real world while developing new skills, improving your critical thinking skills, exploring career possibilities, and making a difference by meeting community needs and increasing citizen support.

Part of this process involves the implementation of common assignments across all sections of SPCH 1311: Introduction to Speech Communication and SPCH 1315: Fundamentals of Public Speaking.
The intellectual competencies of speaking, listening, reading, writing, computer literacy, and critical thinking (as well as a series of exemplary educational objectives and course specific learning outcomes) are evaluated through a persuasive speaking assignment, a listening comprehension quiz, and a student requirement to effectively design a PowerPoint presentation.
The 2006 core curriculum report for the Speech Communication program at Mountain View College is attached to this page.

| | | Title : What is Service Learning? (1) | | | Service Learning offers students an opportunity to volunteer a minimum of 15 hours during a semester to a non-profit agency in their community. Students should talk with their professors and select an organization from the newspaper entitled DCCCD Service Learning that lists many choices for the Fall 2002 semester, make telephone contact with that organization's contact person, and submit a Service Learning Application for Enrollment and a completed Release of Liability (found on the reverse side of the Application) to Dr. Anne Grissom (room W-259). Students attend the orientation session scheduled and presented by the organization they have selected. The specific times for the volunteer work are worked out between the student and the agency.

Academy and work with teachers and students. Another person might be interested in volunteering for a health care service such as Charlton Methodist Hospital or Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.
