Our Group Discussion Project will be “How can the Morton College Speech 101 Internet class be improved?” We need to sample the opinions of everyone enrolled in the class. First, we need to decide what questions we want to ask everyone their opinions about. Visit the Class Survey Discussion Forum and post two or three questions we’d need to ask the class to sample their opinions about the Speech 101 Internet class. Don’t answer the questions posted by yourself or others or offer suggestions for improving the Speech 101 Internet class at this time. Just submit questions we’d need to ask the students enrolled in the class to find out their opinions about the class’ strengths and weaknesses. I’ll create a survey based on your questions and some other questions I’ll write. Then, I’ll put a link for that survey under the Due Wednesday, April 21, 6:30 p.m. homework assignments section.

Due Wednesday, April 21, 6:30 p.m.

1. Beginning Monday morning, April 19, click on this link to email me your answers to the Speech 101 Internet Class Survey.
2. Complete and practice your Personal Experience Speech.
