ProComm Expectations
Welcome to Professional Communications. This class encompasses more than just public speaking. This course will take you through the communication process, and teach you the basic skills of interpersonal communication, group communication, and public speaking in the professional world.
Class Expectations:
1. Participate. This class is focused a lot on class and small-group discussion. And since this class is about communicating, your ability to do so effectively will be a large part of your grade. Participation also includes being a good listener; never disrupt presentations.

4. Show up on time and prepared for class.
