strategy 4 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yeah, the escapee story is pretty wild. He was going to talk to him about his plea deal and he wasn't there. Yikes! The guy screwed that up big time.The only thing he has going for him is he can negotiate a new deal by telling them how he escaped. It's a federal detention center where they would put terrorists suspects and the guy was on maximum lockdown. He wasn't even allowed near other prisoners.screw that, he might need to get out again. obama's new deal calls for a dam project that's going to flood his buried treasure."damn! we're in a tight spot!"

Napa_Don 688 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm in a pickle. For my speech class we have to do an informative speech based on some concept we have encountered during our studies and I was planning on doing "The 10,000 Hour Rule/Success", but I thought I had another week before fully deciding and thought I'd have more time to research it to see if it was a feasible speech without just rephrasing Gladwell. Well, now I have to have my speech topic in by midnight tonight and answer a bunch of questions about how I'd form my speech that I'm just not prepared to answer. So, I think I have to switch topics, but I have no real idea of a topic that interests me and would be interesting to my audience. I just thought of possibly doing "six-sigma". I could do the history, implementation, methods, pros/cons...hmm...Anybody have any other better ideas? Also, if you could go ahead and do all of the research and outlines and stuff that'd be greaaaat.Edit: Some would say I am a man of constant sorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yeah, do six sigma. Or, alternatively, pick a subject from your studies that won't bore the rest of your class to tears. Haven't you ever taken a "fun" class? Something to do with animals, perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites

Napa_Don 688 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Why would you be better prepared to answer a bunch of questions on a topic you haven't thought of yet?Because the 10,000 hour rule seems like an abstract concept to me that I can't really find much scholarly research on (other than people rephrasing what Gladwell said). I also can't really think of how I would give a speech on it other than just saying "some believe you need 10,000 hours of practice to be considered an expert, maybe give a profile on some people, and then some circumstances that lead to some people getting a better chance at 10,000 hours than others (i.e. the hockey player example". Which, if I did, would be very close to plagairism because that is essentially, the chapter in "Outliers". I really can't think of how to otherwise present the concept.Also, these questions are more like "how will you relate to your audience, what visual aids will you use, how will you organize your speech". I was hoping I could do more research to find more authors on the topic but I don't have time. Link to post Share on other sites

I've only taken major specific, required classes. The only elective I've taken is "Introduction to Listening". Of course, I could just pretend that I took a fun class, (I don't think they'll check my transcripts). But, nothing jumps out as me as interesting. I'm very boring.haha, what? napa, you put off public speaking until your second to last semester?it was awkward seeing the seniors in coms 130 when I took it sophomore year.I really REALLY don't want to take this class.

strategy 4 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 How did you know who the seniors were?you can tell because they look older and generally have a different attitude. sometimes I'll think a junior is a senior, or obviously the over-agers throw me off as well... that and the first day introduction where you say where you're from and what year you're inBut, nothing jumps out as me as interesting.
