Introduction

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Sorry, my last intro is now a comment.  I am Dan Houston, I was born and raised in Wadsworth, OH, which is about 20 minutes southwest of Akron.  I am currently a sophmore at BG, majoring in sport management with a focus in enterprise, and a minor in spanish.  Also, I am on the club track team, where I usually run the 800m and 400m and throw javelin.  Plus, I am training for sprint triathlons, which I hope to compete in over the summer.

Jan 21 Class Reflection

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Last Class, we discussed the similarities and differences in public speaking and speaking in a conversation.  One of the similarities was that you need to organize  your thoughts logically.  Another thing you need to be able to do is adapt to listener feedback.  One of the differences is that in public speaking, more formal language is needed.  Also, public speaking requires a different method of delivery.
