Oral and\/or Signed Communication falls under the Communication Capacity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Public presentation serves an essential civic function as a means of participating in collective debate and decision-making.<\/p>\n

BU students should be able to communicate information in a clear and coherent formal oral and\/or signed presentation, to engage responsibly with others, and to make use of a range of disciplinary-appropriate informal oratory. As with writing, effective oral\/signing communicators should prepare remarks with an awareness of their purpose and their audience. Because oral and\/or signed communication is generally interactive, students should be able to attend and respond thoughtfully to others.<\/p>\n
