In the professional realm, we need to be able to argue without being argumentative. Whether you are fundraising for a nonprofit, pitching a business proposal, or suggesting a change to company policy, you are making arguments. In making the case for your topic, you often want to raise awareness, identify a pressing problem, discuss appropriate solutions, and outline specific steps for the audience.

This course provides some useful tips in public speaking, which is pretty good. There are some provided material that is also helpful in extra reading.
Another great course by Matt. Really breaks down what you learned in the first course to use with persuasive speeches. Really enjoyed.
Great course! I highly recommend this if you're looking into improving your communication skills, especially communicating ideas.
I learnt a lot from this course. What I like most is the discussions around arrangement, style, and fallacies. Thank you, Prof. McGarrity.
