READ THE TEXTBOOK. TAKE NOTES. KNOW THE INFORMATION. The speech class itself was awesome. Midterms screwed me over because I didn't study well enough ig (it was really hard). Made me more confident with public speaking. Textbook pack is a lot of money, but it's written in a way that's easy to understand and can be used later for gen. writing help.
