I wrote this little piece to respond to some concerns voiced on the Basic Course List and I thought it might be relevant more generally. Now may be the time to reconsider and reconceptualize the basic course. Traditionally, the basic course in communication has been a course designed to teach the skills of public speaking. Then in the early 70’s courses in interpersonal communication were developed, again to teach basic skills.

Most Americans haven't bounced back financially from the 2008 downturn.    Yet, what's obvious is that another recession is on the way. As The Wall Street Journal reports, half of the U.S. chief financial officers expect one by the end of 2019 and 80% by the end of 2020.

After reading the varied posts, I’m convinced we (as an academic discipline) don’t have any evidence for the claims that a live audience is either effective or necessary in online public speaking courses. This may well be true (though I’m not sure) but perhaps an online public speaking course is not the place for it. Perhaps the online public speaking course should be focused on online public speaking—webinars, podcasts, videos on YouTube.

Make a commitment to exert a major effort in this course.

It isn't worthy of noting in the media such as the New York Post that a bloodbath is coming to Hearst's print publications. They range from Cosmo to Esquire.
