What students are saying.
“I now have the tools I need to write and memorize a speech effectively. Whereas before I didn't know the difference between an essay and a speech, now I know that a speech is more than a spoken paper. It is a three-dimensional experience that requires connection with the audience.” —Lydia
“I can say with confidence that the public speaking course has helped me tremendously. About six months after taking the course, I had to do some public speaking for a dual-credit class at our local community college, and I’ve never been so thankful for the skills that I learned through the IEW public speaking course! I got an A in the class!” —Madison
“IEW’s speech course is one of the only curriculums that would have ever made me comfortable delivering a speech. Feeling like I know how to do every step and do it well makes public speaking less stressful.” —Emily
“The main benefit for me in taking this course is that I learned how to speak in front of a group of people without showing that I am internally freaking out or forgetting every other word that I intended to say.” —Amy
“Since I have finished this course on public speaking, I have noticed that my vocabulary has improved, and in the case of speaking publicly, I have less anxiety and feel more confident in myself.” —Hunter
