Assignment 10: Making and Delivering a Survey
For your final exam, you will take a position on a topic in
Communication Studies and argue that position to the class. For now, though,
you are going to pick your topic and survey your fellow students to get their
opinions.
Your assignment consists of the following steps:
1. Go to "Viewpoints." Pick
a topic on the list that appeals to you and read both viewpoints
on the topic (the titles are hyperlinked to web articles.)
3. After reading both viewpoints, ask yourself, “Which of these two
views do I agree with most strongly?” This decision forms the basis
of your persuasive speech.
4.Go to "Surveys." Read everything
there.
5. Develop a five question survey for your classmates and put your survey
online, using the tips you have learned from the links above.
6. After a week passes, compile the results of the survey. Render the results
in graphic format so you can use them in your PowerPoint slides when you give
your speech.
