2. Ross’ Transactional Model

4. The Ethics of Public Speaking What ethical behaviors do we expect from public speakers in this classroom? What can audience members do to encourage ethical public speaking in this classroom?

5. Avoiding Plagiarism “Using the ideas of others and presenting them as your own” (Brydon & Scott, 2008, p. 90) Brydon & Scott’s 3 types of plagiarism:  Total rip-off  Partial rip-off  Accidental rip-off The solution: Document everything!

6. Cite a Source for: Ideas you never thought of before. Information that’s not commonly known. Information you learned from an author. Quoted material. Unusual wording or phrases. A good rule of thumb: When in doubt, cite a source. Citing credible sources builds a speaker’s credibility.

7. Cite Sources Either by: Direct quotation: Give a word-for-word quote, and name the author. Paraphrase: Put the author’s thoughts into your own words (i.e., substantially reword the material) and name the author. Give sources for pictures, maps you find online or in print.  Either say the source in your speech or print source on slide/handout.  Safest: Do both! If you’re confused, ask your professor or a librarian.
