Over the weekend, please take the time to fill out this anonymous (and untraceable) survey: https://udenver.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_4Vo1RCpmEY0Fw2N
- As a reminder, here is the code of conduct that our class created as a guideline for how to critique someone in a constructive and respectful way.
- Please note that qualitative, written descriptions are the most helpful in guiding me to create meaningful changes to class structure that best serve your needs as students, and to ensure that I sustain teaching practices that you enjoy/find helpful.
Vocal Analysis Assignment (to be completed in-class) (50 points) - This exercise is designed to analyze the tonality, speech patterns and inflection of the voice as it shifts in response to one's perceived audience, environment and social norms. Please use a personal recording device (the voice memo app on your smart phone is an acceptable option - or, if you don't have one, the library rents them out, see http://library.du.edu/services/computers-tech-availability.html) to record yourself participating in at least two different types of conversations. These different types can include:
- You talking to friends and/or peers
- You talking to someone you consider a superior/someone who has more authority
- You talking to someone you consider a subordinate (or a conversation where you feel like you have more authority than the other speaker)
- You talking to family (if the family member is considered also a peer AND a friend, please do not use this option in conjunction with the first one)
- You talking to someone you consider an adversary
- Use only the content on the left-hand side bar
- Upload your file
- Select .wav as the output
- Select "convert" > it will appear for 30 seconds or so as if nothing is happening but then you will get an automatic download with your new .wav file, be sure to save it to somewhere you can find it
- Please email me your .wav files by NOON on Tuesday, Feb. 9th --> kate.d.hoyt@gmail.com
