Abstract
A new course in oral communication specifically for chemistry majors has been developed at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Students prepare talks based on their chemistry courses, evaluate one another, learn to use PowerPoint and ISIS/Draw, and present a poster session in a one-semester course. The course reduces anxiety toward public speaking while providing a small class setting in which chemistry majors become better acquainted.
