objectives of the company are to:
Þ
Understand the
components of human articulation
Þ
Recognize that
Phonetics is a science that includes knowledge of speech pathology and basic
theories of math and science.
Þ
Develop an
ability/desire to understand technological, clinical, and linguistic applications
of Phonetics.
Þ
Develop a working
knowledge of phonetics that can be articulated to the layperson, the clinician,
and the scientist.
PAC Core Goals:
To Develop and

Company
Framework:
Phonetics in Speech Technology
Phonetics in Clinical Settings and the Public Schools
Phonetics in Speech Science, Linguistics, and Phonological
Research
Evaluation:
Each student consultant has the opportunity to earn
a total of 200 points. There are no “curves” applied to the evaluations.
There will be no “make-up”
examinations. If any student will
knowingly be out of town, it must be made known by Sept. 13, 2004. If there is a one time emergency (preventing
the taking of an APT (Aptitude Test) or exam), I will find a suitable solution.
(Emergencies include: death in the family, car accidents, sick child) The lowest APT-Test can be dropped from
your overall grade upon request. To
recover the score, ONE extensive review assignment worth 20 points will be
given to replace that lowest score. This
completely optional extensive review assignment is called the REPLACEMENT
EXAM. Due Date: November 29, 2004.

Division Projects:
Oral and Poster Presentations
¨
Each consultant will be
required to be a member of one of four Divisions. Each Division will be responsible for presenting their respective
material (memos and announcements to follow) to the class. Each member of the Division must make a
significant contribution. Oral
presentations may take the form of overhead presentations, slide shows, video
tapes, lecture, etc. Each Division is
also responsible for developing a poster presentation for display in addition to the oral presentation.
Each Division is responsible for their presentation materials. The presentation (oral + poster) is worth 20
points, the paper is worth 20 points (Total = 40). Paper/Poster Deadline:
December 6, 2004. Each member of
the Division will receive the same score…it is a group effort, therefore there
is a GROUP grade. Divisions will be
evaluated on effective presentation and knowledge of material, creativity,
clarity, and adherence to directions.
