Originally published June 8, 2013 at 2:56 PM | Page modified June 10, 2013 at 9:58 AM A veteran of the college lecture hall, Matt McGarrity is so enthusiastic about his subject — the art of public speaking — that he almost seems to bounce out of his shoes with every word he delivers.
But one day last month, he wasn’t giving voice to that energy in front of his usual audience of 200-plus students. He was lecturing to a nearly empty classroom at the University of Washington. Empty — except for a handful of people and the unblinking eyes of two compact video cameras mounted on heavy-duty tripods. It’s through the images captured by those cameras that tens of thousands of people around the globe will be able to take McGarrity’s 10-week course on public speaking, available for free through the online platform Coursera starting June 24. Or, as McGarrity enjoys saying, theatrically: “I’m preparing to teach the single largest public-speaking course in the world — in the history of the world.” Introduction to Public Speaking. About the Course The overriding goal of this course is to demystify the process of writing, practicing, and performing a clear and engaging speech.
In so doing, I hope this course can help each student improve the quality of their speeches and confidence with which they present them. More specifically, upon successfully completing this course, you should be able to: design and deliver basic presentations concisely; design and deliver informative presentations clearly; design and deliver complex arguments persuasively; speak confidently with appropriate rate, projection, movement, and vocal variety; evaluate and critique speeches insightfully.
Course Syllabus Recommended Background If you wish to complete the three speech assignments, you must have access to video recording equipment (e.g., digital camera, cell phone, flip camera, webcam, or video camera) and the ability to share this digital content via YouTube, Vimeo, or Aparat.

When chimpanzees prepare for battle, they puff up their chests and try to appear bigger even if no other chimps are paying attention. When people feel powerful, their limbs are more open and their body language is more expansive. They literally take up more space. Postures aren’t just an expression of how we feel. They can also inform the brain by changing our physiology. Photograph by Kareem Black for Bloomberg Businessweek; Groomer: Valissa Yoe; Casting: Wulf Casting.
