Course Description
Ayn Rand was interested in conveying her ideas to new audiences; we at ARI are too. More widely, learning to effectively communicate your ideas to new audiences is an important skill to learn. This course focuses on some of the principles and practice of effective oral communication. We consider some of the principles of proper communication from an Objectivist perspective and then students practice the skills they are learning by giving short talks on intellectual topics, followed by extensive instructor feedback.

Graded students and auditors are invited to join the ARU Discord community, an online social
experience that facilitates connections and casual discussion among the student body. On the
ARU Discord, you’re encouraged to form discussion groups, make use of the “lounge” areas,
and engage with your classmates and instructors anytime throughout the week.
Members of the ARU Discord must adhere to the ARU Confidentiality and Code of Conduct
requirements, as well as Discord’s own community guidelines. Access to the ARU Discord is
restricted to active participants in a given school year, to students on hiatus, and to alumni.
Those who withdraw from ARU before attaining alumni status will be removed from the ARU
Discord.
