In “Impromptu Speaking for a Purpose,” Gretchen Aggertt Weber, Professor Speech, at Horry-Georgetown Technical College (SC), describes a strategy for choosing speech topics and creating speech prompts with action verbs to help improve students’ skills in public speaking.

 In “A New Advising Strategy,” Teresa Ray-Connell, Instructor in Dental Hygiene and Assisting Department, at Wallace State Community College (AL), describes a successful strategy for improving student performance in clinic and classroom—“advisory” groups of first- and second-year students. Students are more willing to ask questions and share experiences in these small-group sessions than in larger classes; students are more collaborative. Other benefits to students and the program are described.
