Frequently Asked Questions

How can the CRC help me?

The CRC can help you with all of your communication needs.  The CRC specializes in

  • Speech Preparation
  • Speech Anxiety Reduction
  • Speech Delivery
  • Speech Outlining
  • PowerPoint Application

 

 

Do you help all majors?

Yes, the CRC works with all students (undergraduate and graduate students) and faculty at JMU.

 

 

How long does a session take?

Although there is no requirement for appointment times, a good rule of thumb is two reserve at least twice the amount of time that the presentation will take.  For example, if you are in a group presenting for twenty-five minutes, making an appointment for just a half hour will not allow time for everyone to get to the CRC, to power up the equipment you may be using and to get feedback from the CRC staff.

 

 

Are appointments required?

No. However, it's a very good idea to reserve a space ahead of time. It helps us ensure that there is staff available to help you or room for your group to practice.

 

 

If I want to video tape my speech do I need to bring my own tape with me?

Yes. We have video tapes that you can borrow to record yourself and watch with a CRC student speech consultant.  That tape has to stay at the CRC, however.

 

 

I want to practice with a powerpoint slideshow, what format should I bring it on to use in the practice rooms?

To use your powerpoint presentation in our practice rooms you can access it with 

  • a USB drive
  • a CD
  • E-mail
  •
