Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:

  • Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
  • Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
  • Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
  • Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)

If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.


SPH 600: Speech And Hearing Science

3 credits

An overview of speech production. Specific topics include speech articulation and acoustics/perception, resonance models of the vocal tract, basic instrumentation, basic principles of spectrographic analysis, practical experience with speech instrumentation, and measurement techniques.

Learning Goals

1. To study the nature of sound and the essential characteristics of the acoustic signal. (*scholarship)2. To relate the physiological and articulatory characteristics of speech production to their representations in the acoustic signal of speech. (*scholarship)3. To study the instrumental means of analyzing and displaying the acoustic signal of speech. (*scholarship)4. To study the instrumental means of investigating the physiology of speech production and the role of feedback in speech perception. (*scholarship)5. To study the major theories of speech production. (*scholarship)6. To study the principal acoustic cues to the perception of speech, and the major theories of speech perception. (*scholarship)
