This course builds on the foundation laid in Introduction to Writing, which must have been taken for a grade and passed to take this course as a student.

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. In this course, students will learn principles of proper communication from an Objectivist perspective and then will practice the skills they are learning by giving short talks on intellectual topics, followed by extensive instructor feedback.

What Students Say About ARI Live Courses

"Before I found Ayn Rand I was in my first year of university, really wasn't enjoying life too much. I didn't know what I wanted to do after university. My one passion was politics and it's safe to say my views lined up, not with Thomas Jefferson, but more Bernie Sanders at the time. A flatmate of mine...convinced me to give Ayn Rand a go. As a result of reading Ayn Rand I've gained a new found confidence in myself. ...I have a new found appreciation for life I simply never had before and it's always improving."

"Before I came across her philosophy I didn't really know what I wanted to do specifically after school.... after reading Ayn Rand I understood how aimless I had been before. Reading The Fountainhead helped me improve in my own thinking and my own actions. So I started [ARI Live Courses] to get a better understanding of Objectivism, to improve my own life and to be more aware of the goals and values that I have."

"I have been on a journey of discovery and growth for a year and a half now. Every day here has been a gem of an experience, a priceless opportunity that I will treasure forever. In this time, I have plunged into the depths of Objectivism, a philosophy that initially seemed clear, but revealed more complex and fascinating layers as I progressed."
