Sure: it is a part of the first-year core curriculum, and it is well structured, and very hands-on. One has to speak in front of his/her classmates and the Prof. every single time the class meets, and your speech is recorded on video -- you can pick up a DVD after class, and work with that to improve. The feedback you get from your classmates, the professor and the TA is constructive so the learning curve is usually quite steep. The profs are experienced and supportive.
The program covers things from short statements for the press a la "imagine, you are a CEO of Tesla Motors" and handling Q&A on a tough topic where Company X has a potential for a lot of heat to persuasive speech and effective use of PowerPoint.
On the technical side, you focus on all of the key presentation skills starting from your gestures to control over your voice, to clarity an eloquence of speech.
There is homework to do every week. One has to meet with a TA to work on the persuasive speech assignment.
If you want to become a TA, you need to do well in class and get a recommendation from your professor. TA's are then chosen and awarded a fellowship for the second year, called Omnicom Fellowship. As a TA, you have a lot of control over the work load you want to take on.

Hi current & past admits
I am keen to know what "techniques" if I may say so did you guys use re. introspection?
We all know a bit about ourselves but how did you scratch below the surface to bring out those singular qualities that make each of us so unique?
Being authentic I would argue is the hardest part of this application process

It's great that you're helping applicants be better informed about Wharton.
How important is the 80th percentile in the subscores? My quant is a 72nd percentile and although I did not have a quant-heavy UG experience (some introductory theoretical math and AP Calculus!), I've taken UC Extension courses since then (Calculus, Stat I, Stat II) and gotten A's. My recommenders can certain comment on how well I've handled quantitative work streams. Is this something I need to pay additional to, or will the committee take the view that I can handle MBA math?
