In Mixed Company: Communicating in Small Groups
I think this is the best small groups text in the market. . . . It has excellent topical coverage. It is particularly good in its coverage of decision making. It uses clear examples to illustrate points."This is a very accessible book for undergraduates . . . It compliments my approach to teaching the course because it provides practical examples that relate to students' lives. Further, it covers just about every topic that could be important to group communication dynamics. So, it is very thorough."This book does a great job of exposing the reader to a variety of issues in meaningful and understandable ways. It gives instructors a lot of leeway in how contents can be explored in the classroom and in assignments. It really meets with my goals of giving a comprehensive and applied exposure to small group communication.
