Interpersonal Communication: Building Connections Together
“Smart and rich content—a nice blend of fields, with an emphasis on what makes communication unique.”  (Kathleen Glenister Roberts 2012-11-29)“The ‘What Do You Know’ sections are excellent because they provide a framework for students to read the chapter. It helps them determine what is most important.”(Todd Lee Goen 2012-11-29)“I really like the ‘Try This’ [feature] because it provides instant ability for students to put into action what they are reading about in the text. Application is often the best way to learn so this is an awesome addition.”(Christa Tess Kalk 2012-11-29)“The ‘Try This’ sections really seemed to spark some good discussion in the class. This allowed students to see their communication as effective or ineffective, appropriate or inappropriate, and allowed them to look inward. It gave them a chance to reflect on how/why they experience difficulties in relationships, and how they can better approach conflict.”(Lee Lavery 2012-11-29)“…so many opportunities to really engage learning throughout the chapter with reflection questions, application ideas, etc. Excellent!”(Christa Tess Kalk 2012-11-29)“Strikes a never-before-seen balance between general education goals AND preparation for Communication majors (links to journal articles in Communication are a major plus).”(Kathleen Glenister Roberts 2012-11-29)“The text is user-friendly, seems to be geared toward an introductory student level, and offers real-life examples that promote understanding/application.”(Lee Lavery 2012-11-29)“The nonverbal chapter is the best I’ve seen.”(Todd Lee Goen 2012-11-29)
