CONCEPTS IN APPLIED COMMUNICATION IBD

Sinopse

Applied Concepts in Communication Studies is an introductory level textbook designed for instructors teaching large, lecture-style courses. While covering all the basic concepts in communication, performance related elements, such as student speeches, are limited. Instead, this text incorporates content not found in traditional introductory communication textbooks, including the Internet, social media, and culture. Each chapter begins with an outline of the learning objectives and concludes with discussion questions a bridge to the next chapter. An extensive set of references is also provided to give students instant access to more in-depth resources on each topic. Adopting instructors will have access to a complete set of Power Point slides.Bruce C.
