COMPING GUIDELINE: Sample to the introduction to communication or oral communication course.
Updated coverage of culture reflects new research in this field.
Chapter 10: "Interviewing: From Both Sides of the Desk," a new chapter, covers "Preparing cover letters", "Stages of the interview", "The interviewer", "Diversity and the interview", "Technology and the job search" and more.
A new running glossary throughout the text helps students identify key terms.
New boxes called "E-Search" give students the opportunity to consider how technological innovations are changing communication. (Example of an E-Search box: Groups at the Speed of Light)
Lively, literate examples and down-to-earth practical advice appeal to instructors and students alike.
Chapter 9: 'Person to Person' has been revised to focus on relationships in context - Work, Family, Health, etc.
Updated with recent research
"Listen to me; View me; Read me" found at the end of each chapter, gives students the opportunity to integrate their interests in music, literature, and/or film with course content. (Example: commentary on Bjork and "Life is Beautiful")
The text continues to have an interactive style that engages students in their own learning.
