Feedback from a recent Peer Review:
"Fully modernized approach to teaching communication. I like the whole presentation of the book. It is refreshingly brief. It moves pretty briskly. I love the tech focus."
"I really like the topics selected and that the information is streamlined. Everything is uniform and laid out in an easy-to-read format, very concise and not repetitive. It does not gloss over anything, yet it does not linger too long on any one concept or topic. It is different in terms of the shorter paragraphs and many pictures. I think the tables and pictures mixed into the chapter(s) help keep students engaged."
"Students will really appreciate the straightforward manner in which the text is written, the examples, and relevant material. The writing style uses terms and concepts today's student can relate to. Students enjoy a multimedia approach to learning and the videos, worksheets, etc. help to reinforce the topics. I think this is definitely a step above other publications out there and the book I have used in years past."
"I like how the author uses simplicity to help those students who get lost when trying to grasp new concepts. I find it engaging because there is a mix of tables, quotes, and writing to break concepts up."
"Again, I enjoyed the variety of activities as well as having things embedded and easily accessible to students. The worksheet/activities are especially helpful so students can insert their own information about their topics."
