  Great intro text

This book is wonderfully accessible and serves as a great introduction to interpersonal communication and preparation for upper-level coursework on relational communication. I have used this textbook for 4 years at a community college and 2 years at a state university and the students have always rated this textbook very highly. Although they do state that the chapters are a bit long, they feel it is very accessbile and easy to understand. The students also report that they like the examples/blurbs from other students that pepper the chapters, and many of them bring up those examples or Wood's personal examples in relation to their own lived experiences during class discussion.

Thanks to the students' positive responses to the text, I have been able to explore more options in teaching besides reiterating the text in lecture format and have developed quite an array of exercises and projects that push my students to understand some difficult concepts better, to learn more sophisticated materials, and to improve their interpersonal communication skills through practice.

I praise Julia Wood for creating a textbook that allows students to be in charge of their own learning and teachers to go outside the expected routine.

 
  Fast delivery

The book came to me quickly and the condition was like how the seller described. I did not find any cd in the book though, so that was pretty disappointing (I don't remember wheter the seller mentioned if the cd was included or not in the description). The disc probably wouldn't have worked anyways. Overall, I was satisfied with the results.
 
  Excellent Communciations Book

This book is expertly researched and very well-written with material clearly organized for ease in learning. The chapters are a bit long, but worth the read for anyone taking a class or pursuing a degree in communications ;).
 
  Exactly as listed

No surprises, received the book fairly promptly, and it was exactly as it was described on Amazon.
