| Written for the introductory communication course, Communication Works discusses communication principles, interpersonal communication, and public speaking in an engaging and accessible manner.
Communication Works fosters an appreciation of the kinds of communication understandings and skills needed to help students function as competent communicators in the 21st century. It examines the myriad of roles that communication plays in our professional and personal, online and offline lives. To this end, the text's approach and organization strengthen students in their pursuit of learning how communication works by giving them a way to explore how to:
- Assess the extent to which they are prepared to meet the challenges posed by their living in an increasingly socially diverse society
- Make ethical decisions regarding the communicative behaviors available to them
- Identify how media and technology are changing the nature of the communication environment in which they interact
- Think more critically about communication
