Textbook
Saundra Hybels & Richard L. Weaver (2000). Communicating Effectively (6th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Higher Education.

Visit the book Web site of "Communicating Effectively." This On-line Learning Center provides additional information and resources for students and faculty members.

The book comes bundled with a CD Rom, a tool you will want to use frequently for preparing speeches, studying for tests, and learning the material for class. Check it out!

You will also use the MLA style for this and other Communication Studies courses. For your convenience, a handout about MLA style, prepared by the Reference Department of the Library, has been attached to this syllabus. The bookstore has copies of the MLA Stylebook if you wish to purchase a copy.

More Computer Mediated Supplemental Materials (CMSM)
More computer mediated coursework may be used in your section. Professor Wenson is doing some special CMSM work. We are still in the experimental stage with this computer mediated work. So your input on the value of the computer mediated supplemental materials will be important. If you find materials which would help other students, please let Dr. Holton know. Any feedback you have about our CMSM is appreciated. Let Dr. Holton know at sholton@bridgew.edu.
