Exam Copy for Mastering Public Speaking: The Handbook - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

An adaptation of Mastering Public Speaking 7e, this handbook provides students and instructors with a 2-color book in a reference format, enabling students to access information easily and efficiently. This text equips students with a firm grounding in the "hows" and "whys" of public speaking by providing an ideal balance of theory and skills while placing important emphasis on critiquing, ethics, and critical thinking. The handbook is tabbed, with each tabbed section including a quick overview to the chapters within the section. It retains the basic content of the Seventh Edition but eliminates those activities not essential to learning the basics of public speaking. The handbook also retains the Seventh Edition's popular and distinctive emphasis on the ethical contract between speaker and listener and on the value of critiquing speeches to improve one's own skills. Students also learn how to think critically as they choose speech topics, conduct research, organize content, select language, manage nervousness, and deliver speeches.
