Communicating in Groups

This was an overall good experience because they got this book to me FAST and it was in great condition. It was also much more affordable than my school. I will do business with them again!!

Communicating in Groups

Communicating in Groups was in great shape. There was minor highlighting in it but that was it. And what was highlighted was mostly words that were already bolded so it made no difference to me.

good college textbook purchase

This is a very interesting book that is being used as a college class text book. The book is very insightful and thought-provoking. Good purchase for a communications major in college.

good

Description was just like it said...used with some highlighting so that's what i expected and that's what i got at a good price and on time.

Great Combination of Theory and Practice.

Over the past several years I've had to read several text books, especially those having to do with speech communication. The majority of these speech communication books I have had to read are long, dry, and dull. They tend to be filled with all sorts of theories and very little actual real-life experience examples or practice. COMMUNICATION IN GROUPS isn't like that and does one of the best jobs for a textbook of combining the theories behind small group communication with vivid, real-life examples to illustrate the ideas. The book lays out the format for working in small groups, explains how and why small groups are formed, the decisions that small groups have to make, problems that small groups face, and principles of how a group can work together to complete their project and make a presentation. Terms are defined in easy-to-understand language and examples are relevant and applicable. The book is fairly easy to read and unlike most textbooks I have forced myself to read, I actually enjoyed reading COMMUNICATION IN GROUPS. I would recommend this text for any small group communication class or anyone interested in the field of small group communication.
