Communicating Effectively is a brief but comprehensive guide for how to be an effective communicator and public speaker. The authors hope that through this text students will become more competent, confident, ethical communicators and better critical thinkers, as well as becoming more media- and information-literate. The text offers many opportunities to reflect upon and enhance public speaking skills for both academic and professional development and, ultimately, for becoming better citizens in a democracy.
