I'm currently using it for speech class, and it's been a great friend. It's very easy to follow and the most important part are underlined and in bold. Easy to study from for a test. The only reason why it is not excellent is because a lot of it is common knowledge.
This was the first and probably the last time I will use this service. I did my research, checked the buyers information and the person had excellent ratings. I purchased from this buyer and did not receive my textbook needed for an 8 week college course. I contacted e-bay(half.com) and have started the process of a claim. This process has been a long drawn out process and now it has been more than two month since I started the first step and still don't know if I will receive a refund for a book I did not receive or If I have been taken advantage of. There needs to be a better process for the person who purchases a product than to wait almost 3 months to know whether their claim is being looked at. Emilie Hill
The book was as discussed, and was in great condition.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This book provides students with wide and deep knowledge about public speaking. The Abridgment CD set allows students to study without reading the textbook. The Topic finder is so helpful with lots of topics while the Guidebook - as its name - is a guideline to help students focus on specific parts of the course. In addition, the author also show some PowerPoint skills (though they are just basic) that help students prepare for their presentations.
I had to buy the book for Speech 121. It is just another text book until you see that it has the chapters on a CD so you can listen to them while you drive or relax. I recommend not buying just the book, because the packaged ones that include the CD are worth while.
