Exploring Public Speaking - 4th Edition
No full textIn Exploring Public Speaking/ especially in its second through fourth editions/ we have attempted to create a usable/ zero-cost textbook for basic public speaking courses or courses that include basic public speaking skills as one of their primary learning outcomes. The free/ open nature of the text means that instructors are able to use all or part of it/ and add their own materials. We believe this text addresses all the subjects that traditional publishers’ books would address in an appropriate writing style and with appropriate college-level learning theory in mind. The appendices address some additional topics that might be excluded from most texts/ but that we believe add to the experience: learning theory/ plagiarism/ speaking online/ speaking to diverse audiences/ and humor in public speaking. In the third and fourth editions we have added “case study” examples and some different outline samples. We think this book is especially useful in coverage of PowerPoint/ audience analysis and responsiveness/ ethics in public speaking/ persuasion/ special occasion speeches/ and structure of speeches. Because it was written by communication professors with decades of experience in the classroom/ we are aware of the needs of basic public speaking students. Three ancillaries are currently available: electronic “flash cards” for study/ PowerPoint slide decks on the 15 main chapters/ and test banks for the 15 main chapters. As the website is developed/ it will include videos of student speeches.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1340/thumbnail.jp
How to Learn Like A Pro

Each of the six units featuring a total of twenty-three lessons and accompanying exercises (with a dash of humor here and there) were developed with the diverse student body of the community college in mind as well as learners in other educational venues.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1342/thumbnail.jp
Torts: Cases and Contexts Volume 2
No full textPlain-spoken and convivial/ this casebook makes a deliberate effort to explain the law/ rather than to provide a mere compilation of readings and questions. Simple concepts are presented simply. Complex concepts are broken down and accompanied by examples and problems. By being clear and straightforward/ the casebook aims to quickly get students to the point where they can navigate regions of gray and build nuanced arguments. The book is written from the conviction that when students stop to puzzle over something/ it should be because the law itself puzzles/ not because the book obfuscates. Students describe the book as easy to read. A key aim is context/ with explanations of how pieces of doctrine fit into the bigger picture. There is also a continual effort to plug doctrine into the real world of practice/ getting students to think about litigation strategy and tactics. Another key feature is a high-degree of organization. Doctrine is explained upfront/ independent of and before the cases. After the cases/ there is no notes-and-questions mishmash. Historical notes/ check-your-understanding questions/ questions to ponder/ and problems are all separately labeled as such. The readings are rich with variety. The classic cases are here/ of course. But there are also atypical readings that allow students to see tort law from different perspectives/ including an opening statement/ a closing argument/ administrative-enforcement letters/ an excerpt from a novel/ and an opinion on tribal law from a Navajo court. Many selections are also startlingly modern/ with facts involving texting-and-driving/ alcoholic energy drinks/ Facebook libel/ suddenly accelerating Toyotas/ and the misery of a six-hour tarmac delay. Please note that the publisher requires you to login to access and download the textbooks.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1352/thumbnail.jp

Mastering Strategic Management - 1st Canadian Edition
No full textMastering Strategic Management is designed to enhance student engagement in three innovative ways. The first is through visual adaptations of the key content in the book. It is well documented that many of today\u27s students are visual learners. To meet students\u27 wants and needs (and thereby create a much better teaching experience for professors)/ Mastering Strategic Management contains multiple graphic concept pages in ever section of every chapter of the book. Think of graphic concept pages as almost like info-graphics for key concepts in each section. This feature sets Mastering Strategic Management apart from any strategic management book on the market today. The second way the authors capture student interest through their textbook is by using a real-world company as the running example in each chapter. For example/ Chapter 1 in Mastering Strategic Management utilizes Blackberry to harness the conceptual coverage of the chapter in a running/ corporate/ application to which students will relate. The third inventive way Mastering Strategic Management holds the attention of strategic management students is through the “strategy at the movies” feature in each chapter that links course concepts with a popular motion picture.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1358/thumbnail.jp
