Text is up to date but remains relevant. I believe next version planned will address social media. However, this text addresses 'public speaking online' most recent pandemic. Coverage of material was welcomed and helped students in virtual learning settings.

Not having used OER materials yet and not knowing what to expect, I am impressed with the comprehensiveness of this text. Every important aspect of effective public speaking, including cultural diversity and audience awareness, is addressed. Also included is a glossary and plentiful useful appendices such as Succeeding as a College Student, Public Speaking Online, and APA Citation.

This textbook is comprehensive and includes all of the concepts and elements introduced in an introductory public speaking course. Direct links to some of the sources were helpful if the reader was interested in learning more in-depth about the topic or study. Although illustrations are interspersed throughout the textbook, there are some graphics or charts that could have been added to better illustrate concepts such as the process of public speaking.

This textbook provides the reader with the principles of public speaking as does most other public speaking textbooks. An important aspect lacking is the integration and use of technology in public speaking since the advancements and progress in technology has changed the landscape of presentations including in online public speaking courses. There are innovative technological modalities and various channels utilized to enhance learning and making speeches.

I found the book to be very comprehensive in the different perspectives considered for public speaking. The appendixes were useful and relevant. Both "Succeeding as a College Student" and "Cultural Diversity" were good considerations and additions to this material. There were no subjects or areas overlooked that would necessitate amending the books content. However, I would change the organization of chapters. I think the delivery chapter should be moved early in the table of contents.

There were a large number of authors and consultants who collaborated on this book. I think this ensures that different perspectives were used to help create a well-rounded textbook for public speaking. I did not notice any errors or overtly biased viewpoints or rationales.

There is a section in the textbook that explains how to use the Dalton library, which should be removed as it is not relevant to all schools. I found many of the examples to be relevant and relatable to college students. In particular, the use of technology and its advancement in the field of public speaking was included. The references made in regards to recent presidential elections were engaging and timely.

Transitions statements are something we teach in public speaking, so it's nice to see when textbooks of public speaking do the same. The book flows seamlessly chapter to chapter. Good signposts are given to break up material in a logical manner. As stated earlier, I think there are a few chapters that would need to be reordered, which can be circumvented on an individual-class basis with a designated reading schedule.

The appendix section on "Cultural Diversity in Public Speaking" was a great addition that provides cultural awareness and differences in public speaking. There is an overall feeling of inclusiveness with how material and images are presented in this textbook.

I think this a strong textbook for public speaking. Many professors and teachers alike could adopt this into their classes for what this book has to offer. There are considerations for how the textbook is organized, which may come down to personal preference. This can be remedied with a reading scheduled provided by the instructor, to dictate the proper read-order for their particular public speaking course. Overall, the book is comprehensive, diverse, and engaging in it's presentation and assertion of core principles in public speaking.

I like the book. It is very comprehensive and includes subjects that might be related to public speaking, but which are not usually included in an introductory public speaking textbook like a whole chapter on Logical Reasoning (Chapter 14) or in the Appendices, Cultural Diversity (Appendix A) and How to Succeed as a Student (Appendix B). An important component completely missing from the textbook is the subject of narrative or storytelling. I believe that the best speakers develop personal narratives that they incorporate into their speeches, which gets the attention of the audience, and creates a relationship and gives context to the speech.

This public speaking textbook covers the main areas needed for a public speaking course in a comprehensive manner. It both addresses the ethics and theory behind the practice as well as practical skill set for teaching and learning how to be an effective public speaker. Not only does it cover the logistical aspects of public speaking (informative speech, persuasion, logical reasoning), but it adds practical skills for presentation aids, language choices, and a useful multi-section Appendix to aid any first year college student. The Appendix also includes more samples and a glossary of definitions.

The content of this text is relevant and updated to demonstrate its relevance to current technologies and media. It includes important, relevant information on diversity concerns and how to address these in a public speaking course. It's timely and relevant and can be easily and quickly updated given its clear, straightforward organization.

4th edition review. For a public speaking focused text, the chapters align with most other textbook subject matter. The addition of the case studies is a plus as this can help with teaching in a variety of modalities.read more

This text is wonderfully comprehensive for an introductory public speaking course. While converting to OER two years ago, I chose this text because it was so close in content to the physical text I had been using. The content in the chapters even aligns, if not the chapters themselves! What I like best about this text is that it covers what a student needs to learn without the tome-like feel of some public speaking texts that are certainly more comprehensive but intimidating financially and psychologically. Suggest elevating Appendix C - public speaking online - to chapter status given the increase in Zoom and Hangout meetings that we are experiencing now and certainly expect post-pandemic.

The book is well organized, taking a student public speaker through the natural, chronological progression of steps in preparing to deliver a speech. Starting with "why public speaking" and anxiety, the text then moves to audience analysis, topic development, research, speech organization, supporting materials, introductions and conclusions, presentation aids, language, and delivery. I would flip Chapters 2 and 3. There are separate chapters for the mainstay informative, persuasive and special occasion speeches. Perhaps some of the material in the appendices could be woven better into the rest of the book(Appendices A and D). Appendix C - online speaking - needs its own chapter. An index at the end would have been helpful. 781b155fdc
