Textbook Costs

Are you concerned about textbook prices? You should be! A $50 or $60 dollar difference per book for 15 credits can mean a $300 difference in student costs per semester. Most oral communication books cost around $100 each. Do you stop to consider cost as you select the books for your class?

Howard and I decided years ago that we wanted to bring an affordable text to our students that still contained all of the essential information for teaching Oral Communication. We were fortunate to find a publisher, Waveland Press, who has the same philosophy. You won’t find cartoons, color photos, infotrac packages or DVD’s in our book. These extra items inflate costs exponentially, and we find that we don’t use them and our students don’t either.

Oral Communication: Skills, Choices, and Consequences will provide you with everything you need to teach the essential communication concepts that students need to know. And at $22.95, your students will love the fact that you didn’t ask them to break the bank for a general education requirement.

  1. Way to go! I think my students appreciate the cost of the book. I think that they also enjoy how practical the material is.
