5.0 out of 5 stars
FINALLY, Someone who can teach public speaking!,
By Darren L. York (Clarksville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Public Speaking for College and Career with Free SpeechMate Student CD-ROM 1.0 and PowerWeb (Paperback)
As a college instructor of oral communication for ten years, I complained bitterly about the poor selection of books for beginning students--until now. This is the single best book of its kind on the market, bar none. In all my years, I've never had students brag on a book like this one: easy to read, well-organized, thoughtful, practical, visually attractive, and substantive. My best compliment is that I can teach three times the material in half the time just by using this text--and people understand it! I can't brag enough on the author's work. This is phenomenal. ANYONE who wants to master the basics of public speaking should read this cover to cover. The principles and techniques Mr. Gregory describes are effective, powerful, and described in a simple way. BRAVO! I'll recommend this to everyone.

This review is from: Public Speaking for College and Career (Paperback)
I was extremely pleased of the FAST delivery and the quick replies from the seller with my questions. This seller definitely deserves a five star review. I would highly recommend buying from this seller. The book came in great condition. Better than I thought considering that it was used. :)

This review is from: Public Speaking for College and Career (Paperback)
I trully enjoyed this book, even though I am not a fan of text books. It has helped me develop stronger speaking skills, and I am not very good at public speaking. It's not a how to book, its simply a guide which offers tips and ideas on how you should present various topics.
