The Amazon Store at MillionDollarPetPix.com ( In association with Amazon.com )Effective Communication for Colleges - Missing pagesI ordered the book. I knew it was a used book but I had no idea pages were missing. Not only am out the money I paid for this book. I had to buy another book. Have a good day. Rating:  - Too many editions, too expensiveWe've used this book for three years to teach college business communications, but it may be time to hunt another book. The book is too expensive at $100. Also, the publisher has issued three new editions in the past three years. That makes it impossible for students to re-sale used books and is frustrating to students and instructors. If the book were a better value, we probably would continue to use it; as it is, we can find something cheaper for our students. Rating: - DO NOT USE THIS TEXTI used both the previous edition and current edition of this text to teach college students. Both editions were full of errors and contradictory statements. In particular, you cannot rely on the instructor materials- there are many test questions that have answers that are contradicted in the text. Also, the grammar exercises are too difficult for an introductory text- they test students on advanced grammar concepts that are not even covered by the book! There is a grammar reference section at the end of the text but it does not cover the majority of concepts tested in the end-of-chapter grammar exercises. So, my students were continually frustrated. Many of the examples in the book are also very strange- for example, instead of PowerPoint, they speak of "computer generated slides". Rating:  - This text is highly effective for teaching communications!Pensacola Junior College has used Effective Communication for Colleges in our Business Communications class for several years. This textbook includes just exactly what we need to enable our students to communicate effectively both orally and in writing. The emphasis on grammar review is highly relevant and well constructed. The examples shown are timely and appealing to our students. Supplementary materials are helpful and easy to access. Keep up the good work! page 1 of 1
