"Reviewer Quotations: " " " "“ The text provides excellent suggestions for increasing confidence and assertiveness in daily interactions and applying this skill to public speaking situations. In comparison to our current text, Vasile’ s text is clear and organized and written so that a student can understand and identify with the content.” — Julie Raplee, St. Joseph’ s College"" " "“ I love this chapter [Saying a Few Words] — this is the communication student’ s biggest need — not necessarily how to give a formal public speech, but rather to communicate and speak daily on a wide variety of impromptu topics. Well done!” — Heather Dorsey, University of Minnesota"" " "“ My goal for the course is the same goal as Vasile’ s book: to help students speak with confidence one-on-one, in the small group, and before large groups.” -- Rich M. Breiner, University of Great Falls"
