The Presidential elections are one of...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy.

With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
