For Students Fully integrated with our text, the student resources include
the Speech Coach Video Library, PowerPoint and outlining tutorials, multiple-
choice self-quizzes, detailed chapter outlines and overviews, plus key terms
within each chapter and their defi nitions. Each video segment in the Speech
Coach Video Library can be viewed independently of the others and is coordi-
nated with a specifi c chapter in the text. Marginal text icons indicate where a
particular video segment would be appropriate. The Speech Coach videos not
only reinforce the text but also preview material to be covered later in more
depth.
For Instructors The password-protected instructor section of the Web site
includes the Instructor’s Manual (IM), written by the text authors. This IM in-
cludes a variety of excellent resources for new and experienced teachers. These
include strategies for managing multi-sectional courses, a primer for graduate
assistants and first-time teachers, and quick references to the speechmaking
skills highlighted in each chapter. The IM offers a number of in-class activi-
ties, sample syllabi for semester- and quarter-length terms, sample evaluation
forms, and transparency masters. In addition, approximately 1,800 test items,
including multiple-choice, true–false, and essay questions are available in the
Instructor’s Computerized Test Bank. PowerPoint lecture slides are also avail-
able to aid instructors.
