                    prehensive teaching and learning resources.

                    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.
