Introduction to Communication
This text covers the basic concepts of communication as they might be taught in a hybrid introductory communication course. The text is kept lean, so faculty could adapt and supplement according to their own preferences. The text also made it flexible by using a structure of modules with sections within them, so faculty could select the parts and the order they want.
