A First Look at Communication Theory
At the request of numerous instructors, we've created Instructors-only features for the website that are not available to students. In past editions, there were intellectual benefits for students who wrestled with ideas in the Suggestions for Discussion section of Langan's Instructors Manual, just as some students making class presentations drew upon the Exercises and Activities material. But these advantages were outweighed by the inoculation effect that was evident when instructors faced students who already knew Langan's best ideas to empower the teacher. In edition 9, we also added some short-answer quiz questions and other features that are obviously for teachers only. We therefore ask you to validate your instructor status in order to receive a password for the Instructor's portion of the site.
