Communication Skills
«
‘Each chapter explores a clearly defined topic, with concise learning objectives and key points sandwiching the chapter. Aside from the traditional usage of the index page to navigate to a specific topic, the learning outcomes mean you can delve into a certain section if you aren’t reading cover to cover, with more context applied than using solely the index. Activities to facilitate the reader’s comprehension are scattered throughout the book, but in a logical, non-disruptive manner as opposed to thrown in for the sake of filling a page. The activities fit the flow of information and provide opportunities for reflection and critical thinking (both important skills to develop in themselves). Chapters are followed with further reading and reference lists.
