At the beginning of the year I rented the book Interplay: The Process of Interpersonal Communication. I use this book for the course Interpersonal Communication that I am currently enrolled in. This is a great textbook that is paperback and interesting to read.Interplay is a realistic fiction book that is useful for myself, being a communications major, but also for other students who are interested in the course. It’s an informative and easy text to read. Since the class that I am enrolled in isn’t really assignment based from the book, the text is useful in regards to just reading it and learning. Even though some students don’t favor in reading long pieces of text, this book gets really interesting it’s almost as if you start reading and just can’t stop. The authors greatly layout the ways of communication throughout each chapter. The book is written in two parts but the topics are discussed in twelve chapters. These chapters explain the fundamentals of relationships, communication skills, and the basics of interpersonal communication. Within these chapters are a variety of vocabularies that not only defines the word but also gives examples. The examples help to better understand the word which is really nice about this book. Another great aspect of this book is that the examples given could perhaps relate to your life or maybe you can get ideas of bad habits you may want to change. One thing that my professor does is have in class applications and these applications apply to each chapter with various scenarios in which the class must discuss.I do find this textbook very graphical. It includes a picture at the opening page of the chapter that symbolizes what will be discussed.
