This page is designed for teachers of communication studies. Anyone who teaches the Hybrid Introductory course or courses in Small Group Communication or Interpersonal Communication will find this page helpful.

NOTE: This page contains links to other websites. When you click on one of these links, the page will load in a new browser window. To return to the Communication Studies website, simply close the browser window (the "Back" button will not work). If you're using an older browser, you may not be able to take advantage of this feature. We recommend downloading the latest version of Netscape at http://home.netscape.com or Internet Explorer at http://www.microsoft.com.

This site features interactive exercises and quizzes for each of the units. We encourage you to incorporate them in your class. You may, for example, assign points to students who complete the activities or quizzes. You may simply require that your students complete the activities, providing no points. You may give extra credit to students who complete the activities. Or, if you have web access in your classroom, you could complete the activities and quizzes as part of your lecture.

We have made it easy for your students to complete these exercises. Students have the option of emailing you their answers, emailing themselves the answers, or printing their answers. In any case, we encourage you to consider ways of incorporating these interactive exercises in your class. We think they will reinforce the ideas presented in the textbooks.
