Review :
"The boxes are culturally relevant, applicable and thought-provoking." "The role of media has arguably never been more significant in our world so I appreciate seeing how this [Communication Currents] feature located examples of IPC elements in external artifacts like films and TV shows. Additionally, I think many instructors enjoy incorporating videos into lecture to change the learning style being addressed in the class session." "The text uses examples and media samples that demonstrate concepts in a way students can understand."
