Review for selection committes and heads of department. Particularly relevant to online courses.

This book is OK, and just OK.

I happen to use this book online and am very sensitive to its flaws because it is my sole resource to gather information for the course.

Negatives:

1. There are a few check figures, but not that many. Nor any supplementary material on a website somewhere where one could find check figures. If you have a poor instructor who does not participate in the discussion board (I do for this class), that can be a major drawback.

2. The price of the new edition is as low as $172. This text is definitely not worth that much. The solution manual alone is another $149

Positive:

1. The worked examples are good and they correspond to the problems in the back of the book most of the time.

2. The price of this edition is better than the newest edition and it is probably substantially the same thing. If you have a smaller class, then it's very likely that they will be able to find enough editions for the whole class at the rate of about $20 per edition.

3. Each problem has a pointer to the book's objective/ section where you can find relevant information to work through the problems.

Conclusion: I give this book a guarded recommendation. This text CAN work if you have a decent online instructor and some check figures for the students to work through.

In my initial scanning of the book I can see that it covers the subject matter in a very complete manner. I need this book to take an online course required for my 2nd Bachelor's degree in Communications. This book is the one required by my professor and in her judgment is the best for the coursework required because it is comprehensive and invites critical analysis of media past and present.

Excellent text for exploring enrollment management. The inclusion of an index would be useful for those using this as a textbook or reference manual.

It was a very good update of the college's catalog. Bishop Tice has recently modified it again to correct any issues at hand. Nice work.

An undergraduate level look @ leadership. Not terribly in-depth. Contains most widely accepted theories. Good application of them in each chapter.

Has a good overview of current methodology and a good overview of specializations. I've always had a lot of 'been there, done that' with introductory textbooks for psychological disciplines but I feel this gives a lot of information useful for class and for helping to decide where to go next in a potential career.

A good review of the process.  Lots of resources.  Some sections makes you want to know the why behind a concept

As we have seen an increase in online education these past years this is a well timed tool for instructors and administration.  Covering a huge amount of material in a short but decisive book, I discovered a wealth of informative and much needed guidance to help move forward in this age of online teaching and instruction.  As a one time internet student, I struggled with learning in this manner and can see the many benefits of professors using this book as a tool.

This is an excellent guide to outcomes and assessments that is designed for use by faculty and not strictly for administration.  So many books of this ilk focus on outcome assessment on a programmatic level, but this provides some excellent strategies for course level assessment.  This is helpful for both 4-year and 2-year institutions, as examples of outcomes and frameworks from both are provided in detail.  These could be adapted in any number of ways.  The book focuses on six subjects- Economics, Communication, History, Sociology, Biology, and Business.  While this is great, this is my only complaint with the book.  Math and English are the largest departments at my institution, and some course specific info would have been more helpful.  However, this is still a great resource for faculty and department chairs.

The book is aimed toward the head of engineering/senior development manager.
It cover a lot of aspects that a development manager has to deal with in his growing organization.
Overall a great resource maybe at sometime a little outdated.

I recommend that the Thematic Unit Guide be purchased by all schools and used as a resource for thematic units.  I am recommending this book to the media specialist at my school. In the future I would like to recommend the use of these types of books in all online classes.

I feel this is a very good book. It is current and up to date on how to do things from sending a professional resume to making a proposal and anything in between. It is a very important part of anyone's reference library.

Assigned reading for an organizational behavior class for a MBA program.

I bought the Kindle version of the text book,

It was fine.  I like the ability to highlight portions of text and then review the highlights in the note section.

Acquire skills for success and understand how electronic resume searches affect applicants with the aid of this new eighth edition of High Impact Resumes And Letters, a powerful book which contains practical information for tailoring a submission for maximum effect. This "userfriendly" guide covers everything from different types of employment letters for different situations to key questions and answers which should be addressed in a presentation. A powerful set of examples of winning results rounds out the workbook pages for fill-in participation.

This book is very readable.  The book begins by addressing issues in preparation of an online class, including a discussion of instructor and institution resources.  Also included are chapters on student preparation, student assessment and copyright.
The strength of the book, however, is in the chapters that discuss the workings of the online classroom itself.  What areas should my online classroom contain?  How do I go from lectures to online activities? How do I encourage participation, yet manage my workload? How do I manage the behavior of disruptive students?  I would definitely recommend the book for new teachers of online classes.  The book has enough depth that even experienced teachers can use it to review their current practices.

Very nice description of prioritisation techniques Kano, opportunity scoring.  I would suggest to add more examples of roadmaps and personas.
