This manual provides a structured pedagogical framework for instructors to effectively teach the core principles of human communication as outlined in the primary textbook by McCroskey and Wheeless. The author, Michael R. Moore, synthesizes the theoretical foundations of communication studies into practical classroom applications, offering educators a roadmap for lesson planning, student assessment, and the facilitation of complex interpersonal and public speaking concepts. By aligning instructional activities with the textbook's chapters, the manual serves as a bridge between academic theory and practical classroom delivery.

This manual functions as a standard academic support tool, providing a systematic approach to the curriculum established by McCroskey and Wheeless. Its utility is defined by its adherence to the foundational communication theories prevalent in mid-1970s higher education.
