Steven McCornack
Dr. Steven McCornack grew up in Seattle, Washington, where his love for mountains, the ocean, and grunge/emo music was forged. For as long as he can remember, he has been fascinated with how people create, maintain, and disband close relationships, especially the challenges confronting romantic couples. Steve is currently a Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he coordinates the public speaking program, and team-teaches the introductory interpersonal communication course with Kelly. Other than his love of teaching, Steve’s principal passions are his family, music (especially spinning vinyl records), meditation, movies, mechanical watches, yoga, karate, Kona coffee, and his 1985 Carrera Targa.

Interpersonal Communication and You
Steven McCornack, the award-winning teacher, noted scholar, and bestselling author, has done it again. Interpersonal Communication and You maintains the best theory, up-to-date research, engaging examples, and personal voice seen in Reflect and Relate but with a new focus on student self-reflection, application, and adaptive learning. The compelling read is paired with a simplified feature program that prompts students to measure concepts against their personal experiences while encouraging them to build essential skills to further improve their interpersonal lives.
Interpersonal Communication and You is available in a variety of digital formats, including the brand-new, time-saving LaunchPad edition that combines an interactive e-book, LearningCurve adaptive quizzing, over 70 integrated video activities, and ready-made assessment options curated into easy-to-assign units inside one convenient learning program.Select a demo to view:
