Introduction

INAG110 Oral Communication is used to support teaching and learning for INAG110 at the University of Maryland (UMD). Faculty at the Institute for Applied Agriculture arranged and edited this text to meet the needs of our course at UMD.  The editor adapted portions of Introduction to Speech Communication, Communication in the Real World and Business Communication: Five Core Competencies.  In some cases TerpAi was used in the editing process. 

We at University of Maryland acknowledge our gratitude for the expertise and generosity of the scholars at Oklahoma State University, University of Minnesota, James Madison University, Kristen Lucas; Jacob D. Rawlins; and Jenna Haugen, the Open Education Network and elsewhere for creating and sharing customizable versions of their work.
