Fundamentals of Communication is an introductory course that surveys the diverse areas of communication as a field of study. The course focuses on the actual uses, processes, and socio-cultural importance of verbal and non-verbal communication. The course serves an important role as an introduction to various aspects of speech communication, including theories and definitions of communication interactions such as: interpersonal, professional, small group, and public speaking. Because this course spans the wide umbrella of speech communication interests, students will encounter varying types of communication exercises, both oral and written. This course was created through Interactive OER for Dual Enrollment, a project led by LOUIS: The Louisiana Library Network (https://louislibraries.org) and funded with a $2 million Open Textbooks Pilot Program grant from the Department of Education. This project supports the extension of access to high-quality post-secondary opportunities to high school students across Louisiana and beyond. It features a collaboration between educational systems in Louisiana, the library community, Pressbooks, and workforce representatives to enable and enhance the delivery of open educational resources (OER) and interactive quiz and assessment elements for priority dual enrollment courses in Louisiana and nationally. Developed OER course materials are released under a license that permits their free use, reuse, modification and sharing with others.

Preface: "The Garde Manger course is an introduction to the art and craft of the cold kitchen. It is rooted in preservation methods and techniques dating back to the days when the Garde Manger or 'keeper of the food' had no refrigeration and needed to preserve food for its wholesomeness. Techniques such as aspics and terrines are making a resurgence in the modern kitchen and a good foundation is important for you to be able to create your own niche as a modern chef. First, learn the old then redefine the new."

This text was created for CULA 230: Garde Manger at the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University.
