Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/18/2024	Professor Mays was hands down my favorite professor this semester. She made class very accommodating, and easy. This class is relatively small, so the class environment made it easier for me to give speeches. She gives out an outline and prepares you very well to do good in speeches. The impromptu speeches and quizzes are very easy, as everything is in the textbook. Also, the final was voted on by the class, and we chose an advertisement, which was fairly easy and quick to complete. Professor Mays had a lot going on this semester, but she was very nice and tried her best. I truly appreciate her for being so authentic to her students, I wish we had more professors like he, shoutout Professor Mays!!!

Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Expecting an A+ tchin1 12/26/2023	Course: Course was public speaking with other assignments focusing more on interactions with others and inclusivity. Quizzes you can CTRL F the textbook pages. Speeches progressively get longer as the year goes on. I finished with a 100.04% Breakdown: - Speeches (4), 60%, these go Introductory, Informative, Persuasive, and Professional. The times go from 1-2 minutes, 4-5 minutes, 6-8 minutes, 8-10 minutes, respectively. It sounds intimidating but if you choose a topic you are actually interested in, it goes by pretty fast. The last two have visual aid slideshows. These get easier as you have more practice, and as long as you prepare well, then you should be fine. - Assignments (11), 35%, these include chapter quizzes, speech reflections, and impromptu speeches. Chapter quizzes are pretty easy as long as you can find it in the textbook, speech reflections should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete, and impromptu speeches are kind of like pop up speeches on the fly, but are really easy. Just talk about something that you like about for 1 ½ - 2 minutes and you will get points. - Final, 5%, this is really easy. You get to vote as a class as to what you want your final assignment to be, and ours was to create an advertisement. I finished it in 20 minutes virtually asynchronous and got 100%. Professor: SHE IS THE BEST! She is very understanding of the fact that public speaking is a hard skill and a very big fear of many people, and makes the class a very warm and welcoming environment. She WANTS all of her students to end with an A+, and those who came to class and put in minimal effort ended up with an A. She is super nice, cares about every single person, and she felt more like a very knowledgeable friend rather than my professor. I would recommend anyone to take her for a communications class, if they’re ok with earlier classes (class starts anywhere from 8:00 - 10:30 AM). If there is only 8 am left, take it, it's worth it!
Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/21/2023	Great person all around. If you meet all of the requirements for your speech, she will give you full points. Any comms class will push you out of your comfort zone if you're not accustomed to public speaking, but she makes it doable for her students. Her class has a very light workload. There are 4 total speeches, ranging in time requirements from 1.5-10 minutes, a handful of open-book take-home quizzes (free points), small assignments here and there, and a few extra credit assignments. My class had no midterm and a final assignment. In all, Prof. Mays-Williams is such a kind, understanding, and intelligent professor that will make your comms class a breeze :)
Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/13/2023	Great professor, understands that this is an easy class that most students are taking to cover their comm credit. Doesn't grade harshly, even if you don't like public speaking, very accommodating and offers extra credit, both assignments and for participation. We had three speeches, with a few more really minor ones, and our "final" was a simple creative project, but we got to vote for it, so might be different in other classes. Additionally, Prof. Mays-Williams is really kind and friendly, loved her as a person. Plus, class size was small (15-20 students), so overall chill, friendly atmosphere, and made speeches much less nervewracking in front of a small audience. Would definitely recommend!!
Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/30/2023	Amazing prof, she made class enjoyable and made me want to wake up for the 9am class with no hesitation. She doesn't take attendance minus for the one week of the last set of speeches for audience credit. As long as you fulfill the speech requirements, she's giving you a 100% on everything. The quizzes are really easy (and two tries), just command+f the online textbook. Impromptu speeches are completion so don't stress about them. I went in reluctant about a comm gen ed but she made me so much more of a confident speaker - especially for longer durations and I loved that we could choose our own topics. BTW she loves pumpkins. Participate because class is only fun that way and when you participate, others usually follow and the students can lowkey make or break the experience (my class had very engaged students and she even said we were her fav class because we were actually engaged and participated, she def reciprocates the energy we give her). I recommend her to anyone needing to take INAG

She is very accommodating towards students and I can't stress that enough. If there is something going on, just go talk to her and she will make things work. Class workload was manageable - you have 4 speeches, 1 midterm and 1 final. Public presenting is difficult but she makes the small class environment a warm and welcoming one so you won't ever feel embarrassed to go up there.

I was not looking forward to public speaking, but Mays-Williams created a comfortable environment for every student to succeed. I could tell that they made an effort to get to know each student. The grading was also lenient in my opinion. I gave speeches that I personally thought were bad, but I would only get a few points off, never to the point where it significantly impacted my grade. The midterm/final were just multiple choice questions that were easy to answer if you just paid attention during the in-class lectures and reviewed vocab a bit. Would totally recommend Mays-Williams for this class.

Not a class you need to go every time but I would say easiest gen-ed ever, I got ended with a 82% which is pretty good bc i did not try with my speeches but if i did try i bet i wouldve ended up with an A. Also make sure to make friends in the class bc the first week there's like a small group project (leading a discussion)

Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/07/2020	To her credit, Prof. Mays-Williams is very kind and seems very knowledgeable about the content of the textbook she teaches. However, to put it simply, she is not good at teaching. She often gives incredibly vague instructions for assignments, and when asked to clarify, either gives a more confusing answer or contradicts herself. Also, she very clearly pulls assignment ideas out of thin air, which results in a lot of our assignments being not well thought out and therefore tough to complete properly. That being said, if you're willing to just keep your head down and power through the confusion, it's not very difficult to get a good grade.
Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/05/2020	The class is easy, but she is not really a good teacher. She is extremely vague on assignment details/due dates and often contradicts herself. It also seems like she constantly just pulls assignments out of her ass, as a lot of them are assigned last minute and don't make much sense. That being said, it is still easy to get an A, especially if you know how to b.s. for those stupid assignments or when she calls on you in class discussion.
Chelsea Mays-Williams INAG110 Anonymous 11/26/2019	Professor Mays-Williams is great. For one, she don't want you to fail the class. She tells you the first day of class what you need to do to get an A. She's very fair while grading the speeches and if you ask her she'll explain how you can improve. She loves, loves, loves participation in class. I think it makes a bit sad when we don't participate. She keeps the class interesting with little games sometimes. I really don't like public speaking but prof mays makes the class bearable. All in all, i'll advice everyone to take her class.

To her credit, Prof. Mays-Williams is very kind and seems very knowledgeable about the content of the textbook she teaches. However, to put it simply, she is not good at teaching. She often gives incredibly vague instructions for assignments, and when asked to clarify, either gives a more confusing answer or contradicts herself. Also, she very clearly pulls assignment ideas out of thin air, which results in a lot of our assignments being not well thought out and therefore tough to complete properly. That being said, if you're willing to just keep your head down and power through the confusion, it's not very difficult to get a good grade.

Expecting an A

The class is easy, but she is not really a good teacher. She is extremely vague on assignment details/due dates and often contradicts herself. It also seems like she constantly just pulls assignments out of her ass, as a lot of them are assigned last minute and don't make much sense. That being said, it is still easy to get an A, especially if you know how to b.s. for those stupid assignments or when she calls on you in class discussion.

Professor Mays-Williams is great. For one, she don't want you to fail the class. She tells you the first day of class what you need to do to get an A. She's very fair while grading the speeches and if you ask her she'll explain how you can improve. She loves, loves, loves participation in class. I think it makes a bit sad when we don't participate. She keeps the class interesting with little games sometimes. I really don't like public speaking but prof mays makes the class bearable. All in all, i'll advice everyone to take her class.
