Pros: This class was a fun and easy class. We did a lot of group work, but never anything that was too bad. There were always fun projects, and interesting things to talk about.
Cons: It's only on Friday so you can't really miss, but I never really wanted to miss anyway.

Pros: Cancels class sometimes.
Fairly easy.
Cons: Takes attendance.
Thinks she knows everything.
This whole class is group work. If you hate group work, RUN FROM THIS CLASS. If you like group work, you may enjoy it. Chambers sometimes thinks she knows everything, but she is friendly. You have to give one five minute speech. It isn't too bad. She doesn't grade too harshly. It is a pretty easy class. There is a midterm and a final but no other tests. I don't care anything about communication, but it was still an alright class. You probably have to take this class. She isn't too bad.

Pros: Rarely assigns/checks homework.
Clear, cohesive instruction.
Decent amount of group work...which can be a con.
Always gives good feedback on your presentations.
Cons: When assigning bonus points to groups, she is partial to those that present or talk about things she relates to.
You don't need to buy the textbooks; just get her supplement (which she'll tell you about).

Pros: Energetic and enthusiastic, friendly if you are on her good side.
Cons: Heavy workload outside of class
She is overall a good teacher, she is very energetic and makes the class as interesting as she can. Lots of group work. You need to know that there will be a LOT of work outside of class, especially with your group. She is very encouraging with your speeches and also very understanding when their is a problem within your group. Make sure you email her through her gmail account and not her school email. Frequent use of Facebook which you will have to get used to. One thing I noticed though, she seems to have her favorites in the class.

Pros: Easy class
Cons: She is unorganized. Treats you like your kids.
Class was good. Attendance is mandatory and she is a good teacher and explains things well. As long as you go to class and do the work correctly you should get an A.

Pros: fair tests and projects, fun to talk to, friendly and helpful in and outside of class
Cons: pretty tough sometimes
She is OK. I got a C in this class so... But almost everyone else gets an A. Therefore I still recommend everyone to take her class.

Pros: The Material wasn't hard
Cons: Her attitude towards others and her lack of communication!
I hated this class. For some reason she acted as if she did not like me and had an attitude the whole semester. I missed a speech because of a doctors appt that i had for the metal plate in my head and she didn't let me make it up and I had a doctors excuse! The class consists of fairly easy material, but I was given a horrible grade, for what reason I have no clue because all my work was done except that one speech that she wouldn't let me do. You're put into random groups that you don't get to choose, regardless of the situation. She does not answer my emails, so far I have sent 3+ back to back that have not been answered about recieving my grades. I would not recommend her to anyone.

Pros: Great personality. Really enthusiastic about the subject. She understands that public speaking can be difficult and does her best to make it as easy as possible. Teaches lectures using plenty of examples that apply to real life. The class was put into groups, and we had a lot of group work, so we actually got to know our classmates. Really simple, straightforward class.
Cons: Don't be absent or tardy on speech days. Points will be counted off from your speech grade. Don't be too tardy, either. After 5 minutes into class, the door shuts and locks and you won't be able to get in.
I really enjoyed this class. Came out with a pretty easy A. I was a little worried when I found out that there would be alot of group work, but it ended up being really fun. I got to know my group members pretty well. The final is mandatory, but is so incredibly easy if you study the material. The only two tests are a final and a midterm. The other grades come from a few speeches, group work, and a couple group presentations. The biggest speech is a pursuasive speech that comes at the end of the semester, but it only has to be 5-7 minutes long, so it's not too bad. Really simple class. I recommend it.

There is a ton of group work which can be really frustrating. It mostly has to be done outside of class and there are several speeches, but it's not too bad. Mrs. Chambers is really nice so that helps

Pros: Fun course material
Cons: A LOT of group work.
Facebook interaction group
Ms. Chambers claims she is willing to meet with students/communicate with them regarding classwork, but she never returns emails. Ever. Don't expect her to. She has a tendency of treating her students as though they are eight years old. But her class is fun (sometimes because of this comical treatment) and relatively easy, other than the multiple group projects.

Pros: you will get an A in the class if you do the work assigned.
she is a nice person, and attempts to make the lectures interesting.
posts notes online.
Cons: She makes the class way too time consuming for an INTRO to comm class.
She will not post grades on mycourses.
attendance in mandatory.
checking your facebook is part of your grade.
At first I enjoyed the class, and honestly took it because I thought it would require less public speaking than a public speaking class. I was wrong. The group work is a little ridiculous.. the majority of the projects that are due are group projects, and you will have at least one project per week or two. also I didn't anticipate the amount that facebook would be used in her class, I find it silly. In the end I got an A, but it was not worth all the busywork and frustration I had to deal with, especially knowing I had more important classes to worry about.

Ms. Cheryl's class isn't my favorite, but it's really not that bad. She is young and easy to relate to. Her lectures can sometimes be mind-numbingly boring and simple. But as far as the speeches you have to give, they are nothing to be scared of. If you enjoy working with a group, this is definitely the class to take. You do almost everything with your group, and I've found that that makes speeches and other projects much less intimidating. This class isn't hard at all, but you have to be willing to put in some effort because your group evaluates you and that can affect your grade. Attendance is also very important.
Overall, I'd recommend her for your speech credit.

She treated her class like 4th graders. We were threatened to have our names written down for "not clapping" after speeches. She lectured alot. You are put into groups that you may or may not like and you are required to do sooo much with them! even outside of class....She post things on her facebook group, so everytime you get on facebook you have to check. I personally dont like having class on facebook. Would not recommended. You have to come to class! You only get 2 absent days!

By far the best teacher Ive had at MSU. Coming into fall semester I was undeclared until I had her in class. She was so great that at the end of the semester I changed my major to Communications. She does a great job making the students feel comfortable with public speaking. She is also very accessible outside the class room and easy to talk to. Very enjoyable class and I would highly recommend Ms Chambers.

Cheryl is a very fair teacher. The class could be boring at times, but that was just the nature of the material,and not her fault. Have to give 4 speeches, which was not as bad as it sounds. Tests are multiple choice and fair and pretty easy. Attendance is very important though.
