Very inspiring professor. From the first day of class she showed such motivation and excitement in teaching us. She made the class easy and fun. Plus she's a cutie!
Possibly the most inspiring person I have ever had the opportunity to know.
Professor Sicre is a fantastic professor, who is truly dedicated to her students' performance. I have seen her take time after class to work assidously with students to help them prepare for their assignments. She's a fine professor and terrific mentor to all who are priveleged to take her class.
Ms. Sicre was an amazing prof,and we learned alot during the whole semester. the class was fun, entertaining, interesting and much more.
The best class I've taken in my 3 semesters at BMCC! She has a gift for creating a classroom environment where students feel comfortable standing in front of their peers and speaking publicly. Assignments were sometimes challenging but always relevant and I find myself using the skills I learned here in my personal and professional life.
Professor Sicre.. is Above AND bEYond .. i LOVED her class its the type of class you run to. Shes helped alot of US Conquer our fears. even out side of the class room take time out of her EXTREMLY tight shedule to help her students .. Shes beautiful inside and out!!AMAZING TEACHER A+ for sicre :)
Professor Sicre is one of the most amazing professors at BMCC. She made the class easily enjoyable by making us understand that Speech is extremely crucial in the business world. I found her easy to talk to, and very understanding. Don't let her charm fool you, put 110% into your speeches and you too will end up with an understanding of speech!
She's the best speech professor. Highly recommended and She's so cool when it comes to her students.
professor Daphnie Sicre was and still is an excellent teacher. She made the class fun and gave me the courage to give a good speech. Highly recommended =]
This Professor is by far the best and most enthusiastic and also energetic professor I have ever encountered in my educational pursuit.
If you are looking for a one of a kind Speech Professor then look no further as Professor. Sicre is the one! She is extremely knowledgeable as well as enthusiastic from the very first day of class and always sets forth a great positive attitude that will help you acquire the proper speech etiquette to be successful throughout your career!
she is an amazing proffesor. I never had a proffesor like her. i wish she taught every subject. if every teacher was like her there would be no such thing as a student failling a class or not wanting to come to class. Get more teachers like her!
great professor. she make you feels confident when you are doing a speech.she is very funny .and she give you a make up speech if fail in one.excellent teacher. : )
I love this Professor! She is the best I've had at BMCC. She truly enjoys teaching and really cares about her students. She is big on attendance, also gives weekly reading assignments followed by a quiz using notes. I learned a lot in this class and got an A.
She is very energetic woman. She is also big on attendance , she will surely scold you each time you are late. However, she is not good at giving back feedback and not clear of what she wants on assignments. She is entertaining and makes the class come alive but when it comes to your grade and confidence delivering a speech, she is no help.
Great professor, highly recommended. Strict on attendance.. A bit passive but other than that; this is the professor you want. Makes herself available and approachable at any time and makes the class very entertaining.
Her class has become my favorite class by far. She explains everything clearly, I'm able to get my work done without ny problems. I've enjoyed it so much, I haven't missed a day and the same for her. She's always on time, funny, but knows when to be serious. She is epic.
She is amazing, and very well educated. She actually loves to teach and has interest in her students. For speech, I'd definitely recommend her!
She is absolutely wonderful. She makes learning exciting and not boring. I wish I can have her again. This was a class that is actually worth waking up in the morning. She is always willing to help you in anyway. Anytime you email her she always answers back. Overall I loved her class.
Sicre is the best professor. Her inspiration made me realize that we are all dreamers and there is hope with hard work and dedication. Thank you professor Sicre. I never met an awesome teacher like you. Please stay awesome forever
Very seldom are you able to find a professor who can change not only the way you see a class that you would normally be wary of but also changes things within yourself. Prof. Sicre is that professor and much more. She is interactive, fun, funny, and makes the class not easy but fun in such a way that it makes the work seem a breeze. Truly Amazing.
I got to say I am really bad at giving speeches and I even took the class because it was a req. but after taking Prof. Sicre class, I changed my mind because she is an amazing instructor very energetic, she is very helpful and loves teaching, I took her last semester and I was impressed with her enthusiasm, that I wish I could take her again :'(
Great Professor.She locves teaching.Very helpul.I took a witer speech class,it was intense but absolutely possible to do and fun.I wish every professor would be as fun as she is, unfortunately most of them are not.Of course you have to do your part of the job an A won't show up out of nowhere.
She is an amazing professor, I understand aher and shemakes it interesting for us to learn
She is at great person, loves her students. She is very helpful. She such a great professor, I was so luck to meet a woman like her. You will totally love her class and her personality.
AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!!i was afraid of speech and with her, i learned to defeat the stage fright. I made amazing presentations with her help!! A+++
Professor Sicre was a good professor. Funny,energetic and so forth, expect for the one time she snapped on the entire class and started yelling and cursing at us because some one told her there was a student at the door, and she had to get up and answer it opposed to one of us.attendance, is a must as well as the having the book along.
If you miss this class, its ur loss!! If you wanna know about the confidence, take this class. Dont think this class would be easy. However, once you get confident, you will enjoy this class and love her. She is also the most passionate professor I've ever met! :) I 100% GUARANTEED THAT THIS CLASS IS THE BEST CLASS AMONG other speech classes. !
a very great professor! take it and u will have a wonderful experience! very clearly about the grading, very funny, also really nice to the students, everyone in my class likes her. through the list she give to u, u can count your score already, unlike some professor grade by their feeling. super recommend!
Prof. Sicre is a really cool speech teacher , very funny, energetic , she is very helpful and understanding. Even if you hate public speaking , she makes you feel more at ease because she doesn't go super hard if you mess up. I really recommend taking this class, if you follow her instructions on how to do the speeches , you will get an easy A.
Professor Sicre should be a role model for professors all around, she is the kind of professor that is happy when their students are doing well, and will work extra hard if the opposite happens. If you are unsure about Speech but need to take it I highly recommend professor Sicre.
Highly recommend to take her class. She is caring all students but not tolerating mistakes. She will guide you to make real progress. She teaches with her heart.If you follow her instruction you will get good grade.
LOVEDDDDDD THIS CLASS I WISH I COULD TAKE THIS CLASS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN- DEF. RECOMMEND TO FRESHMAN'S!! OR ANYONE!! Fav. Class Ive Taken In BMCC
I hated public speaking, until I took her class!! She makes EVERYONE feel comfortable, she laughs when someone tries to make a joke (even tho its not funny), she is just so sweet and great. It is not an easy A, you must follow her instructions. But if you do, you will do great (always be on time or you will miss the quizzes)
Stop looking at other professors, this is the only person you need to look up. She is the best speech teacher imaginable. By the end of her class, you should be able to command an army. A very helpful and smart woman. He class is an easy A if you do everything she asks of you. Nothing more could be said about this gorgeous woman. Take her class!
I know there are two things that can change you life which are education and social. Prof.Sicre gives you both, she cares about every students and wants you to make friends. Just follow her instruction, even thought u did bad but you tried then you will get a good grade.
Professor SIcre a smart woman. I learned a lot from speech. Because of Professor Sicre I'm not scare of the world of academics. Thank you!
She is a great professor, really helpful specially if you get nervous.
She is an amazing professor that I have ever met before. She is very energetic, vivid, skillful and professional. She is very strict, but easy going.
great presentation! enjoy it but you also need to work hard to get A.
Awesome Professor! She is the best Professor at BMCC. She is very fair, as long as you prove to her that you are a hard working student. She makes the class fun, and is very funny. I took her three semesters ago. If you want an A for the class all you have to do is do your speech presentations and follow her instructions. My favorite of all is her.
Great professor, always willing to help. Makes coming to class enjoyable instead of the "why do I have to be here" attitude. HIGHLY Recommended you search for her ONLY when looking to take a speech course.
Wow!! She is amazing, specially if you are a freshman, she provides a lot if information and is incredibly helpful. If you are a good student and you have an issue, she will work with you, if you are lazy, always late, don't expect a big smile. She is incredibly fair, but she knows who is serious and who isn't. Great professor.
this professor is amazing she is very helpful, she cares she wants you to pass her class, she is very fun , energetic, and she is spontaneous. i recommend anyone to have her as a pofessor.
Sicre is the best professor you could ever imagine. She teaches very well, makes it fun to give a speech and is incredibly helpful. I have known her since my very first semester. She has been incredibly helpful with all my academic choices, always willing to recommend you and wants you to succeed in life. She is the kindest person.
Oh she is just awesome! She is intelligent, funny, and expressive. She is honest and she tells you exactly what she wants in her class. Never hesitating to help, always very understanding and patient. Her class is just incredible, I cried when I was leaving. Speech is hard, but so much fun and pleasure! Definitely recommend!
So far THE BEST professor in BMCC, highly recommended!
She is an amazing professor. Deff recommend her to anyone. I was heisted to take a speech class, but I am glad she was my speech professor. She is very clear to what she expects of you.
Hands down, the best professor in the entire school. She makes you become more comfortable with yourself and with your peers. You begin to learn everyone's name and it becomes a fun class. The professor is such an amazing person. She will help you with anything. I highly recommend her as your speech professor or for any other class. She's the best
Professor Sicre is AMAZING, to say the least. She is dedicated to the students and to the class itself. She teaches with a lot of enthusiasm which gives the class a lot of interest. She inspires her students to strive and she strengthens your speaking abilities as well as your confidence when giving a speech. One of the best at this school!
She is amazing. makes classes interesting and you have to give speeches in class which she takes time and explain it. the semester with her passes really quickly you would not even know when its the last class. she is really nice and helpful
She is very nice and helpful. She is always there for you when you have questions and you need help. She inspires her students and developes trust in them. The best professor i ever had in bmcc!
Prof. Sicre is wonderful. Took her AGAIN for speech 220 (public speaking dealing with social Justice). Get to know about the world that we all live in, and who we truly are dealing with the masks we all wear. All books are on black board. Start working on your videointerviews first( toward the end of the semester it will get stressful). Good luck!
Professor Sicre is awesome. If you're nervous about public speaking take her class. Must follow her outline. Best professor at BMCC!!
Prof Sicre is one of the best professors I have taken. She provides you with all the necessary tools for you to prepare for you speeches. Since I took this class in the winter, it was very intense, but through this class, I am more confident in my speaking. She is very helpful and had us send outlines before class to provide feedback. Truly amazing
she is great. is very helpful and clear what you need to do . follow her outline
One of the best speech professors from BMCC. I would definitely take her class again. The only thing you need to do to get an A is following the syllabus. Love Her
Great professor! I do think she takes the 100 class a bit too seriously but it's probably because I'm not a theatre major and it doesn't interest me much but other than that you can see she loves what she teaches and although I'm not a theatre major, I definitely learned a lot!!! Definitely must take her if you want to learn and earn an A!
i find her amazing ! she's awesome as a speech professor ! i love her! she's really good. all you need to know if you skip classes is all on the syllabus and i love that. if anything she will email you the correct one. she is funny too, especially her story telling throughout the semester. if your reading this prof sicre, your awesome !
Great professor! She takes theatre 100 class a bit too seriously but she loves what she teaches. I definitely learned a lot and would probably take her again. Get there on time and follow the syllabus. She is good and fair
Sicre is the most amazing teacher you'll ever come across. She genuinely cares about her students! Very encouraging and helpful. Love her! You won't regret taking this class!
Amazing Professor. She makes it very clear what she want in your speech and as long as you do it you get th points. Easy A. The speechs didnt take too much time to write and she always gave feedback. And easy open book quizzes. The text book is cheap and you never need to bring it to class. I hate public speaking and was still able to ace her class
She is very helpful and caring. Course syllabus is very important in her class. she take quizzes in every class but it's very easy as we can use our notes. Bonus points in every activities which she told to do like- email her after the first day of class. She is so amazing that you will enjoy this class too much.
WOW! Professor Sicre is a PHENOMENAL speech professor. I was extremely afraid to take speech class. Now if I could take her course again I sure would. Quizzes are open book, you know your grade as you go along she uses a point system sheet. You can receive bonus points. She is there for you if you have a situation, communication is key, passed than
Prof. Sicre is AMAZING! Hands down one of the best professors at BMCC. I highly recommend her class. She's so lively, and helps you to overcome fear of public speaking. Classes are always engaging and interesting, which makes time go by faster. But don't let those characteristics fool you; you really have to work hard on your speeches to get an A.
Hands down the best professor at BMCC. Very helpful, very funny, she will always give it to you straight up. She makes sure everyone is comfortable. She gives quizzes every time theres a reading due, so make sure to get the textbook. The quizzes are very easy, she lets you use notes on a separate sheet of paper to use while taking the quizzes.
Extremely tough grader, a lot of pop quizzes, readings, and essays.
Professor Sicre is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to theatre and passionate about the subject. Most assignments can be done early bc everything is already on blackboard. Quizzes are all open notes and the questions on the final came straight from the quizzes. As long as you do your work you will do well in this class.
Sicre is seriously awesome! Not only is she passionate about theatre, but also about teaching it. This course is a lot of work, but she lets you know that from day one. Everything is on the syllabus , nothing is unexpected, and there are no surprises whatsoever! This is by no means an easy A, but you will leave this course feeling very accomplished
Prof. Sicre is GREAT!!! You will love it in her class. she makes her class so interesting with these amazing activities. She is NEVER a tough grader!! She gives so many extra credit to boost your grade. She gives so many chances for you to pass. Even the quizes we take are open book! She's one of the best professors I ever had!!! She's AMAZING!!!!!
Professor Sicre is awesome! She does not give pop quizzes, in fact they are OPEN BOOK QUIZZES and are SUPER EASY because they come straight from the chapters. She is very helpful and is there for you when you need her. I had a great time in her class. I have also learned a lot about theater. I recommend taking her class!!!
Professor Daphnie Sicre is amazing. I got to know her on a one to one basis, as she makes herself available to all her students, and she has helped me tremendously. Not only did I receive an A, I definitely got more than my money's worth! Fun lectures, creative HW, down to earth, easy to talk to, HILARIOUS! The woman LOVES her job. TAKE HER!!!!!!!
Professor Sicre is the best professor at BMCC. She graduated from two Ivy league schools. I didn't like speaking in public at all but after taking her class it was not a problem anymore.
Professor Sicre is AMAZING! She does not give pop quizzes, in fact she only give OPEN BOOK QUIZZES and are really easy because they come straight from the chapters. She is very helpful and caring. As long as you do your work you will do well in this class. I had a great time in her class. I recommend taking her class!!!
Prof. Sicre is the best professor in the universe! Loved her speech 100 class so I took her advance public speaking class just for the hell of it. It is way more advanced obviously but was still a lot of fun the reading is very important and is where the advance part comes in but feel free to ask her questions if you don't understand SHE'S AMAZING!
Treats students as if they were in an "Ivy League" university. AVOID.
Having the textbook is a must. She gives open book quizzes and in order to pass you'll need to read. She is a great professor
Prof Sicre Rocks!!! She makes class interesting and has a great grading system. Come to class on time, don't be absent, follow syllabus and show effort and believe me an A will be given. She is always Ready, Willing and Able to help. Furthermore, she also teaches THE100 which I am taking now and she has the same teaching techniques.
She would be great if it was a advanced theatre class , but for an entry level class she a bit demanding and excessive with the work. The basic work in the class is pretty easy about one quiz a day . But the group play and the assignment to see a live play will hurt your grade if you don't do it . Don' take if your not interested in theatre.
Prof Sicre is AMAZING. She has taught me so much about theatre, once taking this class you would see everything differently from theatre spaces to different lights. she gives quizzes every class, but they are open book! her group projects are fun and educational. Great prof! would take her any day!
This was my first semester and although I was nervous for this class, this Professor definitely is there to help you understand and gives wonderful feedback, helping me to improve after every speech. She also teaches a theater class which I will, without a doubt be enrolling in.
Prof. Sicre's class is no joke, expectations are high, but shouldn't that be the case if you are in a 200 level course? Quizzes are open notes. Gives you days to work/workshop on the speeches in class & gives feedback. Textbook is free. Everything is in the syllabus. The class is not easy but if you do all the work & on time, you will get an A.
One of the best professors at BMCC, class was easy and she's so nice. Hats are not allowed in her class lol so save yourself the trouble and just dont wear one, she'll tell you to take it off bad hair day and all, but she tells you this the 1st day of class. Test were open book from your notes only.
Sicre remains a mentor beyond the classroom and college and inspires me to work towards my goals. Take her as your professor, to get an education that goes beyond the classes she teaches. Class is fun and funny. She is brilliant, wise, charismatic, passionate, and caring. She loves teaching and loves her students even more. I highly recommend her.
horrible experience stay away
I took this course over the winter session so the work was intense as Professor attempted to teach 3 months of work into 3 weeks. The work was tough but I thought she did I great job teaching the class. Expect group projects and of course several speeches will be asked of you to do. She also did a great job calming public speaking fears.
As scared as i was about speech class, she helped me conquer my stage freight & fear. I wouldn't have passed this class if it wasn't for this professor's guidance & teaching. she is so nice & made everyone feel comfortable. I took it in winter & the class was short & spicy. And the professor? She's the sweetest thing ever.
I took her class a few years back and I loved it. I've missed a day or two of other classes I've taken, but that never happened with her's. She makes learning fun and you actually get your money's worth when taking her class. She is strict at times, but trust me when I say, it dose help you in the long run. I would recommend her class if asked.
Professor Sicre will forever be my favorite professor!! She is so down to earth and makes the class feel so comfortable. I also love how she sincerely cares for her students. Even if your major is not what she is familiar with, she will try her best to help you with any questions! thanks for the awesome experience!!
Sicre is the best professor I have ever had. It is easy to get an A if you do everything that is expected from you. She loves her students so if you ever have a problem, she will be there for you. But do NOT be late for her class because your grade will suffer, plus the pop quizzes are at the beginning of class. Like I said before, she is amazing!!
Professor Sicre is by far one of the greatest professors here at BMCC. She is awesome, I mean really awesome. The textbook is free on blackboard. Gives you great feedback on your speech outlines, if you need any help with something not related to her class she will be there for you. I would totally recommend her if you need to take SPEECH 100.
Do yourself a favor and take someone else
Professor Sicre is a very intelligent and caring individual that would teach you what you need to know to be a successful and strong public speaker. Listen to her feedback and use it to improve the areas that you need to work on. She truly cares for all he students and she works with her heart. It was really a great pleasure to be in her class.
One of the best professors i've ever had. Has clear grading criteria, you'll know throughout the semester what you're getting and why you're getting them to improve yourself. She also gives you clear outlines to help on your speeches. And the best thing, No Textbook! Don't even bother paying for anything. Take her if you haven't done so yet!
Amazing!TheBest Prof. in BMCC i believe, Enthusiasticcharismatic& cheerful. Some of my personal exp. i was kinda shy&nervous goin in front of evry1&presenting my work, after being in this class&wid prof. guide now i feel i will b cool even presenting in da auditorium,drastic change IK. i will never forget her. Keeping it simple, take her. DS
Professor Sicre is a gem. Extremely clear as to what is expected. If you can do that you'll not only pass her class you'll get an A easily as well. She makes her lectures extremely fun and they are never boring. Let's you write speeches about what you want! She is by far my favorite professor so far in college and I recommend that you take her!!!!
If you are preparing to take this class be prepared for a lot of self help, assignment descriptions were extremely vague but yet they were graded on a strict rubric. Be aware that "dumb questions" do exist in this course and only take this course with this prof. if it's your last resort! Mega thumbs down on teaching styles, not approachable at ALL
The best professor you can ask for. You won't even feel like you are doing work for this class you WILL enjoy it :)
One of the best prof for speech, just do the work easy A
Amazing! I got my classes 2 days before the semester started, and you'd think I'd get bad professors. NOPE! She's easy to understand, she's funny, and she actually cares about you and your grade. Best professor I had this semester!!
Most of the people who gave professor Sicre a bad rating were all late on their assignment, their speeches were sloppy and seemed like they were put together last minute, they interrupted other student speeches by coming in late, and they just seemed like they didn't try. The prof. is there for you. There's no reason to not do well in her class.
Professor Sicre is one of the best professors in BMCC. She is a beautiful person inside and out, and understands her students. She will give you chances to do well in class, but don't be late and don't skip class unless you really have to do it. BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!
First day I wanted to drop due to the syllabus but as time passed the work load was not too much nor as difficult as it seemed. U have to go see a play but you'll thank her for that. Projects were fun, especially the final project. Lots of quizzes but they're helpful for midterm/final. Def would take her again.
Professor Sicre is very inspiring. She challenges you to be your best. There is a lot of reading in the class, your participation will matter but the lectures are amazing and you become a new person after her class. Thank you Professor Sicre for making a difference!
Very professional, caring and gives great feedback which is very helpful.
Great professor. If you do your work and attend class you'll pass.
Wonderful, Caring, understanding, strict, respected, very professional, efficient, always on top of everything. Lots of opportunities for bonus points. Assigns a few more speeches than other prof but they help sharpen your skills. Her expectations are very clear and syllabus is easy to understand & promptly updated w/changes. Leads by example.
I took this class to avoid entering any other art classes, instead found a new interest in theatre. Seriously though, even if you have a hard time following the lesson, she has tons of resources left on blackboard for all the students to use. The only drawback is the amount of work you have to do, but honestly the work was fun and easy.
This Professor is very kind, understanding, relatable, and such a good teacher. Her class gives you resources you can use in your other classes. I deff recommend her class.
Dr. Sicre is truly amazing. She provides the class with a free online textbook. She is inspirational and the class loves and respects her. BUT be aware that she requires 6 speeches (much more than other professors) and gives a reading every class and quizzes you on it. Be prepared to do a lot of work but the quality of her class is the top notch.
Professor Daphnie Sicre The name it self is so wonder full , i truly respect her, want to learn something , she is the one , the best , the most understanding , take her class wont regret !!! of course 6 speeches yes i agree more speeches than other professors but at the end it all adds up ! i agree ! 6 speeches duh you are in a speech after all.
she has such a good vibe to her! her personality is why so many people love her! she's funny, caring and extremely smart.. I promise you that her classes aren't boring! she is so chill, I loved allllllher classes. she really is a golden star, but she doesn't play, she prepares you for the real world! showing up on time is a must, as is attendance!
I love her. Sicre will make you work for ur grade! I just took her for summer writing intensive , however it was her first time doing a summer course, so we the students really had to work a lot harder then her normal semester students. but over all you will leave her class with a smile on ur face! what can I say she's freaking awesome! take her!
wonderfull, i wish i'd come across such teacher in my country s that i would'nt had to come united states.
Shes the best Theatre Professor in BMCC. Her class has too many assignments to do but they are easy. The projects are fun. Give a lot of extra credits. Take home midterm and no final. Very easy A. I took her class as Writing Intensive. Strongly recommended. Also, she is very nice and work on your grade. Lectures are amazing.
Dr. Sicre is the best of BMCC. A lot of extra points, so do the readings. I tool her summer class and it was definitely intensive with a lot of work, definitely worth it. Ps: Cali students, just take her she is great!
