She is super nice and very understanding. She is always open to questions about anything and has a sweet personality. Uses alot of videos and clips during the lectures, which also makes it more interesting.

EXTREMEELLLYYY nice. She's one of my favorite teachers soo far. She's funny. The discussions are easy, class is outgoing, grading is easy. I didn't get a A because I forgot to take a online test. The final were questions taken directly from the quizes. Did I mention it was online final!!! She's AWSOME.

She's a very nice professor and always willing to listen to others. She makes it enjoyable being in class and want to learn the material. You should take her!!!

Probably my very favorite professor at FIU. She is great at making people overcome fear of public speaking. Her lectures are interesting, and so are the assignments. Most useful class I've taken to date. I really do miss her class.

Prof. Marino's class is one of the best you can ever take. This business class should be a must for all and take it with her. She really prepares for the class, is very knowledgeable on the subject, and tells you exactly how she is gonna grade (everything is online but sometime I would not read). It is one of the most helpful class you can ever ta

This professor is amazing! The class has very useful content and it can be applied to your day-to-day business communication responsibilities. If you listening to her class, you will do well on the exams and work assignment. She is the best! I highly recommend her. Exams are not difficult, but just make sure you do not miss class.

Professor Marino is the best Professor I had taken at FIU so far! The material is great, and very helpful because you can apply it to your day to day professional career. Kudos!

Her class is very useful and interesting. She keeps the class dynamic. There are a lot of assignments that help you to understand all the class topics. She is nice, gentle and always willing to help. She has a remarkable positive human quality hard to find nowadays. DO NOT HESITATE taking this professor.

Sign up and take her class if you can get a spot. Her class is easy and simple to understand. You will learn to write resumes, cover letters, and other things you can put into use in your job hunt when you leave FIU. 1-group project. Also, make a resume, cover letter, and a thank you letter. Test are online so you can take them with your group.

Took her class in the summer and regret it because it was fast-paced and the material was extremely helpful. Her class is easy and simple to understand, yet so important. You will learn to write resumes, cover letters, overcome the fear of speaking in public.

She's really outgoing and awesome teacher. She knows how to teach and just by looking at her when she speaks in class you can learn alot about public speaking. Her class is fairly easy and the speeches aren't that bad.

Great professor, helps alot with any questions you have, assignments are clear and concise, stuff you learn in this class will help you in the business environment. she is easy on the eyes too.

Best professor ever! She knows a lot, is extremely helpful, her lectures are very useful..is funand so handsome!!

She is awesome, the only class I was able to get a fair grade for while going through a rough time. Might be the best class I ever took at FIU

Hated few things about this course: paying $90 for online book with access code to McGraw Hill; the eBook was needed for like 3 quizzes that made up like 8% of a grade. Still needed access code to take all the other quizzes from scanned materials and midterm/final. I think that sucks.

Assigns people to your group and gives everyone same grade unless you grade your group significantly lower, they will receive 5 points less than you ('grade you group' simply doesn't work). Don't even THINK about buying a hard copy of the book. You will waste your money - book is not used and she teaches from PPTs. buy online version of a book only

Best Professor ever! She's nice and class is so interesting! She's so friendly that you don't get nervous talking to the class because you'll feel so comfortable in class! I had a lot of fun taking her class because she works with you, even after class hours. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - AMAZING PROFESSOR!

She is the best professor ever! Really cares about students! Take her class!!!!

Don't really have much to say. Your grade is dependent on ten assignment (SUPER EASY), two exams (not too bad), and a paper (graded fairly). The subject material is pretty interesting and you can walk out of the class with another skill. I took it online so I didn't have much interaction with the professor though she took forever to respond mail.

Marino is a great professor and the online class is very organized which means you always know what you need to do, how you need to do it, and by when you need to do it. Makes online courses a breeze and efficient.

I LOVE Marino. Seriously one of the most amazing professors & human beings on this planet. I can proudly say that not only was the class extremely effective in aiding my public speaking skills, but I also made a friend with my professor. She really cares for her students and wants us to improve. I HIGHLY encourage everyone to take the class.

One of the few professors that really cares about the students. You work a lot but her class is one of the most useful you will ever take. Prof Marino is THE BEST!!!

Best class ever! Prof. Marino is an amazing teacher and human being. Her class is very interesting and fun ...and learn SO much! Take her class!

Loved her class. Great class discussions.Three major exams, a presentation and a paper. Best prof ever!

Great professor, really cares about her students and is very easy to pass. study for the test and make sure you do the class projects.

im in love with my teacher

BEST class and prof ever! Professor Marino makes class interesting, lectures and videos, group project and online assignments. Take her class!!!

OUTSTANDING professor. Highest of reccomendations

The BEST instructor I've had so far! Her class is interesting I never felt like ugh I have to go to her class. She is helpful and understanding. She really makes this class a breeze. LOVE HER! TAKE HER! There should be more teachers like her!

Great professor, easy , nice, fun class. Easy A. Likes to make you work in groups.

Awesome professor...best class at FIU! interesting, useful, u work a lot but really enjoy it! Don't hesitate to take it.

She is amazing! I took this class as an elective, and she introduced me to nonverbal communication in a way I've never thought of. She's nice, fair, and knows her stuff. Highly recommend taking her.

I really like this professor! her lectures are amazing, and she also gives good feedback on assignments. I truly learned a lot. overall she's wonderful and has a maternal vibe. I highly recommend her class!!!

2 group presentations (one is 5 mins and the final is 25 mins), online quizzes (piece of cake), some participation in class, and yeah that's about it. You learn and get an easy A, might as well take!

Likes group work. Class is interesting and you learn a lot! One of the most amazing professors at FIU! There should be more professors like her!

Refreshing reminder of how nice it is to have a teacher concerned about your well being in addition to your academic performance. One of the nicest teachers I've ever taken, tough to getstay mad at her. Besides my disdain for group assignments( which there are a lot of) I'd take her class every chance I get.

Absolutely loved Professor Marino and her class! 5 online quizzes, 1 literature review, 1 empirical research paper, and group presentation. warning everything is group work! However she is super interesting and amazing overall!! TAKE HER!!

Professor Marino is awesome! She is so confident, nice and elegant! Her classes are fun and discuss topics that everyone can relate to. Most assignments are group works so beware of that. I would definitely take her again!

Amazing professor! She genuinely cares about her students and makes sure we learn the material. We had to work in groups throughout the whole semester. A few online quizzes and a few assignments that we had to turn it in class (cover letter, resume, memos, etc). It was an awesome course. If I had the chance, I wouldn't hesitate to take her again.

Amazing professor! Very professional, clear, fair, sweet&knowledgeable w the content. You do have test to take online,but they're fairly easy. No reading is needed, although I did the readings it wasn't necessary. The assignments she gives are actually useful for the real world&yes there is a group project, but it is easy and very organized

Best prof ever! Classes are interesting, fun and really helps in preparing you for real world. Really cares about students. HIGHLY recommend her class. Amazing professor

Online class very well organized and structured. I'm looking forward to take her again but next time in face to face interaction.. She is a very great professor !!!

Good professor, she may seem tough at the beginning, but fallow her directions and you will do fine. Group projects, a lot of work, but doable. only one presentation at the end, everything else are online quizzes, grammar quizzes in class, memos and letters. Gives up to 5 points of extra credit.

Love this class! One of the most interesting. Professor very knowledgeable and responds to emails right away. Highly recommend the class. Great class and greatprofessor.

Great professor and great class! A lot of work but you learn soooo much!!!!! Group project, quizzes and a LOT of writing. Only class I care for. Take her class !!!

Maria is a delightful professor. You will learn so much! She cares for her students and gives great feedback. She has a positive attitude making you enjoy the class. Best class and professor at FIU!

Best online class!!!! Professor is there for you. The class is amazing. There is opportunity for extra credit. Take it!

It's the best class I've taken at FIU. I am planning to take another class with her this fall. Professor Mariono really cares about the students and you WILL LEARN SO MUCH!!!!

Best class, best professor!

This class was incredible! The professor is extremely caring and gives great feedback! She is definitely a lenient grader and understands that your work if from your own perspective. You learn a lot through a worldly perspective and the course is a lot easier than it seems!

Awesome professor, amazing lectures and feedback. She makes you work but will learn a lot. I highly recommend her. She truly cares about the students.

WONDERFUL! A lot of reading&busy work but easy grader. Every week there's a discussion & an assignment. The assignments have required readings and some of them are upwards of 25+ pages. There are no assessments for this course. A project at the end (final) it is easy. Must attend a religious site out of your own and write3 pages on it. EASY A

Best class ever! A lot of work but follow assignments and lectures and will be fine. BE AWARE OF GROUP PROJECTS!!!! She genuinely cares about her students, Prof MIM is awesome!

SHE IS AMAZING !! One of the best professor you'll ever have when it comes to communication. So sweet and she always keeps the lectures interesting, but BEWARE of those group projects cause it will ultimately make or break you in her class.

Professor Marino is AMAZING. I was a bit skeptical about taking this course at first since the description said there was mostly group work, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. The professor is truly insightful, helpful, understanding, very well spoken, and overall a great lecturer. 10/10 would recommend.

Such an easy class! It's all group projects so make sure to pick a good group. She's such a caring and down-to-earth professor who is really passionate about the class. Make sure to reach out to her for anything, she's very helpful. The class itself is fun and entertaining and you just need to listen to lectures. Little to no tests!

I absolutely loved this class and I looked forward to it every time. Professor MIM is passionate about what she teaches and she genuinely cares about the success of her students. The class is not very heavy on assignments and the material itself is very interesting. I would definitely take a class with her again.

Great professor. There were some issues with the way the assignments were written out that caused confusion, but whenever I'd reach out to her she was eager to help. Assignments are fairly easy as long as you stick to the topic. There's a weekly discussion post and you have to reply to 2 other students on top of some other assignments, but still ok

Her lectures aren't the greatest but the material is fairly simple. She does give out assignments during class so I would recommend to attend class. There are at least one assignment due each week, normally a resume or cover letter. The group project at the end of the semester does require some time since you have to perform it various times.

Amazing class and professor! Professor MIM is passionate, caring, knowledgable and soooo interesting. She truly cares about her students and will prepare you for the real world. One of the best professor in commTake her class!

This class is AMAZING! Professor Marino is AMAZING! Reading is heavy but manageable. The class is extremely interesting. She gives good feedback and responds to emails right away. Best class ever!

MARIA MARINO IS THE BEST! JUST DO THE WORK ASSIGNED AND YOU WILL PASS! LENIENT GRADER! EASY CLASS! 10/10 RECOMMENDATION!

I took IDS 3336 online and honestly, it's an easy A. There are a few readings but you can do the assignments easily without stressing them too much. There's 3 bigger papers, but again, VERY doable. The material is interesting and the class itself allows you to look at everyday things in a different light. Lots of discussion posts. Recommend!

She was amazing and even sent out reminders a day or two before assignments were due to make sure you didn't miss deadlines. Since I took her class online I really appreciated that she took the time to do that.

Definitely not an easy class, but teacher is pretty nice. It takes time and effort to get a good grade. Just take good notes from the powerpoints, learn the material, and you won't need the book. You will write quite a bit, kind of like an English class. Luckily, the subject being taught is interesting so that's what kept me motivated to do well

she was great! i took her for an online class and there were a lot of weekly assignments, but they were very easy and if you can keep track of them this course is very easy. she was very lenient on the one paper and one group project.

Take her. You wont regret it. Do your work and get an A. She's a nice person too

This is a solid class. Took it in 6 weeks. It consisted of quizzes, discussions, some extra credit, and a final exam. Professor gives occasional feedback, but overall responds quickly to any messages. Make sure to get and read the textbook, it really helps with the assignments.

Very sweet! Always gives good feedback on assignments. Class has lots of readings, usually an assignment and 1 discussion every week. As long as you do your work with effort and turn things in you will pass fine! No textbook, modules every week. There are two group projects and just one major paper (2-3 pgs.) Choose her if you have to take IDS3336!

Took this class in the fall online and was super easy. All you have to do is read over the weekly powerpoint, answer a discussion question about it and take the quiz after that has 15 questions and you can find on socratic. She does talk about recommending the textbook, but DON'T GET IT. You don't need it. There's 3 group projects.

I took Ms. Marino for Artistic Expression in a Global Society online. She's a pretty fair teacher and this was a very straightforward class. Just a few weekly quizzes, discussion posts and a couple of group projects. Would definitely recommend taking this class with her!

As long as you meet the rubric for the assignments, you will be okay! Dr. Marino gives great feedback after each assignment and always follows up to reminder her students about the assignments due for the week. There are several group projects, but are very straightforward. Great professor and class!

AMAZING!! interesting class and only one quiz and discussion per every two weeks. so simple totally recommend

Great professor and class. Two assignment a week, final paper and quiz on canvas. Not Lenient will not accept late work but its not a lot of work anyways. EASY!

Take her! Class was very simple, with a weekly multiple choice quiz, one midterm, and one final; all of this nonproctored. Some weeks, instead of multiple choice she would do open-ended questions where we needed to use info from the book or she would have us do a discussion. Make sure to cite your sources in the discussions and meet the word count.

10/10 take this prof. only 2 assignments per week and a 10 question final. make sure to write lengthy on short answer and meet the criteria. found the textbook online in PDF. 10/10 no complaints very easy class, easy prof would recommend

Although it's a fully online class, there's one group project (you have to attend) and multiple discussion boards. However, it's all very casual and assignments are on a weekly basis. Met her in the COIL meeting and she's very nice. All you'll have to do is commit some time to read the material to fill out quizzes, but otherwise you're good :)

Really easy summer class. The work was a breeze if you just read the rubric.

Took professor Marino for non verbal communication the class was a breeze there's about a quiz or two every week and discussions here and there but it's so easy just do the work and you will pass I recommend it to anyone who is debating to take the class and if you are take it with Professor Marino it's so easy.

Most chill class ever. Just do your assignments on time.

Take her! She clearly explains what she's looking for all assignments and is a very easy grader. Just make sure to reach the word count/reply to two people and she gives you a 100%. She makes us get a textbook, but she also provides some power points that have a lot of info in them as well. Overall, I would def take her again!

This class was made up of mostly multiple choice quizzes and short response quizzes. Short response quizzes were not as scary as they seemed, she gives you the set of questions in advance for you to prepare. She also had great communication with the class. Overall, the class was straightforward, interesting, and easy as long as you do the work.

I took this course during the 6-week summer semester and there was no group project. The work is done individually. Course consists of quizzes, short-answer quizzes, discussions, and one final paper. The textbook is needed for this course. Professor Marino is big on citations from the textbook. She replies quickly to emails. The work is manageable.
