Excellent teacher! Take her class you wont regret it!
Really good prof helpful understanding able to meed stuendts needs great prof
GREAT TEACHER! EASY GPA BOOST!!! Totally recommend this teacher!
One of the best teachers I have ever had.
An excellent class. Excellent, funny, smart teacher.
Memorable. The way school should be.
Decent course, easy to get a more than okay mark b/c it's an easy class. You learn nothing new from Vicki though...so it's a waste of time going to class is a technicality because attendance counts. GPA booster though, as not a lot of work to it...(the trade-off from not getting anything from it).
The best class I have taken in 4 years. Vicki is funny, intelligent, and caring. I wish more instructors had so much to offer.
Excellent
She was absolutely an incredible teacher. Shes funny and vibrant with a passion for what she is teaching and that makes all the difference between a good class and teacher and a bad one.Highly recommend Intro to Public Speaking with her.
Vicki is an excellent instructor. The technical speaking class is a good course for anyone who has a lot or little of speaking experience. You will learn some good skills that you can use in all areas of life. Vicki was always very helpful and if you put the effort in you will get a good mark.
This is a great course. Vicki is smart,compassionate, and interesting. She is the best teacher I have ever had, anywhere. I learned a lot about myself in this course, as well as learning persuasion skills.
This prof challenges you to be your best, not only for the academic part of the course, but for your future, and your personal life. Some courses make you a better person. This is one of them. Yay Vicki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found this course to be the most useful so far at Mount Royal. Vicky is fun and full of life. A nice change!
Vicky is full of life. A nice change for a prof. A super useful class, probably the most useful so far at MR.
a class I actually dont want to skip! This prof is cool.
Greatest teacher ever!! So funny and helpful!! Very pretty as well!!!
I am already learning more in this course (halfway through) than my previous 2 years at university. Thanks Vicky.
She is amazing!! Greatest teacher I have ever had! She's so fun, relatable, gorgeous and I wish i could take a class with her every semester!
Everyone in our class loved Vicki, including me. She is sincerely friendly, and isn't afraid to just be herself. The course was really good too. She was waaaaaay better than the person who I had for spch 2001.
She's a smart cookie, this one. I am already re-thinking a few things that I felt strongly about and it is early in the semester. She's nice too. I like how she includes everybody and doesn't talk down to us.
this professor is fun
The best.
Speech 2003 tech presentation delivery. There were a lot of hands on rather than textbook, which I found extremely useful to learn presentation delivery techniques. She's candid yet professional. I really enjoyed the class.
best prof i have had at MRU hands down
this class has been the highlight of my week all semester. I will be sad to see it end.........great atmosphere, great course.
she is very pleasant, always in a good mood
Amazing professor. Bubbly, so informative & such a fun class. Really easy to approach, answers emails quickly and will help you to succeed any way she can. LOVE this class and highly recommend.
Vikki genuinely cares about her students, whether it is academically, or personally. She is full of energy and smiles. She made class fun and interesting to attend. You never knew what she had up her sleeve for the day. I would highly recommend her.
She's a good teacher but this is a really easy course was well. You do 5 speeches, I midterm (took 10 mins) and some outlines. All you have to do is show up to class listen to what she says and you'll get an A-. A+ is extremely hard because in that department you have to get 95% or over for that. Overall a slack course.
I took the 3000 level with Viki and the 2001 with someone else. I learned a lot in the 3000 course. It is not easy but she makes it possible to get a good mark if you try hard. Viki makes the lectures really interesting to listen to.
Love her. She is a real sweetheart.
I am graduating in April. I had Vicki in my fourth year and I would say she was the best prof I had in my whole degree. A beautiful person inside and out.
There should be more profs like her and less profs like..... certain other teachers. Keep it up vicki!
Very professional, knowledgeable professor. My ability to speak in public improved dramatically under her guidance. I am now quite confident. Thank you Vicki!
Vicki is just the best! TAKE her class PLEASE. She is so friendly and cute. Very understanding and fair marker.
Thanks Vicky I learned a ton from you!
She is the best.
Vicki is great and this was such a fun class. We laughed a lot and learned a ton.
Finally, a prof who knows how to teach! She related to us as real people, communicated in such a way that made us actually care about the material and gave meaningful advice on how to do better. I have never seen a prof that really seemed to love teaching. I loved going to this class even though it was at 8 am on a Friday morning.
I had Vicky in my last semester. After being a student for 5 years, and switching programs mid-way, this class was the most memorable of all of them. Vicky is great and she went beyond the call of duty by helping me outside of class too with some stuff I had going on in my personal life. I am pretty sure that wasn't part of her job description.
Vicki is the best,best teacher ever.
Vicky is simply amazing as a prof and as a person also. I learned so many life lessons from this lady. I want to nominate her for distinguished faculty award but never done that before. Anyone on here know how to do it?
I LOVED this class and LOVE VIKKI
LOVED HER! BEST TEACHER EVER! I actually gained something from her class and it was so much fun! Such a pleasure to attend!
Thank you Vicki for giving me hope that you can actually enjoy being in a classroom. So clear and engaging, you naturally absorb what she is saying. I learned more in one class than I did all semester for some other courses. Extremely funny and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Wonderful experience, I wish she taught everything. Seriously.
Vicki is a beauty! She is one of the best prof i've had in uni. She is incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable. She is kind, sincere and an absolute doll!! I would recommend this class to everyone!! Love you Vicki!!! ps. her glasses are dope
I loved Vicki's class. She is a hilarious person and definitely made me a better speaker and raised my self-confidence. Vicki rules! Most fun class in uni by far! :) 3. (Her glasses are amazing)
Vicki is the best all I have to say, TAKE YOUR CLASS WITH HER, ONLY HER
SASSY, SMART, and SWEET. Vicki is a 1010! Love her.
Vicki has to be the best professor I have ever had. The combination of her expertise and the openfriendly atmosphere she creates in her classes is the perfect environment for any student to excel in her class. I would suggest Vicki as a professor 10 time out of 10. Thanks Vicki
Best classteacher in my entire Business degree.
Really great prof. Had Vicky twice while at Mru and now that I have graduated and started working, I appreciate even more all the practical skills I got from taking her classes.
Loved her.
the class is refreshing, fun and USEFUL vickie is lovely lovely lovely
Great semester. A chill prof who helped me overcome my fear of speaking in public. Vic had a fun approach to learning little tricks of the trade. She gives great lectures which I will actually remember stuff from. Thanks Vic! You rock!
I really enjoyed this class. We did some fun stuff. Vicky is an awesome person and teacher. I have had her before too. She is consistently nice and pleasant and is respectful to everybody. Her classes are unique in that she does things differently than the other guy(s) who teach speech. She is much more interesting and you get more out of the class
Vicki is an excellent educator. She is clearly an expert in her field and does an amazing job of sharing her knowledge with her students. It was both a pleasure and a privilege to be in her class.
Probably the most authentic and inspiring professor I've ever had.
she is awesome
Vicki rocks! 6 speeches of varying length throughout, but she's super chill about the marking of them. As long as you cover her points in her outline, you'll get a good grade. Got much more out of her feedback post-speeches than any other class - improved my public speaking immensely. Also, her classes are super fun and engaging. Fun icebreakers!
Exceptional professor. She is in a league all her own.
Vicky changed my life. I was not expecting anything more from this class than learning some public speaking tips. I got so much more from this class and from Vicky. She taught me an astonishing amount of things about myself and made me a better person for it. No joke. I feel like I can take on the world. Vicky is truly an incredible human being.
She's amazing! A really kind person, and does not give very much homework at all. I looked forward to going to her class because not only did you get to improve your own speaking skills, you also go to listen to the other kids talk about what they enjoy. For the 5 Question midterm, she gave us the questions and the answers, so easy.
Vicki is amazing and I absolutely loved her class, despite being nervous about public speaking. She is very relatable and knowledgable, and has helped me improve with my public speaking and become more confident. She has a lot of icebreakers to help create a comfortable class environment and clear expectations for each speech! TAKE HER CLASS!!!!
Vicky is the best prof I've had at MRU. She is clearly an expert in her field, but is also hilarious, sweet, compassionate and engaging. Loved her.
Great personality. She's consistently in a good mood, always respectful of every student, patient, and funny. She's a good, kind soul. Also a wonderful teacher.
Vicki creates an environment in her classes (I've taken two with her) where students are able to accept each other despite major differences, and to form bonds with virtual strangers. She also models this by her example. I adore Vicki and her classes. Thanks Vicki!!
Vicky was an outstanding professor. There is nothing she could have done to improve the class. In my view, It was perfect. I appreciated her creative approach and her engaging styling of communicating. I overcame many bad feelings around public speaking and now embrace it. Shocking!
Absolutely loved Vicky. Everyone who has taken her class agrees. She is the best.
Never had a class like this in school. Real-life learning. Relevant. Interesting. Loved it and love Vicki.
Easiest A Ever
Vicky is a quality person. Loved her. Lectures i didn't want to miss. And really funny.
Great prof.
Her classes are so much fun. I liked how we got to talk to other students in the class and get to know them while learning at the same time. She makes everything interesting .would recommend her to everyone.
Vickie by far has been one of the best professors I've had at mru. Love the fact that there was no text book to use. The things I learned in this class are applicable to the real world. She is funny, compassionate and real. I cant wait to take another class with her !!! Take her class it will be the best thing you do !!!
Vickie was exceptional. Loved the class exercises and practical tips.
I was nervous about taking this class but I ended up loving it. Everyone I know said take the class with Vicky and I did and all the good things I heard are true
Great prof
Her classes are great, always useful stuff.
Best prof EVER! If you can get into the class... do it!
Literally the nicest human ever
Amazing prof. Just loved Vicky. She makes the material interesting and memorable. Her classes are fun were the highlight of my semester. She marks fairly and wants you to do well.
Absolutely amazing prof. Besides being possibly the nicest and most genuine person ever, Vicki knows her stuff when it comes to the course content. Very clear instruction. Very fair marker. Understands that this is an intro course and doesn't expect too much but will push you to develope your skills. Would recommend to everyone. TAKE HER CLASS!!
Vicki is the highlight of my four years at MRU.
Vickis a very engaging prof. Shes passionate about good speaking and really knowledgeable, yet shes uber chill.
I really appreciated Vickys teaching style and approach to the course material. I learned a lot but also just had so much fun. Great class!
Vicki is amazing!!! The content is class heavy with homework consisting of preparing speeches. Vicki is engaged, laid back, and funny. Loved taking her class, would take her ad my prof for ever class if I could!!
Best prof ever. Vicki has a wealth of knowledge and shares it with passion. She made everything fascinating. And voila! I am now a good (maybe great��) speaker.
Vicki is by far the best professor I've ever had. If you can get over your own fears (with Vicki's help) and listen to what Vicki is asking of you, she will reward you with an amazing mark. This class was interesting and I genuinely looked forward to attending. TAKE THIS CLASS! It will probably change your life for the better.
Vicki is amazing. She doesn't rely on textbooks, but you need to come to class because she doesn't post notes online. If you come to all the classes and make an effort you will get an A.
Vicki is a gem. She has a real gift for bringing people together. Immensely enjoyed her class.
Very intelligent lady. Loved both classes I took with her. Shes a captivating speaker herself and made the material interesting and relevant. I wish more profs would teach the way she does.
Im so choked this class is over. Im gonna miss it. Vikki is the best.
Vicki Goodfellow-Duke should teach ALL the speech classes. Shes a great prof. I recommend her to everyone
There's a reason why Vivki has the highest rating on rate my proff that you'll see for MRU. It's because shes amazing at what she does. This class will honesty help you speak well. She cares so much about her students you would be a fool not to take this class with her and get that free GPA boost (:
Vicki is amazing. As long as you show up and do the speeches you're asked to do, it's a guarenteed A, but it's worth showing up anyway because she's got a LOT of great tips, and she's pretty entertaining in the process. If you're gonna take a speech class, take it with her. Accept no substitutes.
You will learn a lot in class especially confidence in public speaking. She gives good feedback. She creates her class where everyone cheer each other up. Easy A if you put effort.
Vicki was the coolest prof I've ever met. She lets out class early, doesn't give homework, and really relates to students. One thing I didn't like is that she doesn't do powerpoints, all her notes come from her head, so if you're not listening closely or miss a class, other than talking to someone else, theres no way of getting that information.
Vicki was an amazing prof. She makes lectures fun and is very knowledgeable. There were quite a few group exercises which were uncomfortable at first, but ended up being nice to get to know classmates. Her instructions were straightforward and as long as you listen and do what she is asking, you will do very well. Best class of my semester.
Vicki is super smart and her lectures are very interesting She made me see a lot of things in life differently, beyond the class content. She is a prof you will remember for a long time. I would highly recommend her class.
I liked Vicki a lot. I had not had her previously but I came to really enjoy her classes. You must show up for classes as your participation grade rides on it and being present on your assigned speech date. She seems intimidating at first but she is such a great professor I would take her class over again if I could. Take a speech class with her!
Very engaging. Quirky. Lots of exercises in each class so don't be shy! BB is never updated. She grades your speech right away on paper. I think she would make her life easier if she input the grades in Blackboard the same day she gave the grades out. No powerpoints, no textbook. You need to be in class otherwise you're screwed for the final.
Favorite class and prof.
Took a summer class with Vicky over Zoom and it was perfect. I was expecting a speech class to be pretty bad online but it was really fun. We did some presentations over Zoom and some we had to tape ourselves. She made the classes interesting and useful. She is a really caring person and shes funny. I loved Vicky!
Vicki is the best.
Vicki is one of Mru's best profs in my opinion. She has taught me real life skills in terms of how to present and techniques that I believe will be beneficial in the future. She is a caring person and wants all of her students to do well. I would highly reccommend her to anyone!
She's very enthusiastic, and understanding. Vicki doesn't ask much besides attendance and participation. This course requires a textbook, but is a easy A.
Vicky is the best. This was my 3rd class with her. At first I was a bit scared of her, but you realize quite quickly how honest and funny she really is. In the second class I observed her care and compassion for us and how badly she wanted her students to be great speakers. She is smart and creative. In this third class, honestly I just love her.
Vickie is a great professor. Very helpful and makes the class very fun and interactive. She is better off teaching Theater as opposed to Carol Curties, who is the worst professor in all of the University.
It was my first speech class and I was so nervous about it but Vicki made it the best class and I have registered for more speech classes. She is an amazing marker. Her lectures are so engaging. It was kind of the only class that I get to talk with my classmates. Just show up to the class, do the reading and for sure you will get A+.
Vicki is amazing! She wants her students to pass, she allows you to move deadlines and she gives solid feedback. I would totally take her again!
Vicky is a real gem. As a mature student with extensive experience in working in business and giving presentations, I was surprised to have learned so much in this class. Vicky gives incredible, astute advice and tips. Loved Vicky.
Vicki is a wonderful professor. She made public speaking seem easy and created a class environment where everyone was comfortable to practice their public speaking. Vicki provides all the tools to be successful in her class, her main goal is to get students more comfortable and confident with public speaking and she does a really great job of that.

Vicki is a sweetheart! You do need to show up for the lectures, but she makes them light and fun. She cares more that you take something practical out of her class that you can use in your own life, than shoving the course requirements down your throat. Easy grader, makes expectations very clear, allows you to re-do assignments.
One of the best profs!
Vicki is one of the kindest professors I have ever had! I learned so much in her class. Her instructions are clear, she is very understanding and always there to help. Attendance is mandatory but 100% worth it as her lectures are always fun and relatable. There is group work, but the assignments are not difficult to do. Loved this class!
Vicki's one of the best profs I've had during my university career at 3 different universities. Being inundated with content in other classes, I liked how Vicki shared the course content. I feel like I learned useful skills while still having fun. She's funny too and I appreciated that she made everyone feel like they are important.
One of the best experience I had in the school thanks to her. She is caring, very fast emailing you back if you have questions. The book though is expensive and I had to purchase the e-text instead of the physical one, wish I have that.
Beautiful inside and out.
Vicki is fun and has great energy. It's a very stress-free class.
I LOVED THIS CLASS. I thought coming into this course I would have difficult giving out speeches in front of the whole class but Vicki does a great job in making you comfortable speaking upfront of the class. She is funny and caring. The speeches might looking intimidating but trust me it's easier than it seems. A great gpa booster.
Speech 3001 was my favourite course of my whole degree. Very useful content and a lot of fun. Vikki is the GOAT for sure.
A kind, smart, and helpful prof. I loved her class. By the end of the semester it feels like we are a family
Vicki gets it. She set the class up for success; she told everyone on the first day what the class will look like, how much work is involved and what you'll have to do to be successful. I learned a lot in this class. Follow the structure for the speeches and you'll do well. Study up for the mid and final exams - read your text :)
EVERYONE DESERVES A VICKI IN THEIR DEGREE. She is the best prof to take any speaking class with - she sets you up for success and allows you many accommodations to achieve the grades you want. It is very clear that she cares more to empower her students with the content than to penalize students with grading.
Vicki is a great prof! Fun, easy class! The only thing is that she makes you buy her expensive textbook - kinda a waste. Use the library copy, or just wing it and you'll be fine. Cash grab
Vicky is a phenomenal prof. I hate public speaking but I loved her classes every week. You do need the book. I didn't have it for the first half of the semester and failed the midterm then I bought it. I think this was one of the only gen eds where I learned something useful
One of my favourite courses. Vikki is a great prof.
Vicki truly cares about her students.
Very supportive prof. Wants you to do well. Classes are fun. My favourite course this semester.
Favorite prof
Vicki is absolutely amazing! I've been at this university for three years, and let me tell you, she's the best professor I've ever had. She's so down-to-earth and genuinely the nicest person. Take her class!!!!
Vicki is the easiest marker ever for speeches. However, the final exam at the end worth 20% of our mark is complete BS. She made a very hard exam with mainly all long answer questions based on irrelevant information in the textbook. Everyone in my class did bad on the test. Be prepared if you take this class, study the textbook inside and out!
Vicky made me feel like I matter. I have taken three classes with her and loved all of them. Yes you have to read the textbook but hey it's university. Loved loved Vicky.
Vicky is the best prof. She actually wants you to do well so she will bend over backwards to help you. She's also a fun, relaxed prof who makes classes worth going to even early on a Friday morning.
Vicki is the GOAT. Best prof ever.
Vicki is really chill and helps you out when life sucks. She gives interesting lectures too.
Vicki is an amazing professor who makes public speaking fun! The class has a clear structure, and with the help of Unstuckstudy and the textbook, you'll do great. Highly recommend taking this class!
Very chill prof but go to class anyway because its like a learning hangout. Fun class and sweet break in my day from boring courses
Coolest prof ever. Ngl gonna miss this class legit. 😥
Vicki is so amazing. Take this course. Shes so funny and she actually cares so much about her students. Shes very flexible with assignments. LOVE HER.
This is hands down the best professor at MRU. Her classes were so enjoyable I never got bored, and her grading criteria were very straight forward. I recommend everyone take a class with Vicki. This class was definitely something I looked forward to!!!
I always looked forward to this class. Vicki is just absolutely delightful to be around and is SO funny. One of my favourite professors. Her class was so fun and although participation is needed, I loved going. She is the sweetest and the course load is light. Such an understanding and sweet person. Take a class with her if you have the chance!
Very kind, caring prof. Classes are super fun and different from other mru classes. I wish she taught courses in my program
Loved this prof. I took a new speech class on presenting complex ideas with her. Fun class, assignments are interesting and easy to do well if you follow her instructions. I know this class will be useful for me in my STEM career.
Took persuasive speech with her. Best class ever. You have to go to class but its so worth it. Never had such good socials in a course and everyone was so friendly.
Vikki is an absolute gem
THE nicest prof ever. Show you want to get better, come to class, and she will notice your effort! SOOO glad this was my prof for a GNED.. She made it worthwhile.
Best prof everrr
Best course best professor. Vicki is the goat!
Amazing prof! She believes in her students and it shows in the feedbacks that she gives. Attend class and just listen. All you need to do is do your readings and put effort and she will give you an A. She is always there to help out and is very nice. This is the most social class I have this semester. I look forward to attending her classes.
The nicest, most fun professor at Mru. Vicki is always in a good mood and genuinely cares about her students. Favorite course of my degree.
