She is such a nice teacher. Very helpful. easy class
I took her internet class which was very interesting. The topics she throws out are very thought-provoking. Not an easy class but the challenge is worth it.
this lady is always all about herself...instead of encouraging students she demeans them. not teacher material. she could take lessons from some of the other speech teachers who have students who respect them
Expect your life to revolve around her class. Way too much outside work if you have a full schedule. For all her cultural awareness she's pretty self-centered.
She was aweful! She required SO much work for her 3unit class- she thought that your life should revolve around her class. She is also very self-centered and rarely willing to help you but rather hinder you by her lack of open-mindedness. NOT RECOMMENDED!
This is the best class I have taken in college. Ms. Marie loves teaching the course and knows a lot about culture. She helped me find extra information about my culture. She's fair and I am learning a lot.
yes- it is true that she requires a lot of work, but she also provides lots of extra credit assignments and it's very easy to get an A. she is fun!! i enjoyed the class.
too much work!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned a lot in this class. She was very professional, didn't take any excuses, and made you do your best.
She's really positive and supportive. She gave me lots of pointers and helpful feedback. This is the second class I took from her. The cultural communication class is great. You'll learn in Vickie's classes.
Am I in graduate school? Marie is compulsively obsessed. I did fine in the class, only because I did a great job on the tons of work-way too much for a freshman/sophomore level course. She sppears conceited and can be evil. Luckily,I did not experience her wrath, but other students did! Bad deal!
She is easy and fun. Her class goes by fast, but you have to do a project all semester that takes up a LOT of your time, and the project is worth half the grade, so if you have an A going into the project due date, and your project sucks you could get an F
I can't believe how much I like this class. I was so scared to take a speech class. Mrs. Marie makes it fun and she helps me with my speeches. She knows I am scard and she makes me feel confident.
love this class -- she makes it exciting. now i want to travel and see the world. the homework helped me understand the theoreitical stuff. i'd take her again
She gives a ton of homework, but a ton of extra credit as well. She says no late work, but that is not true. She works with you to help get a good grade. She does demand respect though, get on her bad side, and you'll know about it. I really like her and I'll probably take her agian.
EXCELLENT instructor. Taught the class very well. If you are going to take Comm ST 1A try to take it with her.

Took it on the internet. The directions were confusing at times. Grading was difficult, I worked my butt off in the class, and had a bad grade nearly the entire time-and I did all the work discussions, and got good grades on everything.
About 2 monthes before class I recieved her mass emailed syllabus. I was scared by the amount of work read all of the books before class started and started on class materials before class started. The only thing that saved me was that I was prepared. tests from the texts. Everything else is "discussed" in class. Lots of work, but good class.
Great teacher! If you really want to prepare yourself for the future take her because she is awesome. She really wants you to learn how to talk in front of people. I took her online class and you would meet up when you have a speech to do. Take her! You won't regret it!
I took her class last semester. she is the best teacher I have ever had. If this wasn't my last semester I would take every class from her. And she cares about you.
Her small group communicaition class is heckafun. You play lots of group games and challenges. she lays everything out. If you follow it you will get an A.
'Discussions' entail her talking at us. Assignments and tests are way over the top. It seems she is about to have a breakdown if someone says something she doesn't like. Class has shrunk unbleivably. don't take her; you will regret it.
I'm just finished my first year at Delta. I really liked this class and I probably take more classes from this teacher. I learned about things I didn't know existed.
I took it online. It was a lot of work. She is the only teacher for this course so if you have to take it you are stuck w/her. We had to work on a term paper all semester & I was very confused as to how it was to be done. I was thankful to have friends who had already completed this course. Also you have to take part in some interesting discussions
Vickie Marie is great. I took her speech class online and her intercultural communication class. Follow the course outline and the examples and ask for help if you need it. I thought the class was easy but mostly it was extremeley interesting.
It seems this instructor thinks we are in grad school. This is a community college. Much too demanding, way over the top, and a pompous witch of a teacher
Wonderful, easy teacher. I was mortified of public speaking before I took this class but flew through it with an A...Loved her!
This class is a blast and Vickie is very upbeat.
She is one of the friendliest, coolest most open teacher I have had at Delta! The toughest thing in this class was the ethnography on another culture, but if you pick a culture that interests you, then it wont suck. You have 4 tests (can have 3X5 notecard), and a bunch of easy hw! You learn and talk about really important subjects, take this class!
Great!
Vicki is an awsome professor. Her class activities, are unique and very interesting. Speeches topics are cool. She's always willing to help you out. I've enjoyed her class, and hope to take another class with her!
I loved taking her class. She is very helpful. Her activities were cool and made class interesting
Mrs Marie is a very open-minded and friendly person. She is a great speaker, I never got bored in her class. She makes the class very relaxing every day yet your learn a lot. I adore her class. The ethnography is a little hard to do but overall she just wants you to learn something through your experience. Great teacher!
prof marie was the most participative online teacher I have had
She has too much to say on her online postings. Her criterias are difficult to follow. She will only give your a third of the possible grade if you just miss out on one criteria.
She is great!!!
Great Teacher. Extremely helpful.
got alot out of this class and plan on taking another class from her
I dropped Speech class twice before I took it from her. VM makes feel confident and she makes it fun. I didn't even think I would ever finish this course but I am getting an A.
Cool teacher. You have to do three-two page ethnography's. It sounds hard, but it's not. There is a lot of EXTRA CREDIT, so even if you do poorly on the test or reports you can still pass. Also the test can be done in groups of 5...cool.....
I just got back from a trip to Europe. I used everything I learned in this class. Loved the class because it makes you want to meet everyone around the world. Loved the teacher.
Best teacher at Delta College. Ms Marie maps out the speech making process and even teaches you the "puca shake" to get rid of your nerves. If you think speech class is going to be torturous, give Ms Marie a try. She'll make a believer out of you!
Really cool teacher. It seems like a lot of work in her class but it really isn't. There's 4 exams and 3 mini enthography. She give lots of extra credit. This class keeps you interested with the topics.
Ms. Marie is very considerate and gives you plenty of chances to make up work.
teacher is extremely helpfull and will not let u fail. do all of your homework and she offers alot of xtra credit. if this is your major take this instructor.
Whomever said she treats this class as if it is a graduate level course is seriously out of tune. She is a great teacher and offers lots of extra credit so even if you do horrible on the tests but do all the rest of the work its an easy class to pass with an 80% or a B. Take her online but just keep an open mind about different cultures.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the level of work in this class... you guys are just plain slow or lack the skills required in college if you think this is too much work or that she is a tough grader. It is true however she will give you a bad grade but only if you earned that grade. There is so much opportunity in this class to get an A!!!!
EXCELLENT instructor! Organized, methodical, caring, interesting! I had her almost ten years ago, but I have no doubt she is still wonderful.
learned more than I expected about cultures and myself. very good teacher.
Awesome teacher.. Very organized and helpful with assisting her students. If you stay on top of the class assignments and follow her instructions you will easily get a "A" in her class. She provides lots of oportunity for extra credit assignments. She strives to make sure all her students suceed. Learned a lot about myself and many other cultures.
i loved her class. she is a fun teacher, as long as you pay attention and do your hw and do the extra credit you will do good. I did not do too good on my test but i did all the extra credit and i passed with a B....i recommend her!!!
I am currently in her online class. Not very clear at all. If you have fear of public speaking, shes not very comforting. The test are hard, unnecessarily out of order.I have a high B currently. I'm very disappointed in this class, i was looking forward to it. Her instructions are confusing. PS. everyone Ive talked 2 from class agrees with me.
I'm taking the same class as the previous commenter and I agree. It's a tough class to survive. The online program "eCollge" is really sub par compared to other programs like etudes. It is difficult to navigate or get things done. I suggest not taking this online if possible.
She is one of the worst teachers in the world! She requires everyone to write in MLA, but does not even know how to right in it herself. She is no help what so ever! She will waste you time! Don't take this class from her!
She is an amazing instructor. I'm taking her online class and she went out of her way to help me on my Ethnography. Not many at Delta College would do that for you.
She's really positive and encouraging. I was really dreading this class but it has been much more fun than I expected. The online class works well if you work because you only meet a couple times a month.
Everything the other poster's say is true. I had her class and after it became clear that I wasn't going to be able to understand what she wanted, I dropped her. The worst thing about her class is the platform its on, its hard to navigate and find what you want. Do not take this teacher online! She's an okay teacher but her class is awful.
The ecollege platform was not my favorite by any means. But I dreaded taking a speech class like most people do. Mrs. Marie is an excellent teacher. She makes the students feel comfortable and does not grade harshly due to nervousness. Any time extra guidence was needed she was able to lend a helpful hand. Take this class.
Poor teaching ability. She isn't open to anyone who isn't exited about other cultures (Illegals). She doesn't follow the current MLA's very well, even though she expects 'you' to. I corrected her several times. She has her conceited community college teachers pet students grading papers. I had to correct them a few times. Got an 'A', though.
Great Teacher. She is really the best of the best. Fun, energetic, and beautiful! She makes you feel comfortable during speeches and wants you to succeed. Highly recommended!!! Trust me, you'll pass... Just don't quit on urself. Again, she's awesome!!!! --Com1A

Very interesting teacher. Definitely has the background in intercultural Studies to teach on the subject. She wants you to succeed, however I did find her teaching style to be an on your own approach. I did take the class online however, that may have had a bit to do with that.
Great summer class; jammed-packed with information. Prof is very interactive and offers to help at every turn.
you can see that she gives it her all ans wants students to succeed
COM ST 007 Online. Class has a lean toward liberalism but that is to be expected in a class about InterCulture comm. The worst thing is the platform the online system used is very hard to navigate or organize for due dates, assignments. Prof is not helpful with this.Use your own calendar & opinions you should do ok but don't expect an easy class.
Professor Marie was very helpful and provided a lot of good information on how to succeed in her in class. You must be over prepared if you want to do well, by this I mean memorize your speeches and you will do great!
she's online very helpful and supportive
Terrible teacher. Gives grades that make no sense. Emailed daily at ungodly hours. Annoying, rud, unhelpful. Over all terrible stupid class and instructor
JOKE OF A CLASS. Ridiculously easy. Teacher is a complete hippy and grades on EMOTION. DO NOT piss her off or be politically incorrect or she will show her colleagues your work and have them laugh at it....what a great person :)
Loved her and the intercultural class. She is helpful and participates right along side us students.
I am taking university courses concurrenly with Delta classes. This class was equally challenging and interesting and especially practical in today's world. Ms Vickie was jonny-on-the-spot every time I asked for help on the ethnography term paper. I was hesitant about the term paper but it turned out the be very enlightening.
Had this teacher a long time ago. She really made an impression on me and I want to take another class from her but she is no longer in the catalog.
she is good
NEVER TAKE HER FOR INTER.CULTURAL COM. The class is itself is super interesting, I just wish another instructor would teach the class. Her lectures feel too rushed, and she can really be rude sometimes.
Marie is in my topthree teachers at delta. Every class has something interesting and there are interesting exercises that make the topic more personal. She gets your papers back to you in one class time and she´sfunny and nice.
I understand how some can say she is rude. She's nice, but can be randomly strict. She really hates answering questions that she's already answered or has written in her extra materials book. That being said, she seems to be an easy grader - or I had brilliant classmates.
Ms. Marie's class is hecka fun. We all know each other and she is really positive and supportive.
Great teacher!She was really fun and she made it easy to feel comfortable enough to speak in front of the class. Really easy going.
I'm doing good in her class. the class if fun. I recommend her.
At the beginning I really was looking forward to this class, and it seemed interesting. This course felt totally inconsistent and honestly pretty boring. She's rude and frankly has a sense of lofty self-importance. I worked my butt off in this course but I was still called an 'unprofessional'. Don't take this course unless you like kissing ass.
This has been the best class I have taken. It was a hybrid class so only in class to give speeches. Mrs. Marie is the best speech teacher and makes it fun, relaxing and useful! I recommend her so highly and we were lucky to have the most wonderful and open students that helped make the class like a family.
This is THE professor you want for your speech classes! Mrs. Marie was very helpful and motivating when it came to getting up in front of the class to give speeches. As long as you do what you are asked, you will do great. It may even become your favorite class, it absolutely became mine!
Too bad to hear that she is retiring. I have had her for two classes. Learned alot from her.
baaaaaah, i cant believe ms marie is retiring. i procrastinated and i want to take her speech class. had her for intercultural studies she rocks!
hello all just wanted to let you know she is teaching online com st 7 class in the spring 2016 so she might be retired but she teaching sometimes
she is a awesome teacher. Understand the issues, teaches with Passion, respect. She give really good extra credit assignments that you can choose from. You must follow exactly when it comes to the term paper she assigns . Test are not that hard. the term paper is a big part of your grade. make sure you do the Discussions
Love the class and love Ms. Marie
Love the class and love the teacher
In 2013 I was attacked in the stairwell. I reported the incident to the campus police but nobody ever contacted me to see if I was OK. Ms. Marie was the only person who seemed conserned. She referred me to a counselor and checked with me the next few weeks to see if I was OK. I did like her class but mostly I appreciated her humanity.
Run fast and don't look back. This professor is knowledgeable, but she is too much. It is a 3 unit online class and her workload is more of a 7 units class. I am a 4.0 GPA student, and she is very ridiculous by being very ambiguous all the time! Unlike other online professors that I have taken, this professor will confuse the heck out of you.
Great professor! Be ready to read and learn. Be engaged in discussions and plan for your term paper. You work for what you get.
She is very strict grader. Her lecture and assignments are never clear and left you confused. She even ignore emails and etudes messages if do not understand the assignment. She post too much announcements that confuse you out. She doesnt explain the assignment and expect you to go get help from other sources instead of asking her. DO NOT HER!!!
She needs to learn how to teach the class before pursuing teaching. Her discussion criteria is so confusing and gets mad if you ask her to clear up. She makes you confused with too much announcements and assigns so much reading at the same time that is difficult to catch up. Dont take it if you care for your grade.
This was a great class. The prof has been teaching this class for a long time. She travels and is able to give true-life examples. The best thing is that she spent time with me on the phone (nearly an hour) going over criteria and ideas. She's really nice and cares about her class and students. She participates in class nearly every day and r
Just don't. She thinks this is the only class her students are taking. The workload for this 3 unit class is way more than any of my 5 unit classes. Her grading criteria is overly strict and she's not clear on what she wants. I'm sure she's knowledgeable on the subject but she's horribly unorganized and leaves you confused.
I took this class online, there is a lot of reading, and the weekly discussions require time and participation, but she's a good teacher who wants you to succeed in the class. I learned a lot, and know it will be information that will excel me in my career.
Was really hopeful for the class, started off really well. Then she has you do one huge Ethnography paper (which isnt bad) but she is so unclear about what she wants and is very vague in the rubric.
Cultural Com and Ms Marie were my favorite class and teacher. I love the subject and the way she teaches. My major is early education and she has the characteristics of a good teacher; she participates in class, she provides clear explanations of the assignments, she uses repitition. and she is available if you need. She cares about students.
Even online, this class requires a lot of real world person to person activity. Participation in discussion each week is important. It's a really time consuming class between the reading, activities, term paper, and sorting through announcements. She's clearly very informed in this area, but can be quite confusing. You really have to dig for info.
She offers extra credit and tests are easy. Only thing is her grading criteria is super weird. She has a rubric but does not follow it. Workload isnt a lot but you have to post on canvas Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday. She is an encouraging and sweet lady but weird when it comes to grading. Her canvas is also all over the place, hard to understand.
One of the best classes I have had a delta. Learned alot. Great teacher. She participates in class and has good examples and stories. She cares about students and is kind.
Would love to take more classes like this. Ms Marie made the content relevant, interesting and fun. The class opened my eyes to more than communicating with different cultures. The class is organized and easy to understand. At first the discussion seemed like alot but it was my favorite because we learned from each other got to know everyone
I am learning so much in this class that I have never thought aabout before. Dr, Marie is an excellent teacher and a very nice woman. She offers help all the time. She says she loves teaching and I believe her because it shoes.
While it's very obvious that she cares about her students and her class, taking it online was unpleasant. discussions are all over the place, as is the class. currently still waiting on my grade from her class, even though she said she has already submitted them. not the worst but not great.
