Good professor that I have ever come across. She is heplful for you. If you follow her instruction , you have no problem in her class and she have a lot experiences to share with you. Also, she will have a trip to visit a warehouse which help you to touch the reality. She loves harding students.

She is a nice teacher, however, she has a tendency to treat her students as little kids and may embarrase/humiliate them from time to time. I respect the fact that she takes her job seriously but if she's in a bad mood you do not want to be around her.

Get ready to head back to elementary school and or high school, she wastes so much unnecessary time on telling you to put your phone away, extremely unimpressed. Wastes up to half an hour. Read your textbook, if you don't know the terms it's because she doesn't mention it. Retest? Not a thing, very old school. Irrelevant to the new business models.

you need to do the work in order to get a good mark in her class. if you try to coast, and do assignments at the last minute or study for the quizzes and midterm test the day before, you will not do well. yes you need to read the textbook. most of the students think studying off her slides will be enough which is why they end up with a bad mark.

Really one of the best professors in Seneca. Lectures and online materials are clear and well-organized. Buy textbook?No need, just follow her lectures,given materials, put some effort, you'll get good marks. She is strict. If she isn't strict, you'll be lazy with study and learn little. She is a very responsible professor which is rare in Seneca.

This professor means business. Tough but has a no nonsense attitude towards homework. You need to be disciplined, focused and ready to work. Vickie is old school and brings a serious yet playfulness to the class room. Hands down if you want a professor that will push you, motivate you, and be there when you need her take Vickie's classes

This professor was rude to me and some of the other students. She refused to provide exact info about due dates of the assignments and had mostly negative attitude when was asked questions.
