Comment:
This class was a joke. The Prof had no structure to her class and was moving project dates around and changing the weight of projects. If you didn't agree with her she would argue with you until you submit to her ideas. I have never experienced such a horrible class, I didn't want to attend class because I feared processes. So in short don't do it

Comment:
A terrible waste of my time and money. Vicki is a very nice person, but her class a waste. I learned next to nothing about the course subject and her tests were completely unreasonable. For example, one of her multiple choice questions started with 'according to the overhead we saw in class...'

Excellent prof. Her expectations were very clear, and she was a great lecturer. She had a good mix of relevant life stories and statistics/facts, and I learned a lot. Attending her classes are mandatory because she basis a third of her exams on class lectures, which often aren't covered in the text. However, find a buddy and you'll be fine.

Comment:
Perhaps the nicest prof at UVIC. Her guidelines are clear and the text is SUPER easy to follow. Apart from the fact that half way through the semester she left, and we had Noreen the course was very well structured. There are 2 exams (50% each) with multiple choice, true/false, and essay components - there is "somethign for everyone"

Comment:
Unfortunately, this prof is a waste of time. Test are brutal, because she takes more than half the Q's from her lectures (she refuses to provide even an outline or notes to students) Anyone with an opinion that clashes with hers is disrespected or ignored. Learned nothing. ONLY take her course if you are a feminist. otherwise you'll be bored.

Her class was an eye opener for me. I took it in my firdt year at UVIC! I had went on my merry way and had misconceptions of this world and the course material really gave me much insight. Vicky was a good prof. She put a great deal of effort into teaching her class. Just because, she expresses her opinions does not make her a flaming feminst

Comment:
she is great if you like a teacher who is high on herself, thinks she knows everything and feel students know more than her on any topic, she hates being proven wrong and will not accept it at all.... she only wants the student to hear what she thinks and has studied, even if its outdated......very boring lectures but an easy GPA booster

Comment:
If you take this class, and if you have a differing opinion from this prof, be prepared to swallow your pride if you want to get a good mark. She rejects any beliefs that contradict with her own as ****, ****, descriminatory etc. Disorganized at times, and cares more about spreading her own views than being objective or non-biased.

Comment:
Flaming feminist, not very organized, not very open to other opinions. She experiments with her class too much which results in so many people leaving. These experiements will most likly create more stress and work for both herself and her students.

Vicki is interesting and thoughtful in her lectures. She cares about her research and puts effort into her teaching. I like it that she is not afraid to say what she really thinks. What ever happened to standing up for what you believe in. You go girl! Great prof!
