This professor was awesome and imo too nice. It's supposed to be an easy-A class, but I felt I personally didn't gain as much from the class as I could have. Respect the subject / be interested if you're taking this class!

I really liked prof Holmes! she was really sweet and cares about students grades. we have 3 outside performances (2 downtown 1 on campus) which were kinda annoying but they were pretty entertaining. we had maybe 3 online quizzes (one which is the final) fully open note and easy. very easy GE!

Dance 45 was an easy class but sometimes boring. Must attend three performances which were miserable but class has no homework other than 1 one-page essay analyzing one of the performances. Mandatory attendance based on iclicker but overall very easy class and highly recommend as a GE.

Class is an easy A and she knows it. No midterm or final, but you must attend 3 dance performances (and pay for them yourself) and write an essay about 1 of them. Attendance is done through iClicker which is geo-located to the room. Holmes is very particular about late work, but that typically isn't an issue as assignments can be finished quickly.

3 mandatory performances that you had to pay for ($60 total). iclicker questions every class and had geolocation so you have to go to class. No final but 3 quizzes that are all open note but VERY specific so take good notes on her lectures. She's very passionate but very strict and not accommodating to students that have conflicts with performances

didnt like was that absolutely ZERO late work was accepted and that you can't make up any work even tho its just a GE class... but the work is definitely doable and pretty easy. quizzes/"exams" open on the weekends which was so inconvenient, didnt understand why she made them open on fridays/saturdays. shes very passionate and a good lecturer tho
