She's passionate about dance, and the quizzes and exams are online. Classes are mandatory via iclicker tho.

This professor needs to be reported. She changed the syllabus overnight and released our first quiz, naming it a discussion, which resulted in it not showing up on Canvas. Nobody even knew when the quiz was as the date was not on the syllabus. The one time she mentioned it was during her inperson, nonrecorded lecture, 1 day before the due date.

I don't know why everyone complains; she is so nice, and it is a super easy A as long as you go to class (and do the iClickers). And she wants everyone to get an A. Weekly quizzes or assignments, but they aren't too hard. Deadlines can be confusing. So much extra credit just for participation in class.

100% an A grade as long as you are willing to do the work, not much to do, but the attendence was really important

Dance45 . Holmes S W 2 Months Ago

Went into this class thinking it would be an easy GE. I was wrong. Attendance is mandatory. Her communication about assignments is not clear. There was lots of confusion in the first few weeks that could have been easily avoided if she had been clearer on instructions and due dates. It's an easy A if you do everything asked, but really annoying.

Absolutely ruined my day every time she would talk about her students in such a negative way.
