CollegePlease do not take this professor. Very horrible organization and formatting. I repeat. Do not take. Had to drop the class.
Great Professor who's nice and caring. 50% of grade from weekly writing assignments, 25% participation and 25% online final. Take this class for GE you will not regret. The online final is hard with a "can't go back to previous question after you submit" but we have 3 hours and it's open book. She also add five extra points to final overall grade.
Prof seems nice however Dance36 is just super disorganized it seems as a class. Like it kinda does follow the history of dance but also not really. The final was incredibly specific and a total time crunch
Professor Bennahum is great, she's willing to answer any questions you have with open arms. There's a lot of extra credit material. The only thing that was graded was forum questions due every week which makes up 50% of your grade, final that was 25% and section attendance that is 25%. Dont tell the reviews stop you from taking this course :)
Lectures were very dense and her slides had a lot of words, kind of in random order too. Expected to attend performances downtown, transportation provided but you have to pay for your ticket. Questions on final about them. Only 1 test which was the final, open note/book & online. Weekly discussion posts 200-400 words. Fairly easy class.
Her lecture style has a lot of information and is not clearly organized. You are basically scrambling to write everything down as she blows through lecture. She also tested us on dance performances that we were supposed to see, no matter if you were able to see it or not. Take a different art credit if you can.
