Your participation is heavily required and graded. Honestly, watch out since she will not help you after the first week of classes if you have issues with iClicker. Most notably, the participation, attendance, and comportment of other students WILL affect your grade i.e; she will lower your grade if other people talk or leave early.

Super easy class. Ended up forgetting to take a quiz and received an automatic 50%, yet still ended with an A+. Prof Holmes wants everyone to get an A so if you take all of the quizzes and go to the performances you should be fine (have to pay $40). Didn't seem too interested in the subject though, complained about the topics lol

Stay up to date with modules! iClicker attendance heavily impacts your grade so GO TO CLASS! She wants you to get an A, so just put in the work. In-class pop quizzes, so that's another reason to go. Required to attend performances downtown too (you have to pay but not $$). Final online. Easiest GE. Definitely recommend!

Sometimes has interesting lectures and very understandable but constantly says how she doesn't know much abt what she teaches. It's nice that she knows there's more for her to learn but her wording/ teaching style makes it feel like she just teaches to have a job. Easy class, except you have to pay for performances.

Easiest GE I have ever taken ever. Attendance is mandatory and worth a lot of your grade so go to class. Three online exams and a reflection paper. You also also required to go to three shows they are downtown so if you don't have a car you will have to bus. I missed a whole test on accident and still passed with an A. lecture lowk boring but go.

Easy GE, just lowkey the performances are very annoying and you have to pay money for them. 2 mandatory performances, 1 short reflection paper, and iclickers with a few pop quizzes in class so its best to just attend every class if you can. Super sweet, chill teacher, the layout of the class is just kinda confusing.
