Easy GE with passionate professor. Attend lectures, go to 3 dance concerts, and you'll breeze through. Tests are open-note, and unstuckstudy is a helpful study tool alongside the provided review slides.

The exams are all online. It's just annoying to have to go to a concert downtown.

professor press is an extremely sweet and accomodating professor. her tests are online and the reflections are not graded harshly. i think her ta meredith canabiss is taking over her course after this past spring quarter, and i think she's going to keep the same format. great easy ge!

1. Attend the three required concerts (cost $, but were very fun!) 2. The tests are completely open notes. Just use the provided review slide deck whilst taking the test (completely allowed). 3. Show up to lecture for iClicker sign in, which is MANDATORY. Press is extremely passionate about Dance and very much loves student's opinions. Nice class!

A good class for an easy A, and she was a very nice and understanding professor. You just need to attend lecture and the dance performances and you will pass.

Surely this has to be the easiest A on campus. The lectures are fine, and grades are based on attendance, some exams, and concert attendance. Exams are open notes so not problem there, and concerts are kinda pricy but they're fun.

This professor is so kind and you can tell she is really interested in this stuff. You do have to attend three concerts but they were actually interesting. Also the midterms were easy if you go to the review session, its also open notes. I really like this class its an easy A if you just show up to lecture & concerts honestly.

She lectured straight from the slides, and the slides were online so I ended up just doing them beforehand anyway. Tests are extremely easy and you do not need to pay attention in this class to get a good grade!

It is an easy GE. Not much else to say. Be ready to go to a few concerts which may feel like a pain but given how little effort you need to make to do well in this class it is worth it. Dr. Press is caring and understanding. She seems like a very kind woman, but I'll be honest the lectures are hard to go to when my bed is calling my name.

easy class and GE requirement! attendance is checked with iclicker ever lecture and there are 3 required concerts outside of class. Exams are very easy and based strictly on lecture material. She is very passionate about her work!

Professor clearly likes to do what she does. To improve: she claims she will let you out on time--then will go over by 2 minutes & complain ur packing, + the power points can be hard to follow since she uses several & they aren't the clearest. NOTE-if your class is in person you will have to attend live dance performances, some you have to pay for.

Really good professor, requires iClicker for attendance. 4 exams worth 80% total, but if you watch the review session and see the required dance performance, you will get a straight A
