It wasn't that bad just one writing assignment a week and a final. The lectures were disorganized, but the readings were the most helpful. honestly just do the readings and it should be okay
Not a very good lecturer, she jumps around timelines and never goes in chronological order. She also just says too much stuff that its really hard to follow. However, if you are looking for an easy A I do recommend this class just don't expect to learn much. My TA Meridith was very helpful and a lot better at teaching then her.
Her lecture slides are somewhat disorganized but it isn't too bad. She is really sweet and always eager to talk to students, plus she responds to emails pretty quickly. One (very small) writing assignment per week about the material, no midterm, and an online final. Despite what most people are saying, this class is really easy and I recommend it.
The way she organized her slides was very out of order, jumped around a ton. I think she also speaks a lot about things other than what we are currently learning and thinks we're all dance majors which is confusing. Besides the actual learning, she is very nice, wants to see us do well, and likes to take input from the students which I appreciate.
Please 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.
Weekly digital forum posting require lots of reading and research. Going to lecture is very helpful though also very boring. If you are taking this class for credit ... don't. Take dance 45 or music 15 instead. Final is very difficult, you will need to go to all the performances, lectures, and read every single article she gives out.
Don't get me wrong, she is a super sweet and passionate person. She is so unorganized that the content is very hard to follow because she is so erratic. She expects an unrealistic amount of memorization, lecture, and reading heavy. Her final consisted of random specific information that had no relationship to the understanding of the class.
