She acts like she's on ur side with things like bad wifi, messed up/unclear due dates of assignments, however then refuses to fix them. Pretty inconsiderate, and stuck up woman.

By FAR the worst professor Ive ever had. Super inconsistent with deadlines and overall made what could've been a super fun, chill class, miserable and inconvenient. She releases assignments at random times, refuses to admit that she was ever "wrong" about anything/messed up. She blames canvas headquarters for issues when in reality its just her.

Class was easy if you did the readings and made sure to follow rubric. Tests and assignments often only open on the weekends.

She gave assignments at the worst times that didn't help me learn and took so long. She would assign things on the weekends and not unlock it so I couldn't do them early or late, so if you were busy that weekend, you would just miss points on all assignments that week. It felt inconvenient on purpose. Easy to get an A. If you do the work you will.

She always said we would leave class early every day, but then we wouldn't lol. The lectures were boring, but overall really easy class. Definitely recommend as a GE. Don't skip class, but you don't even really have to listen.

If required iClicker (with zero mercy despite bad WiFi) not being enough, she creates random "reading checks" due at the most absurd and unpredictable times on random days. Bad policy on group attendance-- why are we losing points due to others' behavior? At the least the class is incredibly easy.

Really good class if you want an A but honestly kinda inconvenient. I-clicker was bad, the wifi in IV wasn't good and she's not understanding. Two required performances out of pocket. However prof. Holmes is very passionate and nice but removes points for talking. Check canvas often because easy to miss assignments, constant weekend work.

Genuinely easiest GE ever, only rough part is attending the mandatory lectures. Don't know how you can get anything less than an A.

She starts to post some quizzes on a random day, opens them only for a couple of hours, and then gets locked. No late submissions are accepted btw. Also, these quizzes are weighted 30% of your overall grade, so it really irritates you. Do not even go try to appeal and talk to her about this, it will ruin your day and the whole quarter.

Prof Holmes is passionate about dance, and I found some lectures interesting, but the required iClicker attendance with horrible internet was beyond frustrating-- after emailing many times they eventually adjusted my grade. One required performance got cancelled so we all had to scramble to find another. Overall an easy but inconvenient class.

This class is both easy and incredibly annoying. While grading is light and assignments are few, she will dock points from the entire class' "Community Consciousness" if one person is talking during lecture. The IV Theater also had very poor Wifi connection, which although out of her power, was not often taken into account. Easy A but at what cost?

The class itself was easy. It consists of three online exams, a daily iclicker question, a weekly 500 word discussion post, 2 mandatory dance performances, and a short reflection paper. The professor is nice but not very accommodating when it comes to technical issues. She also tends to deduct points from the whole class for other people's behavior
