She was a little lost, considering it was her first quarter at UCSB but she did great. It is a very easy class and would recommend. You do have to attend 3 performances that you have to pay for yourself but it was fun.

3 quizzes (3rd one considered final), all were open note. Had to attend (and pay for!) 3 dance performances to attend outside of class (2 were downtown), though they were all enjoyable. Prof Holmes was really nice and reasonable. There were also opening and closing questions every lecture but they weren't difficult. Would definitely take again.

Don't get me wrong this professor is beyond amazing and she genuinely cares about her students but when it comes to exams I feel like she structures them weirdly to the point where I'm left very confused when it comes to some questions because they're worded so weirdly other than that she's amazing but I do wonder if the old professor was easier

Professor Holmes, is super sweet and caring, and she teaches Dance 45 extremely well; my only complaint would be the lack of speed for grading as several assignments aren't graded until like the last two weeks of class so you have to speculate about your grade in the class the whole time, but other than that the dance performances were really fun.

I loved DANCE45, it was super easy and fun! You had to attend 3 performances and only write one paper about one performance. Dr. Holmes is an amazing professor and i would definitely take a class taught by her again.

This course was very interesitng and a great way to get arts credit out of the way. I really enjoyed going to see performances, as they were manageble and were amazing experiences. There is no homework, but some test questions are based on in-lecture discussions. I had a really fun time in dance 45!

Extremely low grading efficiency. I didn't receive the midterm paper grade after Week 10. Tests are extremely complex and annoying. (watch videos) Questions make me overwhelmed. Many unnecessary strict rules for paper and extra credits. I don't know why she wants to make this introductory-level course difficult. I really regret choosing her course.

post the score very late; 3 required performances and one of them is right before the final week; make the final quiz long and hard

easy class, does require attendance through iclicker, and has opening/closing questions but otherwise not bad. the worst part is the 3 mandatory performances (you pay) and the quizzes that have some abstract/weird questions that weren't explained well in the lecture but everything is open note so it's not horrible.

Her communication wasn't the best. We would have pop quizzes in lecture. She asked us to pick a number between 1-10, we picked 7 and she then told us that would be the number of short answer questions on our final exam?? IClicker attendance, open and closing question, the closing question is locked until the last 5 mins of class.
