Easy and straight forward. Just do the little work there is!

As long as you go to class and get the notes she will give you all the answers to the test the day before. She does take attendence.

really easy, not too much dancing

this class is really easy if you take the time to study before the tests. relatively no homework except for one dance critique and only 3 exams. i would definitly recommend her. dance days are fun!

It's not that hard, but she sucks. Just make sure you do the paper right or you'll lose a lot of points.

Very good. I'm not much of a dancer, but I understand everything in class. Easy notes, not required reading. Actually dance about 7 times- easy and not put on the spot. Take this class.

Lectures are well-organized and she gives you the answers to all the test the class before it.

Easiest class ever! Everything on the tests is on the review sheet. Impossible to do badly!

I thought she was kind of snooty and full of herself, but the class is pretty easy. This is definately a class you need to take with friends, preferably ones of the opposite sex.

her class was so much fun, I really had a blast! got to experiment with a variety of different dances and her exams were easy. I agree, its hard to do bad in her class!

This class sucks ass. It's easy, but man, totally sucks. Going at 7:45am was comparable to eating 500 cucumbers in one day. Cucumbers just aren't that good. Bored to death. Only danced 3 times. :(

Not a bad class at all- take notes, watch film clips, do a few dance days- she reviews all test material before the tests, you have one big paper, but you can correct it to get an A- attendance counts, but you can miss 2 classes and still get an A- its what an apprec. should be!

Easy class if you go to it and do the study guides, danced a lot of the days probably 6 or 7 times, very fun

Gorman is a good teacher. Lectures are boring, but there is really no other way to give the material. Tests for me were challenging, but for most others, it is not bad. I think I just struggle with the dumb stuff. Take her, she is nice and helpful.

You get to watch lots of really cool dance videos that make you want to dance. Plus, the tests are pretty easy if you just study for a bit.

This class is a lot of fun. The tests are super easy, even if you don't study for them. I would recommend taking this class with a friend.

This class is pretty easy. If you put a little bit of work into studying for her tests it can be incredibly easy. We got out of class early almost half of the time and we watched a ton of videos (most of which were rather humerous). I would recommend taking this class to anyone that needs to fill a gen-ed requirement.

Easy class, but you do have to put in a little time studying for the tests-their kinda picky. She gives you a review sheet and goes over all of the answers, but make sure you know the question both ways. On the review sheet she may ask you what a dancer did, but on the test she may list the things a dancer did and ask you to name the dancer.

Easy class. You have to take apprech classes, so if you want an easy A take this. Lectures get a little boaring, but you get out of class 25 minutes earily every day and you don't have to do a thing until exam time

Grades on attendance. Three tests. Memorize the study guides and you will do well. The only bad thing is you have to go to one dance performance and critique it and you sometimes have to dance in class (unless you are into that).

Really easy class, but I ****ed up by thinking I didn't have to study for the tests. She's a good teacher. Too large classes to get personal.

Super easy class. 3 tests that you get a study guide for with every answer. 1 performance critique (3 pgs long). That's the only hard part of the class, make sure your critique is 3 pgs or you will get a "D" on it. Final (test 3) not comprehensive, and Gorman is a really nice lady. I really enjoyed this class!

Easy class except for the grading on attendance. For a 2 credit apreach class this sucks, cus i never went but aced all the test since her reviews go over every question on the exam

The dancing is so much fun.. learn all types of dance easy tests.. one outside critique.. extra credit offered

Dancing is a little akward, but bearable. Show up and she will cover EVERYTHING that she will ask on the test. Do a decent job on your critique and with a re-do and ex. cred review, you will def. get an A!

Nice lady. Pretty easy...three multiple-choice unit exams, and one paper to write. I just wish we could have danced more.

Easy. Three tests straight from notes. Can miss up to three classes without grade being affected... One paper that you can BS through as long as your spelling and grammar are legit.

she was a great teacher...easy class...only 3 multiple choice tests and she tells you exactly what to study...the dancing was fun

Dancing was fun!!! 3 multiple choice tests that are easy if you show up for the review. She goes over pretty much every question on the test. The paper is easy and you can BS your way through it. She is really into what she teaches and is willinging to help if needed. Take her for an easy A!

Show up. Dances are fun. One performance you have to go to..a lot easier to find a performance in spring. Take before Healy because you don't have to make up your own dance and perform it. Can earn up to 40 points extra credit. Easy exams.

Gorman is pretty easy. She is a nice teacher and everything.

Very easy class. Lectures and dancing. She always lets class out early. Tests are rediculously easy.

Kathleen Gorman is the best. Take her if you can! We had a lot of cancellations this semester, but regardless exams were to the point but a little tricky, gives exact study guides, knows this is a gen ed and doesn't push people to dance their hearts out. Must attend one dance performance and can earn extra credit. Takes attendance every day.

Easy Class. Kinda boring, but the dance days (6 or 7 days) are fun.

Really easy class. Lecture boring but dance days are really fun.

Very easy. The dance days were really fun. Tests were pretty easy, everything comes right from the study guide that she gives out. It was my favorite class of my semester. :)

Overall a pretty easy class. Lectures are boring, dance days are pretty awkward. Beware-she will call you out & make you feel extremely embarrassed if you mess up during the dance days. You can skip 2 classes& still get full points for attendance. Takes attendance every day. Must attend one performance & write a paper-easy stuff. XC possible

Class is pretty boring & attendance is mandatory. You can only miss 2 times but she's very understanding of personal issues. Dance days were not that fun.. but weren't hard. Gives you all the information the class before a test. Fairly easy but not very interesting.

Very easy class, just what an apprec. class should be! Lectures are super boring but you get out early almost every time. She goes over every answer on the test the class before the test. Dance days are kind of fun, but sometimes awkward.

She lectures about only things you need to know for the test, class was cancelled twice during the semester, only 1 out of class assignment, dance days are interesting and easy. you actually get to try what you are learning, review days you go over exactly what is on the test the following class period. would definitely recommend this class.

I had dance appreciation with her, and it wasn't too hard. She is very nice if you get to know her, but isn't extremely approachable. She is very clear and straightforward with what you will need to know for tests. Go to all the review sessions and study notes and you will do fine!

Had her for dance appreciation-great teacher! Tests are super easy as long as you take good notes and pay attention when she goes over the study guide. Funny lady, I really enjoyed her class. Three exams, one paper. Super easy, she understands it's an apprec class so she isn't a strict grader. Take her!

Great teacher, attendance mandatory, usually get out of class early, very clear, writes important notes on white board, and goes over everything on the test/study guides on the exam review days. Exams and dance critiques are an easy 100 if you study.

I had Kathleen Gorman for dance appreciation. Overall, I enjoyed the class. The dance days were a little weird, but if you have fun with them they can be enjoyable! She gives out a study guide before each test and goes over all of the answers. Most days a majority of lecture was spend watching videos. Really easy class, I would recommend it!

She is very passionate about teaching dance appreciation. She will jump right into the lectures and will not get off track. she will get you out of class early quite often. She is organized and you will know the expectations from day one. This class is easy to stay on track.

I'm a dancer so I was excited to take this class. She definitely made the class enjoyable for a 7:45 class. When we dance in the class its kind of awkward, but once your class gets into it, its lots of fun. You have a textbook, but you really don't need it, she goes over everything in class. One of my easiest classes by far. Highly recommend her!

SHE"S GREAT. Take her! even if you have no interest whatsoever in dance. She makes it fun and it is definitely a gen ed course. There are three exams and one paper. The third exam is the final. She tells you EXACTLY what is going to be on the tests.

She tells you exactly what's on the test the class before review, it's very helpful. Attendance is mandatory, but her lectures are interesting and she shows a lot of videos. The dancing is as fun as you make it. I really enjoyed this class.

Very easy class. Go to every class, write your critique, and glance over the review sheet 10 minutes before an exam and you're guaranteed an A. Watch videos, get up and dance, much better than a normal lecture class.

She is a great professor :D The best professor, she is very helpful and sweet. She does whatever it takes to help you. Super friendly and I recommend this class :D

Easy class. She offers extra credit and is an easy grader. Exams are easy if you look over the study guide. Easy A.

I had Kathy for Dance Appreciation and liked her. She's a little intimidating but once you get comfortable, she's a lovely person. She genuinely cares about dance and has a lot of information to offer. Tests are a little tough for what you'd expect from an apprec class but the dance days are fun!

It's an aprec class. Of course it's not going to be that hard. She presents the information in a way that's easy to understand, and before each test she lays out everything you need to know to pass the test. Her grading scale makes it seem even easier to get an A, but it is somewhat deceiving. You need it that low to pass.

Kathy is great! The day before the exams (there's only 3 including the final), she literally gives you the answers in class. The tests are straight forward, just make sure you know all the people and what not. The dance days are fun (there's like 6 days of it) but if you're not a fan of that kind of stuff, don't take it. Easy grader and an easy A.

Show up to class every day, even if you don't take notes and you will pass. She gives you the answers before each exam and you memorize those. Participation in dance days (6 of them) are important to get a good grade. Boring lectures but Extremely Easy A.

Attendance is mandatory but easy A! She gives all of the answers to the test the class before so all you have to do is study that. She is very helpful if you have any questions and the dance days can actually be fun. Definitely recommend this class

So the class may not be the most interesting on lecture days, but attendance is part of your grade so it's SUPER easy to get extra points. Many of the dance performances are on campus and are less than $5 so just going to 1 isn't a huge deal. She always gives the answers the day before the test, plus an 86% is an A. She really WANTS you to get an A

Loved this class, very little dancing is actually required. Mostly just learning about it.

The class isn't bad. There is one dance critique paper that is lengthy, but she lets you re-do it and any extra ones are worth extra credit. Her tests are detailed but she goes through the study guide with you the day before. Be ready to dance!

Professor Gorman is a generally good professor. There isn't a lot of effort on her part to get to know her students, but she seems like a nice person. Her classes aren't difficult, just make sure you don't miss them!

This class was the easiest class I ever took. Only three unit exams that she basically gives the answers to. Downsides are you do have to write a paper critiquing a dance performance and you can only skip two classes to not be docked points. We got out like 20 minutes early almost every day. Super easy gen ed class. Activity days are not very fun.

Her humor made lectures more enjoyable. Pretty easy and fun A

dont know much about her personality but there were only 3 exams the whole semester. she gave study guides for all three which were easily filled out by the information on canvas. one paper due, wrote 8 pages in a 5 min long dance. ended the semester with a 98%.

I have taken about 5 classes from Kathy and she is awesome. I love how she is so nonchalant about life, meaning she is very easy going and kind. She has a big heart and loves to joke around with her students. I wish she wasn't retiring.
