I am currently taking the class and I cannot stand her. She thinks she's some prima-ballerina and she's not. She favors anyone who is a dance major, so if you're not a dancer or you are it's not your major don't expect any attention. As for the work it seems okay so far.

Took this class online over the summer. She is a great teacher and cares about the class a lot. That being said, this class is no joke. There is a lot of work, multiple lectures to watch each week, and a dance concert to attend (which isn't too bad). You can easily get an A if you put in the work, but you will be busy with this class

This is probably one of the worst professors I have. The class is not even suppose to be difficult but she makes it. If you do one thing wrong she fails you and you spend your money on performances. Since when are you supposed to spend money on a dance performance. She acts like everyone in the class is going to major in dance and is just awful.

LOTS OF WORK! its all super unnecessary. The group projects are a lot if your group sucks, but the discussion posts arent too bad. I hated that I had to go to 2 performances, and had to go take actual classes. The first week is overwhelming, but it does get easier. I would not take this class as you cultural appreciation course. Take theatre.

I loved having Professor Berry this semester. She made the class interesting, and all tests/quizzes are open note which is verbatim to her slides. She opens the class for discussions which allowed understand the information better and connect with my peers. Take good notes and be active in class, and it'll be an easy A! Take in person if you can!!

This professor was so sweet and is willing to work with you if you ever have a question. Every week there were lectures online and at the end of the week, there was homework due. The tests weren't awful, but pay attention to the lectures and take notes. You have two concerts to attend with a small essay (mandatory), but they were cool to watch.

Natalie is suppose to be teaching Dance in society, but aside from some African and Asian cultural references built into the cirriculum don't expect to here about but anything but Ballet. She clearly holds western dance as the elite form and finds ways to interject it or compare it to every other culture we learn about.

Professor Berry made a couple of one-off comments during the semester that made us all feel uncomfortable.

I was excited when i saw she had pretty good rating but am highly regretting taking her class. She grades discussion posts so hard. The 1st is always due at 5pm on a friday and the followup on sunday at 5. She is not caring tbh. Grades on a point based scale which makes it harder to know if you are doing good or not. I would stay away if you can.

(Easy A). Weekly quizzes & discussion posts; content is gathered from weekly lectures. Lectures can and will be extremely content-heavy, but the quizzes and discussions are a no-brainer. Gave a lower score because I was on time with EVERY single assignment, until the last "major" paper. I had a documented excuse, and she still took off 20 points.

This was the worst professor I had this semester. When I emailed, she always gave a rude response and was never helpful. She does grade strictly and sometimes even unfairly.... For example, I received 5 points off (so a 75%) on a discussion post because my group member didn't post anything for me to respond to by the deadline. Would not recommend.
