What students said

“She grades harshly and critiques harshly. Don't take it personally, if you take this class pass or fail and show up it's hard to fail.”

Main concern
Only one online sample; less detail on grading hardness.

Assessment risk
Standard
68/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person finals are solo or small-group dances graded on quality plus attendance and small written work.
“theres a final in it and its either a solo for the advanced class or a group of 3 for the beginer class”
“if you take this class pass or fail and show up it's hard to fail”
Online live Zoom feedback is praised; reviews do not clearly prove formal proctored exams.
“I am glad it was a live Zoom because she was able to give feed back on the spot.”
