DANCE 365
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Andrea is the sweetest person ever. She has such a kind heart and understands that everyone has things to do outside of this class. She is very open to dialect and genuinely talks to all of her students with respect and inspiration.

DANCE 365
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Andrea is a very excellent professor. She is always happy to help her students and her lectures are very worth listening to. This course has no exam but 2 essays based on readings. For international students like me, reading may be hard to understand sometime but she's always happy to help you. I am hoping to take her class again.

DANCE 200
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
I thought this class would be semi-easy and interesting... turns out it was fairly challenging and *incredibly* interesting. Andrea's a very clear, precise speaker and she genuinely wants her students to understand the material. My writing improved a lot (it's a Comm B credit), and I learned so much more about performance/dance.

DANCE 365
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Andrea is a wonderful human! She is so knowledgable in all realms of dance history. She is especially great in making sure you're clear on the time line of events and how things link together. You have almost-weekly quizzes, but they are easy if you pay attention and go over your notes. You will not be disappointed with a course from this woman!
