Reviews of professor Macarena Gandarillas

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
 Not good for nondancers. For starters, Her syllabus has no dates; her syllabus says that she expects 100% attendance and only allows two absences without your grade being hurt. As others have said, much of the info about midterms and finals is only given in class orally, and finally, the final paper and the final dance are due the same week.

She doesn't use canvas and her syllabus will give you almost zero information about due dates and the course. She expects you to memorize what she says during the zoom classes. She grades the final paper ONLY based on grammar and takes a lot of points off if you don't get your grammar checked at the writing center even tho they're always booked.

Macarena is a fierce but passionate woman; she does come off as intimidating, but her mission is to turn you into the best dancer you could possibly be. She cares deeply for her students and pushes them to excel in their craft. It will be difficult for those who have little to no experience with dance, but take her advice and you'll be okay.
