Reviews of professor Dawn Stoppiello

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I VERY MUCH ENJOYED THIS CLASS! Super easy if you put in some effort! I have no background in dance so the ReRosas activity was intimidating at first but honestly it helped me step out of my comfort zone! She is really nice too. Got to watch great musicals. Graded on easy weekly activities, 1 paper, 1 group project, 1 final project. Excellent GE-A

Super chill class and Stoppiello is such a sweetie! There are a couple films to watch and weekly assignments, but very easy to complete while also learning something interesting. And you don't have to know how to dance lol

I loved class with Dawn! 305 is now 105, but I believe the content is the same. It was a small class, nearly no homework, and we really got to play around with a lot of technology. More of an exploratory lab than a lecture, but so worth it and easy to get a good grade.

Stoppiello was so chill with online attendance, although I felt bad since basically no one joined her optional zoom classes. All you have to do is watch a film a week and write a little paragraph about it. No exams and the final was two easy group projects. Really easy for arts GE.

She's super nice and accommodating, but is airy with grading details and is pretty unclear on what she wants for the required papers in the class. The midterm answers are pretty much handed to you. End of class had a film project where you create a screendance, which she specializes in. Lots of readings but can be skimmed. Very low stress GE-A.

I thought it was going to be an easy GE but she grades very tough and will leave vague notes as feedback. Her lectures are so boring but she is passionate about what she teaches. There are a ton of group projects and weekly mini-essays that are easy but take up SO much time.. Take a different GE to make life easier.

She's funny and knowledgeable. Grading is chill as long as you try. You don't have to go to class, but you should complete the assignments. Common sense takes you far in this class, so you don't have to do the readings (or can just skim). She gave us the exact questions and answers on the midterm as a study guide. Super easy class! Great GE A!

I had her for Dancing on the Screen, and it was an easy A class. Attendance is optional. She grades easy, and most of the assignments are done in class. The class is weekly graded assignments, 6-page paper, midterm, and a final project. Classes are usually lecture. Can do well by just skimming readings/movies. Easiest class ever took.

No written tests, just assignments that weren't necessarily hard, but were quite time-consuming. The final was just a group film project which was quite chill. You don't need to know how to dance in this class.

Great class and it was only once a week.
