Reviews of professor Barbara Powers

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Powers was a very nice person, however, she made participation mandatory so that if you miss 3 lectures, your grade will be dropped a letter grade. Only assignments are a quiz per unit, two essays that were very easy, and a group final project. The content is very enjoyable to learn but be prepared to show up every single meeting time.

Professor Powers rarely gave any homework or tests, only a few projects later in the semester. Her classes are lectures and discussions, she encourages everyone to be involved in but doesn't makes it mandatory that everyone participates. You are allowed 4 absences. The dance labs and final project can push you out of your comfort zone but are fun.

The class is very lecture-heavy. She is a really nice person, but cares a lot about dance, which makes the class way harder than it should be for people who don't really care about dance. Also I hated the unit assignments because she makes them group projects, and no one ever does the work and I always ended up doing everything for my group.

barbi is such an amazing ballet teacher! she was respectful and kind to all students; participation is a must in this class, but the way she styles her classes makes ballet more entertaining; there is one paper and a quiz (but it is only one question)
