Reviews of professor Nicole McClam

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
For her first semester, shes done her best in encouraging students to engage in the class by dancing to a corresponding topic. However, assignments do tend to be heavy so plan on putting her class on the priority field.

If you are not a dance major you may assume this class is an easy A. You get what you applied for. My advice, if you don't want to dance or be open to the idea of the world of dance then this class is not for you. Dance requires a level of focus and determination just like every other course. Mcclam does not believe in BS work! BS work = BS grade.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Very engaged in the class. Tries to make the class as fun as it can be and tries to keep the class entertained through videos and dancing. Allows and encourages us to express our opinions and thoughts on a dance. Humorous and caring.

 She fails to acknowledge there is a difference in knowledge and vocabulary of students who have a dance major and the ones that don't and are taking a class like this for the first time. She lacks empathy, sympathy, and thinks everyone's life is not full of responsibilities and is as flawless as hers.

I dont know what she expected from us.. we did weird dance moves every single day in the beginning of class and she would give rude remarks if we didnt do it. Shes too heavy on the group work as well. My grade should not be determined by some elses efforts. And the final should definitely not be a group project. By far the most irritating class.

We each create a dance in the beginning of the class& we have to do it in front of everyone every single class. We have multiple group assignments. Many unnecessary pop quizzes. A paper based on 2 dance performances that we went to see. For the final we create a dance with our groups& perform it in front of everyone. Save yourself the embarrassment

She is really bad at grading, she didn't even post completely for all the grades on the blackboard for all homework, and she gives participation grade so randomly, how can people who absent more and participate less can get higher participation grade than those who had never absent and participate more. Also a lot of weird dance video and homework!

She is so rude and has an attitude. Acts like she owes you. Never grades papers or assignments on time, has a stupid opinions about everything. Also she got a smart mouth. Makes you answer dumb questions like no one we everyone got all free time in the world like she does.

She gave me multiple failing grades on homework.. like really, homework? She didnt explain why I got the bad grade. Then she uses this thing called starfish which emails you when you do well in the class. I kept getting emails about how well I was doing on these homeworks but in person, I got a bad grade. She was purposely screwing with me.
