TECS accept Dance classes for free electives?
#6
Ah okay. Thanks. I was thinking it would.

It's graded. All courses are graded unless I file "A Petition for P/NP Grade" at registration prior to beginning of semester being it's an actual class with a teaching instructor. Our CC and most of the other colleges in the area only allows like five C/NC classes on transcript, unless the older one has been replaced with a higher one (Like MATH 01: P, and later MATH 03: P)

You usually have an instructor go over slides or powerpoint or read from the book while you take notes, do some busy work, watch a mini-film, have lunch, come back and do more busy work or listen to reading, write a short one paragraph essay on what you learned and maybe take a small 25 point quiz on what was read during class at the end and you're graded on the essay and quiz. It's about an eight hour in one day class or nine hours with required lunch. Usually about 80 students in the class. At one time to fulfill the health requirement, our college had you take four 0.5 credit hour classes which were about a Saturday class lasting about four overs to fulfill the 2 credit California State Health Class Requirement.

I also have a few acting classes on my college transcript. But they're actually letter grades like "Acting I" and so on. I did a class like Acting and Movement. It was called "Acting for Film and TV." We had to some pretty awesome but intense stuff like do a whole dramatic soap opera scene while being filmed using real props and a real set, had to know hour lines perfect. We had to do a comedy strech, and to a newscast report like you would see on TV, and do a fictional film portfolio as if we were submitting a portfolio to a TV casting agent. I can probably do a PLA on the mini-play we did from "Princess Bride". I remember doing that one scene word from word with some other students in live performance where the Zorro type of guy switches poisoned drinks with the Italian villian Vizzini. I was the Italian villain Vizzini. Oh man, totally fun times. I can hear right now in my head Kathy our coach yelling “be yourself, don’t be the actors in the play.” From the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_eZmEiyTo0
