Many of the students in the class, myself included, felt his grading was often unfair, and some of his feedback on larger assignments were downright offensive and unprofessional.

Dr. King initially started out as a decent guy. As the quarter went on, he became very rude and judgemental. It seemed as though all essays were based on his opinion rather than writing quality. Along with this, he did not hesitate to make underlying racist remarks regarding Wilson's "The Piano Lesson." Only take his class if you can kiss a**.

Class was fun and interesting. He was very passionate about the subject which made it easy to learn. Also, you get to watch many clips, videos and movies. You don't even have to buy the books, since you can easily find them in the library. Even though the prompts for the essay were unclear at times, he was very lenient with the grading.

although he is very passionate about theater and incredibly well read, he is completely and utterly boring to listen to and often goes off about topics that seem unrelated to the piece being discussed.

Amazing and very passionate professor! Do the readings (were all really good) and attend lectures. He is awesome and super smart!

Prof King is an incredible professor! Lectures were very fascinating and we read 5 theater texts. You use Greek root words to analyze and understand the objectives of actors and playwrights. I absolutely loved this class and especially True West. Be prepared to write 3 short take home essays. The midterm and the final were hard - you must study.
