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.

Super nice person, and extremely passionate about collecting! Discussion posts on short articles + a brief presentation on a collection of your own. On occasion he would bring his own collections for us to look at which was super cool. Take this class if you need some units.

Really sweet prof and you can tell how passionate he is about the material. Many of the assignments (3 papers, written final) were really convoluted, but your TA will likely clarify what they are looking for (they also aren't very hard). Don't worry about skipping lecture, you'll be fine. Super chill class but final was rough.
