Introduction to select methods for conducting advanced research in theatre, drama, and performance. The methodological focus, which varies according to instructor, may include ethnography, historiography, dramatic criticism, phenomenology, or audience reception, among others. Students will read exemplary monographs and statements of method from leading scholars in the field. They will then practically apply those methods to an original, ongoing research project that will culminate in a substantive seminar paper.

Letty was super sweet throughout the quarter and was super involved with her students. def go to lecture, she makes long topics concise and easy to understand. def at least skim through the plays assigned, but the exams are much easier if you know at least a few of them very well.

She is so understanding that people are taking this for a GE! Midterm and Final were heavily hinted at by both TAs and Letty making them easy to study for. Extra credit opportunities and discussion submissions each week pad your final grade nicely. Def take for an Art GE if you need one!

Overall not too difficult of a class, some extra credit offered and she was very nice and tried to know everyone's names which was impressive. Class was more interesting than I excepted, and it's clear how to succeed. Worthwhile GE to take.

I know what you're thinking. Theater sound lame, but this class is taught in a contemporary way. Material is taught via lectures and online plays/readings. Weekly discussions were the only homework. If you pay attention and understand the material at a surface level, you will highly likely get an A in this class.

Letty is very funny and sweet, weekly discussion posts + readings/plays to watch. Very easy class to get an A in, but make sure you come to class as attendance is taken. Midterm is an easy in-class and final is an online test.
