CollegeAmazing 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.
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.
I knew I was going to love this class and I was not disappointed! The material was super interesting and Dr. King was so kind. He is clearly passionate about what he does and that shows in his lectures. He expects a lot from students and isn't just going to hand you an A, but if you do the work and show interest in the class you'll be fine.
You're graded based on 2 essays and 2 tests and some participation. Pretty easy and straight forward class. But his lectures are so long I felt like 80 years went by by the time class ended. He just rambles in for 2 hours about random stuff from the plays. Chill guy tho. Hes old school type of bro
