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

THTR1 . King W D A Month Ago

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.

THTR1 . King W D 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

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.

THTR180A . King W D 2 Years Ago

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

Do not take his class! The guy is so boring and tiring that I want to just leave his class! This guy does not know how to talk straight to the point! I ask him a question, for improving my grade, and he does absolutely nothing to help me improve my grade!! Such a bad teacher and professor! Do not take his class! You will regret it afterward! Boring
