SPAN169 . 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

Prof who tries to make the class interactive (that's an understatement), in a creative way, and tries to make content relevant. Is a good lecturer and knows his stuff, and is also understanding and nice too. Class was never difficult to prep for or for exams/papers. Very manageable, sometimes heavy reading though some weeks.

Professor Cabranes-Grant is a great professor. He's super animated and engaging in the class material. We had one midterm essay and one final essay, both take home, and a small presentation on a poem in class. I learned a lot and have a newfound appreciation for the material!

This class was unlike any class I've taken before! It was all about having an interactive and immersive experience. We would do stretches or mini theater games during lecture. We went outside to practice what we learned. And the final was a group performance along with a 3 page report. By the end you'll understand what it means to be a spect-actor!

He is super passionate about the subject and a very clear lecturer. He encourages student participation and takes offense to students who leave class early or are on their phones/facebook/ etc.

An incredible professor, extremely personable and approachable; he taught with a fluidity and passion that made his class extremely interesting addition to my quarter. I would highly recommend any class taught by this amazing professor.
