CollegeGreat professor so far!
Easily one of the best professors I have ever had at University. Caring, helpful, engaging, and lenient. All of the above. I for sure recommend this class for anyone looking for a GE to complete.
I actually took THTR188s. Letty was by far my favorite professor this quarter. She works with students to make sure their needs are met, is lenient within reason, and really creates an environment that gets her students to think. She made me see the content in a different way and made me want to come to class.
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.
