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.
Loved this professor, and my TA Cate was great as well!
She is the best! Her lecture slides are packed with info and not posted at the end which was the most difficult thing. She connects with sm with her students! Discussion posts, Essay midterm (in-class) and final (online). 3 Quizzes throughout but open-book and take-home. Have to rent like two theatre productions for $10 each but thats it! Take her!
Professor Lety wasn't problematic with grading, but her passive-aggressiveness and unwillingness to hear other opinions made the lectures difficult. Disagreeing with her led to snarky responses and hypocritical takes. That was irritating, but otherwise, the class was an easy pass. Just be careful with wording on the midterm, and it should be okay.
At first I was intimidated by a GE having required lecture & section attendance but prof Garcia is so nice!! Her workload is so doable and perfect for a busy STEM major. Her midterm had 14 questions and you could choose which 3 to answer. Hw is usually just a weekly discussion post, sometimes a small online quiz. Loved the class. Highly recommend.
