THR184AA . 11 Years Ago

I don't get how this awesome professor has low reviews! She's sweet and kind and very helpful. I'm taking her Theater 184AA class for Spring 2013 and I'm so far loving it! She's helpful and the workload isn't a ton! It's an interesting course because she makes it fun to learn. A+

The way this prof teaches makes the class seem extremely easy, but she takes it so seriously that it gets annoying. She hates laptops, and rushes through slides. Concerts get annoying, but the class is an easy A because she hates exams.

All you have to do in this class is write an essay and take two tests which you are told what the questions will be. Don't need to read or go to lecture, easy A and not boring.

Boring class. As a music major I had a genuine interest before her class... not any more. Just a bunch of unrelated information being thrown at you in an unorganized manner. Attendance not mandatory, don't buy the text book, save yourself the time and just take another Arts course. Only positive is it's an easy A with little to no work.

Manages to talk about nothing for the beginning three-fourths of class. Then moves on to playing unnecessary irrelevant music while going over the same slides from the previous class. Take if you wish to learn some useless facts about varying specific cultures.

Did not learn anything. Do not need to read textbook. Need to turn in weekly assignment on assigned reading in section, but the T.A. doesn't even check it. Lecture is not mandatory since power points are on gauchospace. Concerts are mandatory and expensive. Best part was getting to play Indonesian instruments.

If you are interested in the content, you will love this professor. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother, as she just wants to ask a bunch of pointless questions. So-so

Very interesting class and fun music concerts. You don't even have to take notes in lecture because they are all on Gaucho space. Tests are very straightforward and easy to ace. Good class to take if you want an easy A.

Go to class. Learn nothing. Write 1 short paper. Get an A. Great class if that's what your looking for.
