Kane is a cool rahul! He really got me thinking about what I like about art. He's good at multiple media nad gave me critiques that helped a lot. His attendance policy was kind harsh. But he always met with me when I needed help. He can be a little slow with grading, but I think that's because he had to put up with also teaching Writ2 the same time
Kane is a boss! He's one of my favorite professors at UCSB. He is a saucy character with dark humor, it made his 8am class more lively. I had him for writ2 and learned quite a lot. His prompts can be a bit confusing, but that's what writing lab is for. Overall he's a great writing professor. I wish I had the chance to take him for theater too!
May be a good teacher for theater classes, but not for taking writing 2. All you will hear are your friends say writing 2 is a stress free class, and it will be, as long as you don't take Kane. Not a good writing 2 teacher in my opinion.
Kane is really funny and sassy and makes the class fun. The writing is a pain in the ass but he makes things pretty clear. Lots of group work too.
Interesting class, gave some great tips regarding writing for other classes/departments in the university. Prompts are hard to understand sometimes, but thats what office hours and an (almost) two hour class period are for. Ask questions, and Kane will make sure you understand the information.
I wish I could take acing with Kane. He's my writing 2 TA now and he's really funny. We don't have the same issue with lateness but he the class is a lot of work. He is good at teaching us how to get to the point of readings quickly and other tips for "work smarter, not harder". Only thing: his prompts are hard. Visit his office hours to get help.
I took class with Kane over the sumer and he was pretty good. the class was harder than I expected and I confess that I didn't always know what he wanted from exercises until after he did them. But I also really enjoyed his class--even if he gave me an A-
Kane was my TA for the Latin Theater class. It is a lecture class so i didn't know we would have to perform at the end but Kane worked with us and I actually enjoyd it. He is a talker but often funny. If he knows you can take it, he'll pick on you. One thing: do the reading. He will sit in silence until someone talks.
Kane is lovely! His sense of humor can be a bit abrasive at times, but it's all in good fun. Don't take him too seriously, just go with the Kane flow and you'll have a great time and receive a great grade. There's very minimal work and if you actually do it (please do), you'll be his favorite.
TAKE THIS CLASS. Kane is awesome. He is hilarious and fun. He is very energetic and really crazy. The quizzes are easy,but he is a bit of a tough grader on the papers. This was by far my favorite class and from what I have heard, Kane is by far the best theater 5 teacher.
All right, here's the deal with his class: Kanes hard on attendance but really funny. He gives quizzes and has you see plays. But most o the time it's a cool class. I met some of my best friends thru Kane.
We luv Kane!!!! He's probably certifiably crazy but he's fun and keeps us on our toes lots. THe plays he makes us see aren't great--but he doesn't get to choose them. He's got a lot of energy And u better not be late!!! I've heard about other THtr 5 teachers--Kane is th best!!!
Kane is quite a character! Definitely kept us on our toes. Overall, a very fun class but don't expect to sail through without a little effort. Just keep an open mind and this class will be a balst!
It's Super-Kane! He did a very cool lecture on superheroes and often added humor to a sometimes dull class--though I'm not sure Professor Kim loved that about him. He is great TA!!
He is my TA for THEA 7 and he is awesome!!! Some people think he's mean but that is his sense of humor and he's actually very helpful and funny. He can be a hard grader but changed my grade when I came to ask for help and he quizzed me on class stuff. I recommend Kane alot.
Kane TAs for my THTR 7: Performance of the Human Body class with Professor Kim. He is great at making us laugh during section and translating some of Kim's statements in class. I saw him at his office hours a few times and he helped me with every assignment.
Favorite teacher so far. Really queer and really fun/funny. You get a lot out of this class. He makes the room a really free and creative environment. Memorize your lines and see the shows (we required to see 4 or 5)
Kane isn't afraid to shake you up. I didn't always get the exercises when he asked us to do them at first but he surprised me with how helpful they were. He knows what he is doing. Keep fun and loose and you'll do well. And be on time.
Very energetic guy, fun although slightly intimidating. Show enthusiasm and memorize your lines and you will do well! Improv games/warm-ups made going to class fun.
Kane is hilarious, if not intimidating at times. Yoga was sometimes painful, but overall, it's fun. Just have fun with the class, do all the readings, MEMORIZE LINES, and you should do fine. DON'T COMPLAIN (he'd rant about the annoying students).
Kane is too much but you learn to love him for it. He has a crazy amount of energy and keeps us laughing. he likes to mess with folks be he always keeps it fun. Take acting with Kane--he knows what he is doing.
Kane has more energy than any teacher I've ever seen. Lot more work in this class than expected. Yoga HURTS. But Kane keeps yelling "Do you love it?!?" and we just have to laugh. Be sure to show up on time as Kane clearly had a childhood trauma involving lateness. Also, READ YOUR PLAYS. He knows. And will humiliate you jokingly.
He has a great future at the University
Kane Anderson is the best theatre teacher I have ever had! He is extremely helpful and really cares about his students. He is very passionate about his job and it was a joy to attend his class!
