Easy A but annoying and boring. a lot of tedious- 3 plays which you have to read and then go see them in person. multiple assignments for each play along with 2 tests. Go to class and you won't even have to read/see the plays cause she discusses them with you. horrible lectures that make you want to fall asleep. takes attendance every day.

Boring class, very easy if you put just some effort. Teacher is boring, changes due dates, pretty unclear about assignments and where class meets but the assignments are doable. you have to read a couple plays which i found online so no textbook. exams are easy & you get a study guide. This class & teacher are more annoying but not difficult at all

Comment:

She literally had the most monotone boring voice, class is almost painful to go to. It's full of obscure assignments with no real grading scale that took insane amounts of time to finish. That being said, exams are easy if you sit through the class and take notes. She would tear apart my assignments in the comment section and then give me a B+

One of the worst professors I have ever had. She doesn't explain anything, and halfway through the semester she stopped letting us turn homework in on Sakai, but didn't notify any of us of the change. Had to find out by not having a hard copy ready for class. Lectures are so boring and the homework is ridiculously tedious. DO NOT TAKE!

She's super nice and approachable if you need help. I had her for Intro to Costuming (B+) and Fundamentals of Costume Crafts (A-). You have to be there for class but they're fun if you're really into theatre. Crafts was a practical class so you had to show up to pass but the class was small so we got the attention we needed. I highly recommend her.

I had her for Intro to Costuming (B+) and Fundamental of Costume Crafts (A-). As long as you show up and participate, you should be able to get a good grade. Classes like Intro to Costuming has exams but they're easy if you read the plays and take notes on the costuming information. Totally helpful if you ask for it; very approachable.

the most boring class I've ever taken. It fulfilled my breadth requirement but it wasn't worth it. She grades in plus signs and check marks so your grade at the end of the semester is totally random. projects take 6 hours and aren't even worth real points. seriously avoid.

This class was extremely boring. Took it for an easy elective, and got a good grade but worked hard for it. A lot of assignments and a lot of busy, unnecessary work that isnt hard but takes a long time. Test are easy and the project is too. No final. Her voice is so monotone, I fell asleep in almost every class. Takes attendance.

Comment:

Took this as an art requirement. Only met once a week for 2.5 hours. She is really helpful (especially since I had no prior experience) Don't worry about not finishing projects she gives extra days to come in at end of semester. Pretty nice but could be forgetful in telling you what to do so make sure to ask to clarify before doing a project!

This class should be called "Intro to want to drop out of college." it is extremely time consuming. she expects you to be a theater expert and does not explain anything at all. i took this class for an easy A but was definately mistaken.

The most boring teacher i have ever had. Slides are extremely boring and pointless. Attendance is mandatory. Gives study guide for exams but that only cover 30% of what's really on the exam. Projects are extremely dumb and time consuming. Took this for an easy A... Big Mistake. STAY AWAY take a different theater class!!

Comment:

Class isn't hard, just VERY time consuming. Lots of projects of plays covered in class, and waiting to do projects until the night before is NOT a good idea, but overall it's pretty impossible to get below a B. She isn't overly friendly, but she's a very easy grader.

This class is easy if you have sewing, draping, and pattern making experience. If you don't have experience, she will teach it to you, and then it's still moderately easy. She is a easy going teacher, and it's a relaxed environment. It's a fun class, and you have some room to be creative. I got an A

Absolutely the WORST class i have ever taken! This is an "intro" class but the work required is advanced. You have to read plays &costume characters PERFECTLY according to the time period, including the right colors & fabrics- 1 of the projects was 20 pgs long! RIDICULOUS! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Very interesting class, read good plays and as long as you put an effort into projects you'll be fine. Grade based on how everyone else does.
