Get ready to read! Rick is a great professor in the sense that he will certainly offer help outside of his class and you will learn a lot. That being said, you must prepare yourself for a lecture format. Some students simply cannot handle a lecture, but if you can figure it out (and if you're planning on being a major, you must) you'll be golden.

Rick is my favorite professor. I've had three classes with him, and each of them were my favorite for that semester. The topics he brings up are engaging and relevant to studying theatre. Many say theatre history is the toughest class in theatre, but with hard work and persistence, you're guaranteed to succeed and he's always willing to help.

Rick is an amazing person to know. He is a great teacher. Sometimes he can ramble on with his stories but they usually have a point. He has an overwhelming wealth of knowledge to share with his students and he is always enthusiastic about doing so. So ready for my next class with him!

You read a lot of plays but they are really interesting and the class discussions really get you into it. Going to the plays make everything come to life. The hardest part is writing the analysis papers over the plays, but the better you understand them, the easier it will be. There are always quizzes over the plays, so read! Really listen to him.

Theatre history is like the hardest thing ever. But Rick makes it hard so you have to try... and read the plays. Anyone who doesn't like him must be a zombie.

Great teacher! Your book will be your bible in this class. --buy txtbook early, b/c there aren't a lot at the used bookstores. Attendance and puncuality is VERY important. Quizzes are set up where you have to go to class to get some answers, and read play to get others. -just show up, do ur work & u'll pass no prob. ...Also, FYI he is v. sarcastic

He's pretty funny. The class is pretty easy. Wasn't really interested in the course, but it wasn't horrible. If I had to choose I would've taken a different fine arts, but he is very nice and says the most random things. I would definitely recommend him if your planning on taking this course

this class was a lot harder than i thought it would be. have to go watch 3 plays that isnt too bad and he is pretty easy on grading them, but the tests are hard he gives you a little review but it hasnt helped me to much. i would say take something else to fill your fine arts credit

I kind of like theatre, but wasnt too happy with this class. Must write 2 papers and watch like 4 plays- long plays. NOt really nice because I was late once becuase it was raining and I was on crutches and he would not let me finish my quiz.
