Comment:
Joyce nearly killed my life-long enthusiasm for theatre. I'm serious, I never wanted to take another class in the dept. Fortunately I decided it would be a shame to let one bad prof ruin my passion. In my honest opinion she was the worst prof in the theatre dept. I'm glad she is no longer teaching. All the other theatre profs @ MHC are great!

I don't mind Joyce. I think there are better professors in the department, but I liked the class. She does focus on Suzuki, too, so that's cool.

Comment:
This CREATURE has RUINED my gpa. She is the biggest jerk on campus. If you aren't majoring in theater, she HATES YOU! Also, she plays favorites like crazy, as everyone else has said. She thinks she is god but seriously, she just needs to get a bra and act her age for once. I can't stand her and I am never taking theater again. So much for trying ne

Comment:
Plays favorites like no other, and if you're not one of the favorites - watch out. Does not trust students. The focus on Suzuki was good, but much of the rest of the class left me wanting more. I don't think it did anything to help my acting and if anything it discouraged me from taking another class in the department. In short - not a fan of JDev.

I have no problems with Joyce, but regarding the curriculum I really don't feel that taking her class has helped me improve as an actor. It was fun, though!

Joyce has so much energy, and, though she can seem harsh at times, she is an easy grader if you participate fully. She's the livliest senior i've ever met!

Comment:
She would be a good teacher except she thinks her way is the best. While telling you to "let your impulses through" (for 'cold reading'), she'll tell you what your impulses are. In Performance I have learned little about actual acting -- only about improv, which won't be worth much after the class.

She is a good professor in that she has a lot of information. Her style isn't the best. She thinks very highly of herself and her own opinions, and doesn't like to be challenged with different thoughts. She plays favorites more than most at MHC

joyce devlin is one of the top five profs at mhc. she is so passionate and she has a brillant mind. if you slack off she won't tolerate it, which i think is awesome, because it pushes you to work to a new personal potential.

She thinks she is a Goddess practically. I'm sure she is knowledgable but she is very judgmental and can be cruel. Definately has favorites (suck ups) and treats non-favs poorly. Don't recommend her as director.
