Karen is easily the best professor I have had all semester. I was worried about taking an asynchronous acting class, but I actually learned a lot. Not to mention, Karen reached out and made an effort to connect with every student in the class.

Lets be honest. I took this class because I thought it would be easy. Who wants to actually work for a grade in an Arts class? These classes exist to give us business students a break from doing actual work. Anyway she made it too hard and Im over it.

Hope you enjoy reading because that's most of the class. The quizzes take up the entire hour she gives you, with some feeling like you need more time. Look at the chapter objectives before reading to get an idea what may be on the quiz. She is extremely harsh when she grades the group project. She expects things on there you won't know she wants.

Her quizzes will take the full hour if you want to do well. In fact all of the assignments take a little bit of time to complete. However she is more than understanding on everything and always willing to help. She grades generously and it is easy to do well as long as you actually try

I had Karen for a CTH101 class and she gave us A LOT of homework and tests but ultimately if you take them together with your group they are fairly easy, plus she is a nice person and will answer any questions you have or help you gladly if you give her time!

She takes a 101 class to a whole new level. She grades VERY hard, and expects a LOT from everybody. I stressed over this class way more than I should have. Her quizzes are impossible to get A's on.

Karen is wonderful. This class was one of the hardest I have ever taken, but was because that I am a theatre major and an actor so I really care about what I'm learning. The assignments are long and difficult, but are relevant. READ THE ASSIGNED READING. The final exam is a performance and a 10-12 hour (!!!) exam on the reading.

Loved this class. Karen is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable professor who is also very helpful. Her scene assignments may seem challenging, but to get better at anything... it takes practice. Putting in some thoughtful work will go a long way. She's a little crazy in her own way, but very fun to work with. I enjoyed every class. Recommended.

If I were actually an aspiring actor, this class might have been easier for me, but my inability to memorize easily hurt me a bit. However, Karen was awesome! She helped me as much as she could, and she really knows the material. She is an excellent prof!

I really enjoyed this class. The assignments were all very valuable and she was awesome to you if you visited her in her office, lots of info. Make sure you go to all classes though, and if possible take notes once in a while cause it makes the final exam A LOT easier!
