Respectful environment with amazing professor. You must work to earn your grade. Interesting and helpful content that helps you push your dramatic limits while learning about the basic elements of performance. Reccomend it.

Another title: All students are strongly advised to take Drama 251* in the Fall term of their second year, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The Honours programme is designed so that a student could work through a particular sequence of courses in one field (acting, directing, technical) which would in effect become an area of specialization. The 499 project in the fourth year would them presumably be centered on this specialization. Students planning to major in Drama and Theatre Arts should confer with the Undergraduate Adviser for the Division before registering.
Laboratory sessions and rehearsal periods may be added to any course at the discretion of the instructor.
Note The normal number of lectures per week in each course is three: however, each instructor determines how often his particular class will meet.
