  • This course was quite chill, we had a group presentation, 3 super easy quizzes, and one final scene or monologue. My only complaint is that the classes were very disorganized and rushed, since there was so much that the prof wanted to cover. The schedule was always changing, and rubrics were a bit unclear. The prof is very forgiving so if you miss stuff it she will allow you to resubmit or extend deadlines. You don't need any theatre experience to do well in this class.
