I LOVE PROFESSOR HADEN! Despite this class being entirely asynchronous online, she always had extremely productive and kind things to say in her assignment reviews and always kept me motivated to work hard (and she always graded things freakishly fast, like sometimes within hours. Very useful.) Would recommend her to ANYONE.

Professor Haden is the best. Completely virtual/no lecture class but she is always extremely active on Canvas and online to grade everything extremely quick. Nothing more to say: we need more professors like her.

Clare is THE BEST!!! Wanted an easy course for two credits, but ended up learning so many tools that have helped me become a better, more confident speaker. She really cares about her students and always leaves personalized, inspiring feedback. A great course to take even if you're not into theatre. Assignments vary every week and are super fun!!

As long as you show up and do your best on the work, this is an easy, fun class. Clare is bright, funny, and passionate. She cares about her students and is very flexible about all skill levels and interests in theatre. Readings are fairly short, writing assignments are short and informal, and due dates are easily met. Great extra class to take.

Professor Haden is one of the kindest people I have ever come in contact with, she gives great feedback on every assignment and is always there if you need her. The class was super simple and engaging thanks to her!

Clare is the sweetest woman! She truly wants her students to succeed and she will do all she can to help you succeed in her class. I have no interest in theatre but the content in this course is applicable to other ares of life. Easy A and felt like less than 2 credits worth of work.

Such a great class! definitely take it with her if you can. I learned so much

We had to do two monologues for 240. We also did many physical and vocal activities. Clare does a great job at making everyone feel comfortable and included while at the same time pushing them to grow and experiment and try new things. She is also really good a balancing a class between theater and non-theater majors. She is very caring/helpful

Clare made me feel very comfortable in this class despite my limited background in theatre and public speaking. She was constantly challenging us to grow and learn more and gave excellent individual feedback. We also did a lot of movement, yoga, and meditation in addition to vocal work. I'm still using things she taught me 1.5 years later!

Clare is an absolutely amazing teacher. Her teaching method is beyond fantastic, and what she teaches is applicable to outside the realm of theatre. She really puts a lot of effort into her craft, personalizing the major assignments towards both pushing boundaries and helping us shine in our roles. This class was easily the best class I've taken.

She is so great! I learned a lot!

Clare is so great. Even I am not major in theater, her lectures inspired me to take more theater classes. I had so much fun and learned a lot. She is helpful. She is amazing!

She is amazing. If she is an option as a professor, always pick her. She is very helpful, engaging, and caring. Loved every second of the class.

If anyone is looking for any fun course and don't know what course to take, take this. You won't regret I promise. Instead, you will thank me. Amazing professor! You'll crave for every class to come and you won't want to miss any class because it's so much fun and learning experience. Work in the class: Have fun in the class! I am not kidding!

Clare is an amazing teacher; by far one of my favorites during my college career. Her enthusiasm is awesome. Taking her class is fun and also connects to how you can use your breath, voice, body, and mind altogether!

Clare is so fun! She truly wants to help all students succeed. She is very enthusiastic about theatre and teaching, which is great!

Clare makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome. This class was an early morning class, but it was a great start to my day. Clare is very friendly and helpful. Anyone can benefit from her voice training classes, not just an actor or theatre and drama major. Highly recommend.

Clare is so awesome! She's talented, and always enthusiastic about theater, especially teaching. She's great about helping students individually and is honestly one of the nicest people I've ever met. The class is fairly easy, and a lot of it is physical participation (stretching, etc.). Papers and performances are helpful and easy.

Clare is one of the most amazing teachers to ever come through this department. She actually makes learning enjoyable and you want to come to class everyday. She really encourages students to focus in on what is going on in the class and believe me, you will DEFINITELY benefit.
