Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
Such a free elective. 1 50 min. lecture a week with a discussion. Attendance for both are a big part of the grade, but if you have half a brain you will pass with an A. Each week you watch either an in person play (5 total) or an online one. During discussion you take a quiz asking easy questions about the play which are straight forward if watched

This professor was really understanding, and there are many extra credit opportunities that give you a lot of points. You'll get an A as long as you do the work.

Super chill professor. His class was a nice way to take a break from more intensive classes and actually be interested/entertained. Many extra credit opportunities and few assignments. He also has a generous grades policy If you don't miss lecture or any assignments for the first two months, you can just stop doing the class and get an A.

Dan is a super nice guy and his lectures are super easy. Although lectures are mandatory, the content is easy to digest and the weekly responses are super easy. This is a very easy A as long as you do the assignments and see the shows.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
This class was super low stress and super easy. Attendance for lecture is mandatory but lecture content is not super important. Biggest portion of your grade is attending/watching performances and submitting reactions and responses to other classmates. Make-up assignments are offered but not always free. Overall, easy class and GPA booster.
