Neil was a nice person and clearly passionate about theatre. However, he was so disorganized. We never knew when assignments would be posted, when things were due, or when we had a ticket to go see a certain show. The class is easy, although they take attendance with top hat and you need to be in the room to count. But the assignments are easy.Rate My Professors ↗
If he is ever allowed to teach Script Analysis again, don't take it. Genuinely no idea how to teach students. He gave us so many scripts to read without ever going over them in class afterwards. He doesn't post assignments before deadlines. No respect for time. Promised to post grades for three months. Nice enough, but totally hopeless as a prof.Rate My Professors ↗
They are so nice and amazing and I loved this class! Truly shows how important art is to them and it carried onto the students. Love this class.Rate My Professors ↗
Neil is an awesome professor at UW-Madison. They are super nice to everyone in class, and they are really good at helping you appreciate art. I feel like I've grown a lot as a person in their class.Rate My Professors ↗
