Quality 2/5Difficulty 2/5
Gave me a C in the class, even when I implemented his feedback. He was unnecessarily harsh, and passive aggressive toward me. Take with another prof who is less critical if you're a non acting major.

Stephen is a great professor. He is committed to making a safe, funny, respectful environment for actors to learn and grow individually and as a group of peers. Class has few assignments other than participating and acting. He always gives relevant feedback and extra credit opportunities for most major assignments (tests, essays, etc.)
