EXTREMELY easy class. Like, this is the way to go for a GE
I'm a PhySci major, so this class was definitely out of my comfort zone. I ended up really enjoying a lot of it. The plays we watched and read were very entertaining. It was mostly modern. There is quite a bit of reading, and we posted on a discussion board twice a week. We also had two 3-4 page essays and the final exam was only 40 question, multiple choice and T/F. It took me all of nine minutes to finish. The discussion posts and the essays were graded by the TA. My TA was very lenient on grading. Overall, I enjoyed the class and would recommend it if you're looking to satisfy a GE. I definitely have a new appreciation for theater.
I am selling the course reader if anyone needs it. Text at **********
Nice and easy class. However, it is quite some workload to watch and follow the lectures, readings and quizzes. You could probably end up searching summaries of them though
This class was so easy and enjoyable. It was asynchronous when I took it during the summer
Pros
- Some quizzes get dropped, but most of them are easy
- There's a paper to write, but you can choose from 3 different weeks to turn it in. I chose the 2nd option where I turned in my paper like Week 4 of Summer Session. Super straightforward, not difficult, and you can always reach out for help
- Discussion assignments involved answering the weekly question and then responding to someone else's post, but these were easy
Cons
- Lectures can get kind of dry, and I know they're pre-recorded, but even 2X speed sometimes wasn't cutting it
You literally should be able to get an A in this class really easily. I would be shocked if you didn't.
Selling digital course reader for Theatre 10 Summer Session C that can be accessed online. Text ********** :)
Professor Gorshein is an excellent profressor. He's engaging and you can tell he cares about his students. His passion in theater shows and he is a very conscientious professor, as he is careful about what he says. He explains things in great details and the readings that he gives are also very useful for the class. Definitely do the reading if you want to do well in the class. The plays that he teaches are also not boring either, which I think is great. The plays that he shows has great importance to society and what it says, really interesting. I highly recommend this GE. I've definitely developed an appreciation for theater after this class. I'm also selling the course reader. Message me **********.
I took this class over c sesh and it was actually the easiest class I have taken at UCLA. There is one 200-word discussion post every week and 2 multiple-choice quizzes that are very easy and simple. Overall, would recommend taking it.
Weekly quizzes and one essay with an essentially open topic. If you are interested in any aspects of theater at all the content is interesting and easy to understand. Professor is very engaging and passionate about the subjects.
I took this as a six-week class during C-sesh but wow was it a tremendous amount of work. Each week we were expected to watch 2-3 lectures (about 3 hours long) + watch 2 documentaries (3 hours) and read a number of hefty articles. This material was all covered on the weekly quizzes which were very specific and anxiety-driving. There is a final paper at the end of the six weeks that has a word count and because of that, I feel like there was not enough content to fulfill that word count. Maybe it was because this was a quick class covering 10 weeks of material but I felt that it was so much work. would not want to take another class with this prof.
I really enjoyed taking theater 10 over C-session online. Each week the teacher would post engaging lecture videos, occasionally a reading, and online quizzes to be completed through Canvas. The material was easy to understand and the teacher was very supportive. Easy GE that I would definitely recommend!
