Most Helpful Review
Fall 2023 - Highly recommend this class to anyone interested in entertainment and technology or anyone interested in UCLA REMAP, you don't have to be a theater major to take this class. The course focuses mainly on the three areas of extended reality (XR) technologies, artificial intelligence, and wearables. We had four really interesting sessions with guests, including a guest visit on Zoom (class was not in-person that day). There's usually two to three readings and a play posted per week on Perusall, plus additional readings required for grad students. Comments are required for the readings and optional for the six plays, but there are opportunities to skip commenting on one or two readings if necessary. I wasn't a fan of the AI grading system on Perusall, but you should be fine as long as you complete the reading and comment a few times on each assignment. Plus Professor Burke adjusted the grading sometimes since it wasn't always accurate. There were three main assignments that factored into the final grade: a research presentation about a person or group using emerging technologies (20% for undergrad, 15% for grad), a short story adaptation exercise (15% for undergrad, 10% for grad), and a final project about staging one of the six plays we read with specific technological components (35% for undergrad, 45% for grad). The rest of the grade is based on class participation (10%) and Perusall (20%). I recommend completing the research presentation either Week 3 or Week 6 (not Week 9) since the bulk of the work for the final project was due Week 9.
