This class was asynchronous, but it is an extremely amazing GE to take and the workload is very manageable. There were two lecture modules per week with an associated 10 question quiz which was pretty simple if you listened to the lecture and did the readings. Additionally, you had to write a short 200 wordish discussion post each week and reply to another student as well. One lowest score in each category was dropped. There was also one term paper regarding a theater topic, but we were allowed to choose our own deadline, which was great and the paper was graded very fairly. Overall, I really recommend taking this class as a GE.

Super easy GE, just 2 easy quizzes and a discussion board a week, plus one essay on whatever play/musical you’d like. Really doable.

Professor Gorshein is a wonderful professor, very concerned with student understanding, very clear with expectations, and very approachable. The only downside is that his lectures for this class were a little all over the place, but it did not make a huge difference. He somehow manages to conduct questions in a lecture hall, and encourage student participation. I was able to approach him before class with questions about tests, and tell him about lectures I would miss and how to make them up, and he was very understanding. Very good class, if the lecture was long sometimes.

If anyone needs August: Osage County by Tracy Letts for Theater 10 (David Gorshein), let me know. I'm selling the book for cheap(it's like new and in perfect condition). Please email me if interested: S*************

Professor Gorshein is an awesome Professor. He's passionate, kind, intelligent and inspiring. I actually took his Intro Theatre course ONLINE. But it was amazing. I heard great things about his lectures, and this definitely translated to the small screen. I hope though, we don't end up in a day and age where professors are not teaching in person though.

Definitely seek his courses out and take one. It will be an awesome experience at UCLA!

I took this class as a GE. The only thing I can say it changed in my understanding was: (1) a lot of people work to put on a play, (2) facts, from all ranges of theater are stuck in my head, ready to decay away. Professor Gorshein was very helpful via email; my TA, not so much. This is a reasonable class to take online over the summer, and I would recommend it if you want more time during the regular quarters.

This was a really fun GE to take over summer. The TAs were fun as was the professor. It consisted of two or three 40 minute lectures per week and about 3 screenings total, each around 1:30. Honestly, most people could probably bypass this if you do the reading and vice versa. The fact that it is all online is very helpful.

As a science major and took this class for GE requirement, I found it not easy as people said. However, if you spend enough time to read the textbook and do all the assignments to keep up with the class, you will be fine. I had no previous knowledge of theater and my interest was not so high as well. But after I finished the class, I have a great appreciation for theater and I really think theater 10 was a great experience at UCLA.
