The best aspects of this course were the in-class performances by each student and the useful feedback. The worst aspect of this course was the long meetings, with more lecturing than hands-on activity. The course would improve if there was more in class interaction. Students would also have liked to do more experimenting and acting. Prospective students should know that is a class that will teach acting and other applicable skills. However, this course is more academic than acting-based.
