Michole Biancosino

I enjoyed this course lots being interested in theatre and sci-fi! Station Eleven the book and show was very good and it was fun to discuss in an academic environment. I like that the course material opened me up to plays outside my comfort zone, things that I would not normally read. This course is discussion heavy and everyone is expected to contribute to the discussion, but I feel like you're good as long as you read the material. For midterm and finals you're expected to perform a scene- but other creative works such as costume/stage design is also accepted, or an essay. Michole is chill and pretty fun and it's clear that she loves the title work very much and is enthusiastic about her course topic, I would love to take her class again.

I was looking for a class to take and this class just so happen to fit into my schedule while also filling out some of my distribution requirements. The class involves a lot of reading play and sometimes it feels like you don't have the time to read all of the material in time. I myself didn't read a vast majority of the plays, and I still got through the class and participated. It's not a hard class at all, it just takes a lot of time reading.

Classes had a somewhat loose structure, where Michole would often have a powerpoint that had some information, but the bulk of the class was spent answering questions and having discussions surrounding the reading. The reading was a lot, and there were times when I just could not get all of it read before class and complete all of the work for my other classes. There are periods when the reading is relatively light and periods where the amount of reading was just too much. To succeed in the class you should do most or at least some of the readings, and review summaries or other basic information about the parts you didn't. You will have to talk at some point in the class, so it's better to volunteer answers or opinions at the parts you are most familiar with. There is one major project and two exams- a midterm and a final. The projects are presented throughout the second half of the semester. Exam grading was incredibly harsh, and one of the only parts about the class that I strongly disliked. Grading was pretty fair otherwise.
