I enjoyed the pace of the class, reading and discussing a play each week, even if I did sometimes feel a little pressed for time to finish a text in time. Class discussions followed a similar format each week: students assigned to characters and would discuss with the rest of class the motivations and experiences of their given character. The topics of the papers were, generally, interesting aside from one that felt blatantly like busy work. Wish class was a little less homogeneous and there were more breaks from discussions prior to the final project presentation at the end of the semester.

Anne is actually the nicest professor that I have ever had. She did tend to take longer to explain directions than was needed, but this might be due to her background as a physics teacher. Anne tried her best to keep class engaging and worked to bring in many guest speakers and other students to ensure that we got as much out of the class as possible.
Professor Goodsell is so sweet and caring. She brings us food everyday since our class is during lunchtime, which is insanely generous. She is very open to everyones ideas and gives a lot of freedom in our essays to chose what we want to focus on.
