This class is great for those like myself who have never done anything regarding theatre. You learn the basics of every aspect of theatre through minimal readings and fun activities. The professors and TA's were always excited for class which kept the students awake and excited to go to class. Beyond play readings the only real homework we ever had was writing two play reviews for productions put on by the Drama Dept.

This is a very fun class. The only rough part is that it starts at 9:30am and I'm not a morning person. The TAs are very energetic and excited to work with you. You have to be willing to participate and act because your grade is largely participation-based. They are always mixing it up so you won't ever really be bored. Take this class!

great class 10/10. fun and interesting and not like any class you've taken at UVA unless you're a drama major. The teachers and TAs are great and super energetic and make class super super fun. #tcf2016

Great class. Easy A- class. Depends on your TA. 95 is an "A" now so its a little bit harder. Very chill and fun.

Easy class, very fun, Cady is great. Like I said the class is easy, but that being said GO TO CLASS EVERYDAY AND ON TIME. So I got good grades and stuff (94 on the midterm) but I was late to class almost every day and my TA was NOT cool with that, so my participation grade took a hit and I somehow managed to be the only kid getting a C in the class (I'm the 1% you see in the grade distribution for this class). So please, go to class on time, your participation grade will make or break your overall class grade. Otherwise, easy class, 10/10 would recommend.

So I took this class as an easy A and was pretty annoyed to get an A-. The class is very simple and there is little homework but some TAs graded things pretty arbitrarily and harshly. My main issue here was that these weren't conventional assignments like papers or quizzes but "mind maps" and collages.... They also grade you on being at every class on time when you are doing group work, which is the majority of the second half of the semester. All of that combined with the fact that you need a 95 for an A makes this class more of an easy A- than an easy A, as it was in the past and how the courseforum gpa spread reflects. Other than that, I did have fun with our group acting but getting lectured to about the history and styles of theatre is about as boring as it sounds. All in all an ok class but if I had to do it again, I would fulfill my humanities requirement with a different class.

Very easy course. There are a few play readings and a few assignments that you do have to put effort into, but as long as you put in a decent effort you will be fine. Participation is a big part of your grade, so be sure to be active in group work.

Cady and the TAs make this a super fun class, but you do have to put in a good amount of effort into assignments if you want an A. Also, be ready to write a few "journals" which are easy, and one play review which is only 3-5 pages, but a bit difficult. There are a few other unconventional assignments like collages.

Professor Garey is amazing! So approachable, friendly, and energetic. She makes the class a blast, but don't take it for an easy A. The class definitely requires out-of-class work.

Fun class, you'll learn a lot. Just go hard on the assignments and legit don't miss class or you'll be donzo like me my dude.
