It's one of the most fun ad easiest classes ever to be taken.
Anna is the best!!!
AMAZING TEACHER!!!!!
love this class and teacher!
I loved her! She was so nice, pretty, and just an awesome teacher! The class was a lot of fun too :)
I LOVED THIS CLASS! Anna is the best! This class is more play than learning and an easy GPA boost. You'll want to come to this class. You watch plays, then discuss in class. You'll be in front of the class but even if you have stage fright, it'll be a blast. I suggest taking it with a friend if you can!
You will learn a lot from her and more importantly a lot from this class. This class will help you mature as an adult, I definitely learned a lot and if I could, I would take this class again with her as the professor. You'll watch plays, discuss them in class, write a few papers, do some acting exercises. Highly recommend taking THEA with Anna.
This is my absolute favorite class and for being an 8AM-- that says a lot. Anna is such a wonderful teacher, she is passionate about acting and teaches with such clarity. I learned so much from this class and am now going to pursue acting. I would definitely take this class with her again. HIGHLY, HIGHLY SUGGEST TAKING IT!
She is hot and smart. very talented I actually love her class I met great people in there I wish she was teaching upper level of theatre I would highly reccomend her.
Anna is amazing. She always has fun stuff for the class to do and she really help bring out everyone's true character. I've never been ina class where absolutely no one dropped. You'll want to go to class and you will always have a blast. A few theatre performances are mandatory, but it's cool because she's in a few of them.
She is your greatest motivator. She brings out the best in all her students.
She is your greatest motivator and brings out the best in all her students.
I love her! She is absolutely amazing! I have never actually taken a theatre class before and i had to complete my last under grad class so i chose this. I learned so much from her class. i think that everyone should be required to take this class. she is fun and very diff from other professors. down to earth.
What you put into to class is what you're going to get out. Anna shows up to class with an excitement level of about 95%-100% every day. Its not like shes on bouncing off the ceiling but if your not participating in class you basically shouldn't show up. Anna makes the class do-able and if everybody participates like our class its a blast to be in.
TAKE HER! she is the best I love this class it broke my heart when it was over. you become close with the others. I had so much fun. some days when I was down in the dumps this class cheered me up show up and participate I guarantee you an A. I wish I can have her again.
Omg take her! Really opened up my eyes to how great the theatre really is! You read a lot of great short plays and see a few too! Anna is really great and really cares about the theatre business and made class fun and really listened and encouraged people's opinions! Even us non theatre majors! This ended up being me favorite class of the semester
Hot teacher who knows her stuff about the theatre she is one of the best professors I hope she never leaves CSULB
ONE WORD: AMAZING!!! SHE IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND PERFECT!
Honestly, Her class is not that hard, but she is extremely rude sometimes, and her sarcasm just comes off as Offensive. Doesn't really follow a schedule so she is kinda all over the place.
Fun Capstone. Teacher is whatever, good lookin but a little annoying at times. the plays were fun, but we had to read them which took a lot of time. There is a group presentation, a couple of essays, so I wouldn't say its super easy.
Anna Steers is a nice, energetic professor, although she does seem to require a lot of busy work. There are several papers to write, midterm, final, group presentation, and 5 plays to attend. Attendance is imperative to a good grade! Take Craig Fleming if you could because he seems to be the easier of the two professors.
She one the most helpful and inspiring teachers on this campus. She is the most trained on the Meisner technique so if you have the opportunity take her. She is always very loving and caring and will to whatever it takes to help her students succeed! She is a must to take!!!
I love this class, it was my favorite this semester. Anna is a great professor with a huge heart. She has so much energy and truly cares for her students, also it doesn't hurt that she's good looking. I felt so comfortable being silly in this class along with my classmates. She's a must take!
loved her class! she really gets you out of your shell and it takes your mind off all the stressful things going on in your life
She teaches Meisner which is a really helpful tool to have as an actor. She is super professional, and class is mandatory. She is really understanding and if you explain to her what is going on in your life she will help you figure stuff out. She is pretty sarcastic at times, but thats just her personality. A rad person. Totally would take again.
JUST TAKE HER CLASS! SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!
Anna is truly a sweetheart! She really cares about her students and loves them. However, please don't confuse the two, her class is not really what you're expecting. You will not be doing a lot acting and theater work. Pretty much all you do is play silly games which I find as a complete waste of time. Again, the teacher is lovely
Super easy A
I really enjoyed this class. Anna is very nice and easy to approach. She seems really passionate about what she is teaching, and she really wants her students to learn about the real world. You only use the book about 2 or 3 times and I don't really think you need to buy it.
Best class I've taken so far at CSULB!!! Anna is the best!! EASY A!
LOVED THIS CLASS! It's a great class to take if you actually want to get to know people. Anna is very nice and never forces anyone to do something they don't want to do. It's a fun class and you'll never be bored with anna, she is always so energetic and with a smile on her face. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!
Amazing teacher..take her!!! I was very shy and she made me feel very comfortable.
The class is easy and straight forward. The professor is very good looking and loves what she does. I would definitely recommend her class to anyone. There are a lot of icebreakers so keep that in mind.
Love this teacher! She is so nice and actually makes an effort to know her students even though it's a big class. Super easy and barely any assignments. You will have to attend plays outside of class, but you can pick different dates. Definitely a fun class!
Very easy class but fun at the same time, never a dull moment. Met a lot of people i consider close friends and would easily take the class again. There are five mandatory plays but can be enjoyable if you go with friends.
Little to no structure. Syllabus does not give a specific schedule. $60 extra to watch plays. Class consists of discussions & group projects. Always ran out of class time. Quiz andor writing assignment after reading each play. Read only 9 plays out of the 12 originally assigned--ran out of time. Read (or watch) the plays, show up and you'll pass.
Super cute professor and she does gives work but they are so easy that you don't even feel like you're doing homework.
Easy A and an extremely fun class. Not to mention she is the most beautiful teacher I have ever had, on the inside and out (!!). Go to class and participate a little.
LOVE LOVE LOVE ANNA!! She is the most kind-hearted professor I have taken. She is the sweetest thing ever and she really cares that her students take important lessons away from the class. You'll want to go to every class because its always fun and exciting. You get out what you put into it.
BEST PROFESSOR EEVVVVEERRR. EASIEST A YOULL EVER GO THROUGH.
Having no acting experience, I was nervous what to expect. However, Theatre 113 became one of my favorite classes. There is never a dull moment. The class is extremely social and I made lots of friends. Anna is the sweetest professor and always makes the class fun! TAKE THIS CLASS :)
I always wanted to take a theater class but never did in high school. I was nervous at first when the semester began, but she makes the class feel really comfortable with each other and it makes it easier to present. It is a fun class, especially some of the exercises. She is a really nice professor, and she makes the class simple and fun.
OMG! She is the best! So fun! Never a dull moment! And is always there for you. You will love her! And for THEA113 there is no way you cannot get an A. Her class is an amazing break from all of your other classes. And even on my worst days her class always cheered me up.
Come to class, participate in whatever games for the day, and do the assignments (whether partner or group) and EASY A! You need to attend 4 plays (which you will have to pay for) and then you will write a reflection essay about them -- no stress tho. Other hw includes reflections on exercises and answering questions from bk. super fun class!
4 mandatory plays so 3-4 easy papers, a few monologues, one music video, and the final is basically just showing up. it's a class final and my class pretended that we were all at a wedding and basically just had a potluck and danced the whole time. she's really nice and genuinely cares for you. take her. she's probably the best teacher on campus
Overall she's very laid back and her class isn't difficult at all. If you are shy, then this class will probably be hard for you since she's makes the class interact and stand in front of your peers a lot. TAKE THIS GE COURSE IF U WANT AN EASY A!!! PS the assignments from the book are opinion based so the book isn't really necessary. EASY CLASS!
Easiest A ever. She's a really sweet person and laid back. Must attend plays. Usually, there is a paper due right after the play. 2 monologues and 2 scenes. Final was to act out a wedding and an in-class writing assignment. Homework was given rarely and its super easy. I definitely recommend her.
Amazing teacher! She is caring, passionate, and inspiring. She is incredibly understanding but she will push you to perform at your best because she knows you can! I don't know about you but whether a class is mandatory or not, I would rather have a teacher like Anna who pushes you to do well. I plan on taking a class with her next semester!
Professor Steers always greets her students with a warm smile and encourages everyone to participate. Makes everyone feel very welcome in class. Do not be disrespectful to her because she takes theater very seriously. Would love to take her class again!
Anna is very dedicated to her craft and extremely driven to help her students reach their potential in her class. She's understanding when it comes to make up work. Never really gives homework. Do what she ask of you and you'll pass with flying colors.
amazing teacher, you can really open up in this class.
Get ready to do some easy work!
Get ready to do some easy work, and don't even think of skipping classes.
Can sometimes be unclear but thats Meisner, great in teaching the baby steps and then the full Monty of repetition and independent activities
I hate public anything however Professor Steers made the environment super welcoming. I got the chance to get out of my comfort zone and I loved every minute of her class.
Anna Steers is an icon. She is an inspirational professor who is passionate about theater and wants all of her students to succeed. She is so sweet and very approachable, her class is easy if you apply yourself and show that you care at least a little bit about theater. You use the textbook multiple times throughout the semester and attend 4 plays.
One of the most genuinely authentic human beings, and an amazing teacher to boot. She forces you to get out of your comfort zone and to leave behind your everyday self to really enter the creative space in a fresh way. Her passion and her drive is contagious, and I would take her again if I could.
Anna is an great human being and an even greater professor! She really gets you out of you comfort zone, but in a good way. If you are looking to expand your friend circle and explore yourself through THEA113, Anna is the professor to take. She is very funny and caring and opens up tot the class so that the class feels comfortable to open up to her
Very easy class. Although it's easy, compared to all the other theater 113 classes this class goes at a much faster pace. There are alot of games she makes you play which forces you to participate.
Personality: - Caring - Energetic - Understanding Class: - Takes attendance from time to time (NOT ALWAYS) - There are readings and homework questions (Gives three days - week and SUBMITTED ONLINE) - Group Works (skits, games, etc) - Need to watch four plays and you need to write a 1-page response paper for each - FUN - Would take again - EASY A
She is such a nice and funny professor. She has us play a lot of fun games and you must participate in order to pass. No quizzes. You have to watch 4 plays and write a 1-page opinionated paper on each. It's really easy. There are a few group projects. The midterm is you perform a monologue you write yourself and the final is a fake wedding.
Such an amazing professor. She really gets you out of your comfort zone and is so sweet. She made the class so much fun that I didn't even want to miss a day. The final at the end of the semester is an improv wedding, which was so much fun. I also made tons of friends in this class. Easy A if you show up and do the homework.
Best proffesor hands down. I was able to get out of my comfort zone and meet many people. I honestly didnt want to miss a day of this class. You have to watch 4 plays and write a summary about your thoughts about the play. Your final is a fake wedding. I would recommend to take Anna Steers to be your THEA113 teacher.
She made the online class a walk in the park. Yes there is a lot of reading but its not difficult to get through. The quizzes are based on the readings, term paper and final paper.
Loved this class. Its not only about reading, its also about your own personal perspective on different plays we read. Typically shell ask a play based question plus make you think about different parts of each play and what their meaning were to you. She made this class easy
Amazing professor! Super easy and she is such a sweet and caring professor! Her class is super fun and its a great chill class. You perform easy and fun skits and many small group activities that are super fun! Definitely take Theater 113 with her!!!
Anna is dedicated to her craft. She gives specific, insightful, and valuable feedback. She is extremely caring and a gem of a professor. The semester is brighter when Anna steers is your professor.
Steers is a fantastic professor. Super easy and chill class. You perform skits and small group activities. It is an easy A if you attend and participate (as with any other theatre class).
She is really nice and super easy. As long as you put in the effort you will get an A. Homework is from the textbook so you need it but it super easy 10 minutes max. Two papers to write but again super easy and easy grader. The midterm is a monologue that if you learn and show a bit of acting you get a 100. A couple of very easy group project.
Great teacher very under standing and nice especially during these times. All she asks is to show up and participate .
Professor Steers is dedicated and amazing at her craft. Through out taking her class we did at least 5 to 4 group acting presentations. Almost every class at the beginning she starts with some sort of class warm up exercise. Wether it be an acting exercise or a small game. Homework is from the book. Overall would recommend if youre into acting!
Anna is such a pure soul. I loved her class and it was just a GE. She is so kind and caring and like others mentioned, beautiful. She went out her way to make the class a safe environment where we could all express ourselves. You only have a 3 big scenes and some textbook work. This class will definitely be one of your favorites due to her aura.
I loved Anna! She's the nicest professor and her class is honestly fun and so easy. It's so easy to be vulnerable with your peers because there's this environment created that's like a safe space. It was a great experience in 113 and made good friends in the class too. Take this class with her, seriously.
This professor is AWESOME! She is the most kind, genuine and lovely person EVER! Everyone should take her class!
I loved Professor Steers. I have no interest in acting but took it for my GE and don't regret it AT ALL. Be ready for lots of group performances which were super easy to ace. She really only cares about your participation than your acting. No tests and only a few writing assignments that can be done in 30 minutes.
A phenomenal professor. She is such a genuine and kind professor with a true love for teaching and theatre. She makes class a safe space for all students.
Take her ONLINE class! Doing the class over zoom was super easy but in-person would def be more time consuming/ harder. Homework is easy, took max 20 mins a week. She's super nice, took this class as a GE and I don't regret it one bit. Lots of group projects, easy grader
TAKE HER!! SHE'S AMAZING! I took her for an Theatre 113 online class and it was my first ever theater class. I was a quiet kid before but taking the class and working with my classmates helped my presentation skills. There's weekly homework on the text book you need to purchase it's around $50. 3 presentations in groups. She's the best theatre prof
Professor Steers is a fantastic professor! She was clear about what she expected from the assignments, and her grading was mainly based on completing the assignments or performances. I would highly recommend taking THEA113 with Professor Steers. She cares about her students and wants everyone to enjoy themselves in her class.
Professor Steers is such a lovely human begin. Her instructions were very clear and her feedback was extremely helpful.
Very fun class. Took it in fall.
Anna Steers is so real! There was so many mishaps in my life while taking her class and she was nothing but supportive. I will say, you have weekly HW but it's so easy and fast. Lots of participation and performances "in class" needed/required. One paper due at the end of the semester but honestly it's a 2 page reflection. TAKE HER!!!
Super fun class! Steers is a great professor, she's super kind, the homework was easy as well, you just have to answer a few questions from the textbook (you can find online or in the library) and it's an easy 5 points. The performances were fun as well, they may seem scary at first but they're super fun and easy, you make a lot of friends :)
She was so sweet and funny I just took this class for a GE but it was fun plus easy
Professor Steers was amazing. Took this class for fun and I enjoyed every moment of it. Each week we do group activities and some week we do group performances and we get to within music for the music video, scene from a tv show/movie. We also had to watch a couple of plays as well. Please take this professor if you can.
She is super nice and funny. All you have to do is show up and you'll get an A. 1 homework assignment a week that takes 15 minutes max. You have to attend 4 plays. Overall, great professor and easy credit.
She is awesome, just take her.
This was one of the best professors I have taken at CSULB. She was so nice and respectful about everything. She was lenient and made class fun. As long as you go to class and participate, there's no chance you don't get an A.
Amazing professor truly! This class was so easy, if you show up and attend the four plays you'll get an A. It brought a lot of people of of their comfort zone in a fun way because we did a lot of acting exercises. Sign up to be an usher to avoid paying for the class pass!
Anna is one of the greatest teachers I've had in my entire schooling experience. She's extremely kind, caring, funny, and treats you as an equal. You learn a lot of great techniques in this class, and she only makes everything better and more fun to grasp.
Anna helped me a lot I was new to theatre but she helped kick off a passion for it. I struggled with depression it affected attendance but when I showed up I worked. I know she cared about my success and wanted more from me. I truly appreciate her throughout my BFA journey. -DM
Never will I forgiveSteers.she loves all her student except me.I could have forgotten all of that but she humiliated me by reading my personal emails in front of the entire class, super violation of student's privacy. Once again it's just me, I'm sure other students who easily buy into her manipulation by flattery and favors, will disagree with me.
Anna is truly a gem. If you participate and show up, you'll not only earn an A, but you'll make some awesome friends, too. Super sweet and understanding, just communicate and she's more than willing to help and be flexible. The more you participate, the more fun you'll have. Easy A with little homework. Overall, an awesome class and professor!
You have to show up to get credits because most of your assignment would be acting out in front of class, so reading and writing would not heavy for this class. Very chill, comfortable, and nice environment! There was four plays that I had to pay to watch throughout the semester, but overall, for me it is worth!
you just have to show up to every class and you're guaranteed an A. steers is very kind and understanding:)
For anyone looking for an A and have a good time, do this class. It's beyond worth it.
Such a fun class. Easy A. Super light on grading preformances and creates a fun atmosphere
