Only 3 tests, no final. Don't really need to attend class, just memorize the highlighted stuff on the test reviews (the stuff that'll be on the test). Have to watch "out of class" movies and take a quiz. Not unbearable but pretty boring.

She must have changed since the old reviews here. Attendance is mandatory or you get 3 points deducted out of 100 every time you miss (needs iclicker). Book is $300 and hard to find.

I thought this would be an easy A, but she cancels class half the time (i guess this could be a benefit?) but you never know whats going to be on the test because you're never in class. We didn't get our textbooks in until a week before the first test and our first test average was lower than any average in every other first test I've had thus far.

She's amazing. You hardly ever have to do anything for this class.

Quackenbush is the best- she's into what she's teaching and keeps you awake in class. Also cancels class about once a week. Pretty easy course, open note tests, online hw due about twice a month. Uses an iClicker for attendance but if you do the homework and don't suck on the tests, you can make an A and never come to class

Take her. I put in minimal effort and got an A but she's a great prof and is aware that the class is easy. You only have to show up to class for the attendance. You don't have to think about the class until exams. Even when you do, you spend a few hours watching a movie and writing a very short essay and you're done for 3 weeks until the next exam.

she's my absolute favorite professor. she's so shambly and funny, it's worth the mandatory attendance. the amount of extra credit she gives and the free 200 points for just coming to class, you could get C's on every test (which you wont) and still probably make it out with an A. she's the GOAT

Take this class for a super easy creative arts credit! Mrs. Quackenbush is very quacky, but she's also very sweet and wants you to make an A in this class. She will sometimes go off on random tangents during class but she'll always cover what you need to know for the tests eventually. 4 take home exams, 2 essays, and showing up to class is it!

Literally the easiest class I've ever taken. ~1 assignment per week, which will take you at most 30 minutes composed of just a post about the content of the readings for the week. Stay on top of your assignments, and so long as you do them you'll end with an A+ easily.

Love her, one of the easiest classes I have ever taken in my academic career. If you need a creative arts credit I highly recommend. No exams, all pack backs, and 2 projects overall that are super easy.

Professor Quackenbush is a really sweet lady. I took this class online and it was very easy. There was only a weekly packback and three main projects. All of these are very easy, one of the projects is a group project, but also very simple. Super easy, definitely recommend taking this if you need the credit.

Pretty easy online class. If you put in any type of effort you will get an A in the class. No exams, no quizzes, just packbacks and projects that are basically completion grade. Would definitely recommend if you need an easy class for the semester.

This is a very easy course if you need your language, philosophy, and culture credit. Weekly packbacks, two small projects, and a group project. If you just do the bare minimum you will have an A.

Very very easy class! Spent maybe 30min a week on it. If you need this for a lang/phil/culture credit, take this class with this prof. What we did learn was interesting but easy assignments, the end-of-year group project was very easy and made it easy for everyone who did work to get credit.

Easy course to take for your core curriculum. There was one Homework assignment every week, but two overall could be skipped without repercussions. There was also group project that was not fun (especially being online), but it was very easy. Would recommend!

This class is very easy. You do not have to even go to class to do well. There are a few group projects, but they are not hard at all. There is also weekly homework on PackBack, and it is not bad. If you want easy credit, then this class is for you!

This class was extremely easy and required very little effort. There are no tests and no final. All I had to do was a pack back discussion post at the end of each week and a few group projects. Attendance wasn't mandatory and she cancelled class like once a week.

She's literally the best. Her class was an easy elective, but tat the same time I learned about different cultures. There were three projects, with one being group project, but they're doable. If you go to her lectures, she's super cool and funny!

Easiest class I've ever taken. Three backpack discussion posts a week, and an occasional project. Professor Quackenbush is also hilarious and charismatic. Her lectures are usually just her rambling about theatre, but they're still fun to go to. Great course to take to get your creative arts credit.

Professor Quackenbush was hilarious and chill. THE CLASS WAS A BREEZE. 9 out of 10 times it was create a post and responds to two other classmates per week. Thats about all we did this semester. I only went to class the first month and after that I realized I didn't have to go at all. Attendance was not mandatory. I finished with a 107%. Easiest A!

Easiest class I have ever taken. I went to class the first two weeks, and never went back. Finished the class with a 112. Everything is online - one packback per week, and a few projects throughout the semester. No final. Had multiple extra credit opportunities and made the class super easy.

One of the best profs in Texas A&M and she helps students who can miss a couple days of work and gives a reasonable amount of work which can be done all at once. There are 6 packbacks that needed to be done during a week and a couple of group projects.

She is a very fun person and a good professor, but this class was so wildly disorganized. We were given the information for the exercises often the day before they were happening, giving very little time to prepare. We also had to pay $25 for Kritik only to never use it. This class is lots of fun, just please understand that it's very disorganized.

As a Theatre major , she doesn't a lot for her Theatre specific classes.We had to put on a whole show together from scratch. We also did some fun improv games here and there. Very amazing professor , yet disorganized.1000 want to take her again, but for Theatre majors expect her to give you the groundwork for future acting classes.
