Only homework was read the plays and take an easy 10 question quiz, usually once a week or so. One midterm and the final, which were multiple choice/true-false/matching. Basically show up and pass. Also have to attend 2 or 3 plays at Playmakers. We got out of class 15ish minutes early every day.

She is being very disrespected by a lot of these ratings. She is an easy teacher and her class is not too hard. There's a lot of reading, but you can Google a summary and ace every test. The lectures can be dry but this class opened my eyes up to theater. I loved watching the plays and would have never had watch them if this class wasn't a GenEd

Aubrey's class was life changing! She challenged me on the daily and made me into a better drama student. I owe her so much for keeping us motivated mid-pandemic! If you take this class, you won't regret it. Get ready to learn.

If you want to be a thespian, take a class with this woman!

Professor Snowden rocks! I think she gets really put down by ratings because a lot of people taking the class arent there because they want to learn about theatre. The class is some readings about plays and if thats not your thing you wont enjoy it so dont take it out on the professor if you arent interested in the class.

easy A. a really good professor if youre interested in theatre.

She is a great prof! Loved her

Please dont be discouraged by the bad ratings on here! Aubrey started teaching only a couple of years ago because shes been working as an incredible and accomplished director- you will learn so much from her!! And shes gotten a much better grip on the teaching part- take her class! I LOVED IT

Prof Snowden was great! She assigns lots of plays to read but almost all of them have a litcharts page that tells you everything you need to know without having to read the whole thing. Quizzes and tests are pretty easy and often have repeat questions. The group project was kind of annoying because we couldn't pick our groups, but still not hard!

Not sure why there are so many negative ratings? Snowden made this class so easy and picked interesting plays to read + watch. She's always super positive and excited to hear students' opinions/thoughts. She cares about what she teaches which makes the course fun. Readings/assignments can easily be done using SparkNotes and tests were easy!

I loved professor Snowden! Don't listen to the bad reviews, she was a fun lecturer and made class fun. You had to read one play every week and most were enjoyable. They could also be easily spark noted if needed. There were a few papers that weren't graded harshly. Overall loved the class and it was a pretty easy A.

TAKE THIS CLASS! I am not sure how people don't get A's. Snowden makes the class easy, grades papers extremely easy, and gives out extra credit. I have gotten a 100 on every paper and put no more than 2 hours into each one. If you do the work, you will get an A (it's as simple as that). So so easy I cannot recommend this class enough.

Take this class for the VP credit. Your only homework is to read a play once a week and there were 2 papers which had clear expectations and were graded very easily. She gives a bit of extra credit. The final and midterm were both taken online.

I don't understand why all these ratings are negative. Throughout the entire class, I did not see her give attitude or be mean to any students. She encouraged students to participate but rarely called on someone who didn't have their hand raised. She is an easy grader and I would definitely take this class again for VP credit.

I took this course online and it was a breeze! I didn't have much contact with Professor Snowden, but from what I saw she's not terrible. The class was pretty easy, there was a weekly poll question, plays to read, writing assignments, and quizzes. I probably read like half the plays, watched the recorded lectures, and still secured an A.

Professor Snowden was a little unorganized/unclear sometimes, but overall this was a super easy and interesting gen ed course!

This class is an easy A, but since it's drama the work is annoying. There's a weekly quiz that's easy if you read the play. There's a textbook, but you don't have to read it. The midterm and final are online and easy. There are 2 papers based on plays you have to see, but it's not hard. There's extra credit and she takes attendance once a week.

Play analysis is so easy if you pay attention in class anyone on here complaining that this class was awful most likely didn't. Prof is unorganized at times but she's incredibly understanding. Just talk to her after class if ur having a hard time with HW. It's a good amount of reading but one activity a week and open note/book final and midterm.

This class is easy but you have to put in effort to get an A. Lots of readings but are easy to read and interesting most of the time. Midterm/final are online and simple if you read the play's and go to class. She is actually very kind and understanding just talk to her about whatever you are struggling with. I learned a lot!

Honestly this was a really easy gen ed. you will do really well in the class if you simply take notes (which she always posts the slides so you can look back) the TAs also graded leniently. All the midterm & final questions (online exams from home) came straight from the notes. You do have to attend 3 plays in person and read a bunch, but it's easy

Dr. Snowden is a great professor! The plays we watched were good, but the lectures are boring. Aubrey is somewhat snarky at times when she's had coffee, but the class is easy, and great for busy STEM majors who need easy Gen-eds for GPA inflation. The main things that contribute to your grade are two papers, quizzes, a midterm, and a final.

This was a good gen-ed. You will do well if you take notes from her PowerPoints. There are weekly quizzes that are not hard if you read the plays. Midterm and final were multiple choice and there were two papers that were very doable. You have to attend around three performances at Playmakers. She rarely kept us for more than 30 minutes.

She cares about what she teaches and makes it fun. She knows people take it for credit and offers clear grading criteria, I got 100s on both papers by following it. Open note online midterm and final. You do have to see 3 performances but not bad. Weekly quizzes but only 8-10 questions. Would recommend for VP credit!

Definitely recommend Prof. Snowden! She taught the material in a fun way and quizzes/exams were never too hard at all. She sometimes speeds through class PowerPoints, but always posts them afterwards incase you couldn't take note of everything during class.

Fairly easy course, lectures also tended to end much earlier than the scheduled end of class. 2 short papers but they weren't very difficult.

This class is actually so easy. You have to see 2-3 in person plays over the semester but they are not bad, and you have to write like a two page paper for them also which is not bad either. Her TA sometimes grade tough but other than that its easy and she offers extra credit throughout the semester

If you need an easy-ish class to complement your schedule, TAKE THIS CLASS. It's not difficult. You have to write 2 2-3 page papers and weekly quizzes, but it's not hard. The quizzes + midterm + final are online and you can take them at home.

TAKE THIS FOR GEN ED REQ. Super easy, I didn't always read the plays & got by. Takes pollev attendance randomly so you have to pay attention for that. 2 papers (very easy). Midterm & final were online & super easy. Take this class for an easy A. Some plays are super fun to watch, some aren't personal pref.

The goat.

I have had Aubrey for DRAM116 and DRAM300. She is extremely passionate about what she does and you can tell in her lectures, assignment choices, etc. Snowden definitely is a "tough love" kind of person and can be dry or perceived as rude at times, but she really does care. As long as you pay attention and do the work, you'll be fine.

She is an awesome professor! I came into this class with no prior theater experience, but thoroughly enjoyed this class and learning about documentary theater. Take this class if you can!

She's a great professor, but beware, doesn't care about your emails. She grades based mostly on completion, so try somewhat in class, but no need to go overboard. Be there, or you won't pass, even if you're sick, frankly she doesn't really care that much unless you're dying, take a dayquil. I loved this class though, would take it again.

SO EASY! I actually do not think anyone got less than an A. Be prepared though, you CANNOT skip class or she will take -5 off your final grade. Also many times you don't know what you're supposed to be doing (I played Google Snake for like 90% of class) but she'll give you a 100% anyway. You have to see and read a few plays but nothing hard

clearly very passionate about the material, which is kind of sad in a class where most students seem to not really care. participation/talking to her before/after class goes a long way. there were some mix-ups with the grading/TAs this year, but she fixed it after I asked abt it. u have to see 2 plays outside of class, but student tickets are cheap

Easiest class I have ever taken at UNC. Barely had any homework, just a weekly quiz about a reading, a couple papers, but the grading is super chill. There is the occasional participation grade, but she usually announces when they will be, just show up for that day. Snowden is very chill, I recommend this class.

she was fine and i got a decent grade but if u miss one participation assignment ur grade will tank significantly

This class is extremely easy, but also enjoyable. Super light workload, tons of athletes. Simple reading quizzes every week, no need to read in depth (ctrl F will do the job if needed), one paper, multiple choice online final exam, have to go see 3 plays but they are usually really good and fun to watch, it's easy to not miss attendance days.

Snowden is so fun and very passionate about drama! The class has a give or take 1 play a week to read, but they are short. There are a few group assignments to be present for, otherwise attendance is optional. You have to attend 2 plays and write only a few papers, otherwise the class is laid back and an easy pass as long as you keep up with notes.

Don't listen to these other reviews…people are just lazy. Do the work, you'll get an A. Snowden clearly marks when you need to come to class on the syllabus which is nice. You have to see a few plays at Playmakers. She clearly cares a lot about the course material and is easily reachable after class/by email.

This class is a breeze if you put in some effort. Attendance is mandatory, but the workload is light - just weekly reading quizzes and a few papers. Unstuck study was super helpful for prepping for the exams. Overall, an easy A.
