Even though I worked a lot, I was still able to complete my work and she graded me very nicely, shes very understanding and her homework is simple and very reasonable . she makes sure she puts grades in as soon as possible and she also gives us extra credit which I love.
The work was not hard at all, the only think is that she does not accept any late work.
Very good option for theatre appreciation!
Great professor! she answered emails right away and helped me with ease. Very understanding. Fun and interesting class as well!
The professor was great as they had a fun and engaging course that was easily understood. The discussion boards were exciting and interesting. This professor had great PowerPoints that clearly defined what we needed to know for upcoming tests and quizzes.
Understanding teacher and the work is not difficult. Weekly discussion boards and quizzes. Quizzes are based on the readings and presentations.
The class was a pleasure to take and I really enjoyed learning more about theater. The professor was easy to work with and I would definitely take one of her classes again.
Dr. Stein provided PowerPoints with everything you need to pass the quizzes. She also provided YouTube clips to help students gain a better understanding of the material. For the end of course paper, she offers to proof-read before submitting, which was appreciated. Extra credit is offered. She is very responsive to emails as well.
This was a fast paced class during the winter term but absolutely manageable as content is divided up appropriately. Even though professor got sick, she still responded to questions and posted grades quickly. Approachable and supportive. I liked that almost all content was opened up from the start of the course so I could work ahead on my own pace.
Professor Stein, is very easy to communicate with and she responds to your emails quickly! She also gives you feedback on discussion boards,I never had a professor to do that before. Thanks this was a wonderful class.
Ms. Promin-Stein is very easy going as long as you do your work and stay on top of assignments. She is also very relatable, she will comment on your assignments and discuss the things you did well and wrong. She is also the first teacher I have had at Cpcc, that gives extra credit! Which will be a great boost for my grade.
Honestly, the class was super easy and fun. I did have fun learning everything although the last few weeks were not the best due to personal reasons.
This class was awesome overall. I loved learning everything in that class and the work was pretty easy and chill. Dr. Promin-Stein was amazing overall. She would comment on the your discussion and was really helpful and understanding.
Professor Promin-Stein was a great professor. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this class, but the material she used for assignments made the class really interesting. I took her class in a short semester and the workload was very easy to keep up with. If you're looking for an art credit I would definitely recommend taking her class!
Dr. Stein was an exceptional theatre appreciation instructor. Her engaging teaching style effectively conveyed material through lectures, discussions, and multimedia presentations. Her contextualization of plays within historical and cultural contexts enhanced understanding of themes and motifs.
Dr Stein excelled as a theatre appreciation instructor with her engaging teaching style that effectively conveyed material through lectures, discussions, and multimedia presentations. She stood out in contextualizing plays within historical and cultural contexts, enhancing understanding of themes and motifs.
Dr Promin-Stein was a great instructor for theatre appreciation. She provided ample resources for each assignment and each lecture presentation was very interesting. The play critique assignment was fun as I got to experience a play in-person and write my thoughts on their performance.
Professor Promin-Stein was a very good professor. I took her online theatre appreciation class and it was a very interesting class with a steady and clear workload. She was also so nice as a professor!
Professor Promin-Stein was a very good professor. I took her online theatre appreciation class and it was a very interesting class that I enjoyed taking. I also appreciated the workload being clear and manageable. Good class!
This online course is really good, I am still currently in the class. The time gaps between every assignment is very helpful especially if you're already taking other classes at CPCC. Overall, she's a great professor. I would say to study and make sure you covered all the material before taking the quizzes in the course due to the 1 attempt!
Great Professor! She provided clear and simple instructions to all assignments assuring success. I would definitely recommend this course to a friend!
I enjoyed taking my drama class with this professor, if I get the opportunity to take another course with her, I most certainly will.
Dr. Stein was a good professor. I learned a lot this semester. However, she is not lenient or understanding about missing assignments. There is many extra credit opportunities available.
Dr. Promin-Stein was an outstanding instructor. I thoroughly relished taking her online theatre appreciation course, which I found very interesting. I also appreciated how plain and manageable the workload was. Excellent Class!
As a short online course, I didn't felt pressure at all. It was an easy online class which I would highly recommend any student to take. Easy attendance, interesting lectures for students to read. Most assignments were due every weekend. I didn't really needed questions to be answered by the professor but Dr.Stein was always available.
The tests in this class were not difficult nor stress inducing, which is really nice when taking a lot of credits. This professor is great when it comes to grading, as I feel like I get a fair grade for my discussion boards, which are a majority of the homework with a couple of exceptions of written assignments. Overall, great professor!
This is a wonderful professor, who grades very fairly! The content is quite fun and educational, and I highly recommend her! Quite a fun experience, and not a lot of things graded, so not a lot of work! Nice and easy yet educational class.
This professor made their wants clear, and made the homework and learning materials very easy to access! I had no troubles finding the things required, and they were kind enough to provide extra credit! I really appreciated this professor, and had no trouble getting in contact with them or with the course layout itself.
She has a very flexible teaching style! Taking her class online for me helped me engage at an efficient pace and I enjoyed everything I was learning. She encouraged class discussions and participated in them as well. She makes learning in her class very easy and enjoyable.
Dr. Stein is the best! I was looking for classes to take so I chose Drama Appreiciation, I thought it was going to be boring with lectures and long documentary, but it was quite the opposite! She cares about her students and when a new week starts she has a video about the topic. I highly recommened everyone take her class.
This class was so fun and thats because Dr. Stein made it.. I learned alot of new things about Drama and I didnt feel as though it's just another homework I have to do. I looked forward logging into brightspace just to access her course. I high recommend her if someone is taking an online course because she doesnt make you feel alone.
Professor Christine Promin-stein is one of my favorite professors because she made her class so easy by clearly clarifying her instructions and will remind you that you have an assignment due before the due date.
Professor was very professional and clear on her class every week. she respond to email on a time manner and is very helpful.
Professor is very professional and clear on her class. every assignment was understandable. she is very helpful
This class requires to watch a lot of videos and they are usually pretty long but as long as you watch them and do the work is an easy A.
as long as you do the work is an easy A
Very fun class! Lots of fun, clear and interesting discussion posts. This class will be easy to pass with a high grade as long as you do the discussion posts with participation, some light reading. Definitely worth it to take this class, you couldn't ask for a better professor.
One of my favorite courses I've taken at CPCC. The professor is really great and offers easy/ interesting assignments. Take this course
Super easy class as long as you manage your time well and do the assignments. Professor is very understanding and will give extra time for assignments if certain circumstances arise. Would 100% take this class again!
She was always very prompt and fair with her grading, it never took more then a few days to get a grade for an assignment and quizzes auto-grade. There was only 1-2 assignments in a week, and they were never very difficult. Lots of discussion posts but the grading criteria was always clear and she always gives feedback. Overall a very fun class!
She was always quick to grade assignments it never took more than a few days to get a grade, and she gave good feedback. Not a lot of assignments and they're all easy. Lots of discussion posts but the grading criteria was clear. Overall a very fun class!
Class very straightforward and assignment are easy to access. I had no problems the last whole course.
overall great professor!
Took this course in 8-week format. It was a fast paced class but it was doable. The only negative thing I have to say is that I missed a quiz by a day and was not allowed to make up for any sort of credit because I didn't have an excused absence. But then again it is my fault for missing it.
Great Professor, She gives good feedback on discussion posts and is very clear in instructions for each assignment. She also respond quickly back to emails.
Good professor! I really enjoy this short course with this professor. Professor provide very helpful feedbacks.
She was alright nothing great, the course was easy. Power points were very helpful. I did an 8-week and it was a lot of discussions making you watch videos then stating your opinions. Do a little extra in the discussion section because the bare minimum will not get you a 100. Only had to read Hamlet and Oedipus.
Great professor! Didn't really give feedback on discussion posts but gave clear instructions! Would definitely take it again!
Great professor! Would recommend taking it!
This professor is great, she is very passionate about what she teaches. Very few assignments, so make sure you complete them all and do great on them. Two extra credit assignments are given. Amazing!
I really enjoyed this class. It was informative and interesting. I recommend that you take this class even if you don't like theater because it is a fun class.
I really enjoyed this class because it was fun to learn about the different types of theatre.
Mrs. Christine Promin-Stein was an amazing teacher who helped me gain my interest for theatre. Every time I emailed her she would respond quickly with lots of help. She had fun but very effectual assignments that helped me enjoy taking the course.
I took her two month, online course and it was a really fun class! Dr. Christine Promin-Stein was a great teacher and I enjoyed her class. You get to write about different videos of theatre in discission posts and have quizzes sometimes. She is very organized and has the whole course released weekly by weekly, so you can plan accordingly.
Be sure to read her syllabus, all instructions are clear.
Be sure to read syllabus.
Professor Promin- Stein was a great teacher who gave many fun but effectual assignments and every time I had emailed her she would quickly respond.
Super easy class, I highly recommend! Beware of discussion board due dates. Super fun assignments and the final was easy as she gives you the perfect resources to study. 1-2 assignments a week!
I loved this class it was so easy overall. I would say to be sure to read the instructions on discussion posts because sometimes she will have the initial response due before the actual due date. There were only 1-2 assignments a week and she graded pretty fast. Definitely choose her as your professor for literally any of her classes!!!!
As long as you stay on top of your assignments and have good time management this should be an easy class.
As long as you do your work, you'll be successful. Very clean layout for an online class.
Does a good job, gives PowerPoints that are helpful for quizzes and tests
Does good job at giving all the information needed for quizzes and tests, her PowerPoints are very useful
I liked this acting appreciation class! it provided the flexibility I needed to work and go to school. Be careful about submitting work on time. This professor does not hand out extensions.
The course material was not hard to digest, the videos are great to watch. Sometimes the influx of information left me wishing it was all condensed into one source, but it was great to participate in nonetheless!
Very good professor and class isn't too bad, however she can be a tough grader.
Dr. Stein's overview of theater was really interesting and informative, and this was my favorite of the online classes I've taken. I thought her power-point presentations were really a good addition to what I learned from the textbook, and I enjoyed the discussion group postings. I really appreciated how quickly she answered email questions, too.
Dr. Promin-Stein was a very understanding professor and communicated well deadlines and extra credit opportunities. Even though the course is online you have the opportunity to interact with your peers through discussions boards and finding common interests. More than enough materials to help you navigate the course!
Dr. Promin-Stein is a very understanding and caring professor. She gives you a lot of help and assistance when asked and has a lot of materials to ensure you don't fall behind.
Very organized and engaged with students.
Professor Stein is fair and is willing to work with students who want to get the most out of the class. She does this because she genuinely enjoys it and it shows
I really enjoy this course! It is always helpful to have reminders about assignments, and it sounds like Dr. Stein is doing a great job at keeping you on track. Keep up the good work!
Very easy going class. Not very fast paced for an 8 week course but still covered alot of material.
Pretty easy class, Dr. Stein is friendly and understanding and makes herself easily accessible by email. She also puts together all the power points and other materials needed to master the material no problem. The quizzes can be challenging but as long as you do the reading and look at the power points you'll be fine.
Easy class
Professor Stein is an awesome teacher to work with. She gave feedback on almost all discussions and even participated herself. She cares about theater and provides you with really good sources on what the lecture is about. She is also the first teacher that I've had that provides extra credit. Would definitely take another class with her again!
Professor Promin-Stein was amazing!! She gives clear-cut and straight-forward assignments, and a very manageable weekly workload. Although it was an online class, she made herself accessible and engaged with the class in discussions and announcements. If you have the option of taking her class, even online, you should!
Being online really limits the potential for critique for the teacher however by what interaction was had, this teacher truly loves what they are teaching and it shows through the work. Having only 4 tests in all really limits the margin for error however due to the content being readily available by the teacher this class is nice and easy.
This teacher truly loves they teach and it shows in the assignments being very community / discussion heavy. While I took this class through online means doesn't mean that I didn't get a great experience from this teacher. All the assignments were fairly simple and expectations were laid out in a very easy to understand way.
Her class was easy to follow and did not have an excess amount of work. the material provided was easy to understand and the assignments were very straightforward. for an online class, i liked how structured it was. she had the same sort of assignments due the same time every week so it made it very easy to stay on top of everything.
Christine was an excellent professor for this course, she was very helpful and caring about her students and their successfulness. I would definitely love to have her as my professor again.
Christine was an amazing professor for this course. I would definitely love to have her as my professor again.
Class was good straight forward. A lot of info to take in but overall i enjoyed the class .
Great instructor!
This professor is very thorough with directions and make things clear. Visuals and videos are easy to understand and personality is bright.
the work is not hard and easily understood. just stay on top of your deadlines and you'll be fine.
Great professor, great class, and great material! She really wanted us to succeed and I appreciated her for it! Not terribly difficult and great content!
Excellent professor! very kind and caring.
This is an 8 week course that has 7 discussion boards(one for each week except for the last week, and the discussion boards are easy), 3 quizzes, a play critique(it's mandatory to attend cpcc play, writing play critique was also easy), and a final exam. She offers extra credit and the course workload is not heavy at all.
Gives Great feedback on Assignments Gives many examples of assignments to help achieve a better grade and provides a clear and easy-to-understand grading rubric
Excellent professor who gives great resources for each assignment. This was a 4 week mini session but there was never a work overload. Take this class!
I took her 4 week online course & we had to attend one in-person meeting. She was nice, thorough, & personable, & you can tell she cares & genuinely wants you to succeed.We had things to do every week so just make sure you don't fall behind and communicate as early as possible. The work isn't extremely hard as long you watch the clips and excerpts
She was awesome! She posted all of the work as soon as the class started, so I was able to finish the work for this course very quickly! There are not many quizzes, and when there are quizzes they are only open for 2 days (Friday-Saturday) so be sure you don't forget about them! This class was very easy and fun!
This professor class is smooth and not heavy work. The work that is given is easy to do I took this class for 8 weeks and was able to get all work done. I was able to learn and receive a good grade at the same time and street free.
I took this class for an easy A it was harder than expected, but not by much. the teacher offers many opportunities to get extra credit.
If you are willing to show up online, do the quizzes, and watch some videos/plays, you should have no problem receiving an A in this class.
This professor made it super easy and convienent to collect information and complete the assignments for this class. I appreciate her and this style of online course teaching.
This professor was simple and straight-forward on assignments and when they should be completed. The course schedule matched up with the day assignments were due and I feel I was able to excel in this class with her approach to teaching as well as easy access to course information.
Dr. Promin-Stein offers great opportunities for extra credit as well as making sure the class was fun and engaging for everyone!
This professor is really engaging and fun. She provided some examples of the modules for the course. She does post her discussions to voice her opinion. Overall, she's fun to take.
I was not hoping for how easy this online class would be but it is.
The content in this course is really interesting and there's a lot to learn but the professor provides tons of resources and references to help you succeed.
Professor Promin-Stein is very open and honest with communication and helps those who come to her for help. She also gives feedback where she see's fit to help students grow in her class.
I took this class because I thought it would be an easy A the course work was not too hard but there's a lot more extensive than I expected
Her teaching style was very easy to understand, and all the work given was cohesive.
Professor Promin-Stein was terrific!! Her page is easy to follow, engaging, and overall a lot of fun! I enjoyed her class thoroughly and would recommend it to others!!
I really did enjoy my time in this class. I found the course content provided to be diverse and enjoyable (it's not all just Shakespeare!). However, I admit I do have some reservations about the practice of offering extra credit in exchange for posting a review, as it raises concerns about the authenticity of the feedback.
It was a good experience I reccomend this class to those who need to take an online humanities class, lots of discussions but honestly it was easy and as long as you actually do the assignments you should have no problem getting a B.
I would say this professor is laid back, and very understanding as well as being very easy to reach out to.
I loved taking Theatre Appreciation online class with Dr. Stein! Assignments and their due dates were made well known weeks in advance. Discussion boards were thought-provoking and easy to participate in! I accidentally missed an assignment due date after being hospitalized for a few days; she was very understanding and helpful about it!
This class is an easy A. She just gives you discussions board and a few assignments.
EASY A !!!!
All the things you will learn are from the PowerPoint and notes she posts.
Dr.Stein is a fantastic teacher! I was really nervous about this class at first because I have no experience with Drama or Theatre but she makes class so engaging. I recommend taking this class for fun or for required credit. She understands if you can't make it to class(in person), just don't make it a habit to show up late or not attend.
Dr.Stein is a fantastic teacher, I would take her class again. I was nervous about taking this class at first because I had no experience whatsoever in Drama or Theatre, but she made it very engaging and easy to follow along. She is very understanding if you have to miss class one day, just don't make it a habit. Lets yk when an assignments due.
Professor Promin-Stein is an outstanding theatre educator with a no exceptions approach to deadlines. Their knowledge and passion for theatre are undeniable. If you're willing to rise to the challenge and embrace their policy on deadlines, you'll enjoy incredible educational experience.
Threw out my time in her class I found it very easy to access and understand the work because of how well organized the work was given. I also really liked how the professor would give us a weekly video of herself explaining the work that was going to be due for the week. It was also very easy to learn new facts about the work making it very fun.
Dr. Christine Promin-Stein was very helpful to our class. She made sure we understood the assignments and gave us plenty of videos to learn about the material we were on.
She is very engaging, I can tell she loves to teach her class more than just throwing an assignment in your face and expecting you to do it. she's funny and that helps the class engage in conversations and makes the environment a lot more comfortable for students.
Choosing her as your professor will be a great choice. You will get a good grade as long as you participate and turn in your work on time. She provides an outline of the class and you are able to work ahead if you choose.
This was a really easy and straightforward online course to take! Dr. Promin-Stein was so pleasant to have as a professor. The expectations are very clear and everything is really easy to follow. She also is not a harsh grader and if you just do your work on time and put effort in you will easily pass with a high A.
Professor Christine is very helpful and straightforward. I had a little trouble with some work being online she was very understanding and helpful. She is great with responding to your emails
Professor Promin-Stein is great for an accelerated course; usually only a discussion and a quiz due each week. She's also provided several opportunities for extra credit. I would definitely take her classes again.
Professor Stein's Theatre class was amazing. I needed one more elective class to graduate this fall. This course was interesting, and insightful. I never realized the impact that theater has in our lives and the global connections it has across our diversified world. The course was engaging. The activities varied. .
Professor Christine Promin-Stein is amazing! The class itself was not difficult. There ranged from 1-2 assignments per week which is either a discussion board or a quiz. Overall, the class was easy but beware there is a 2-3 page critique at the end of the class but it took me an hour to finish.
Professor Promin-Stein is very detailed in her lectures and in the resources she provides. Her class is entertaining without being too burdensome with its coursework. I would recommend this course even to those who find themselves at a loss when it comes to matters of drama/play/theatre.
Ms.Promin-Stein is a very enthusiastic teacher who makes classes fun, every time I come to class its always and interesting topic never boring. She also understands that we just became adults and life is hard and she works with you through those times.
She is a great professor and easy lecture. I took this class for 8 weeks and it was not a lot of assignments and quizzes and the assignments were not hard. I highly recommend taking this class with professor Christine Promin-Stein.
Awesome class, strict deadlines so don't fall behind, fairly easy, gives great study guides but you will have to put in effort.
She was a good professor, she does have a strict timeline and odd deadlines for assignments so you have to stay on top of them. Overall, easy course, would take again.
Dr. Promin-Stein is an excellent lent professor! Each assignment was really interesting and I really did learn a lot in the class. Although it was an online class, she gave out really cool assignments and is very responsive. I would definitely take this class if you are given the chance too. It's a really cool class!
This is a great teacher to have if you are taking theatre appreciation. If you do the things you need to do and submit it on time, you will get a good grade in this class. This is a low-stress class unless you make it otherwise.
This is a great teacher to have if you are taking theatre appreciation. I enjoyed taking this class for the past eight weeks, and it being online helped with work-life balance. As long as you do the things you need to do for her class you will get a good grade.
Dr. Promin-Stein is a great instructor; this class felt like a breeze, especially given my chaotic life; the assignments are not difficult and you can learn a few things from them; she responds to emails very quickly and is always available to help; if I could have her for any other class, I would definitely apply.
i have enjoyed every seconds i spent on this course the learning system and lecture was amazing
Dr. Promin-Stein is a great professor! You can tell she truly cares about what she is teaching and the success of each of her students. With an extensive background in theatre, I can't imagine a better teacher for this course. She has real-life stories and examples to make class feel that much more fun.
This professor is nice and laid back. The assignments are pretty simple. She doesn't grade harshly but she does take class participation into account. Try your best in the class and she won't fail you. Overall, it's a good class.
I think Professor Promin-Stein did a great job of providing some more modern takes on a lot of the lessons. My favorite part of the course was the Thug Notes videos because they were able to go over the given information while also making it relatable for its viewers. I enjoyed this class very much.
Dr. Promin-Stein is an incredible professor. Although this course was online she uploaded videos every week explaining what was due and the topics which was extremely helpful. The assignments are pretty self-explanatory and are not difficult at all. I really enjoyed this class and helped me appreciate theatre much more.
FIVE STARS!! she is very amazing , and you can tell she loves her job as a professor. Very well spoken , and will not leave you stuck in the end. Is always open for questions and opinions.
This class was easygoing. Dr. Stein is a good person and has a lot of empathy with her students. This is my first year in the States, and she had a lot of flexibility and understanding of my English limitations. She has a lot of experience and really cares about your development and grades in the course.
I really enjoy Professor Promin-Stein, the class content was usually presented in a slideshow and a assignment that went along with it. Usually a discussion board and sometimes a quiz. I do wish she gave more feedback on the discussions. All of the work has specific due dates within the week. Be aware of those due dates.I really enjoyed this class!
Absolutely great professor. Would definitely take this professor again and would highly recommend her. She made it super easy to navigate through bright space and overall was a great experience being in a 8 week course.
Everything was very detailed and laid out so there wasn't much confusion on what needed to be done when. I really enjoyed the class and learned so much on theatre. As long as stay updated and on track you'll done fine.
The professor is very clear about her expectations in this class and posts a video every week to help students understand what they are going to learn this week and what are their assignments. She also gives you some extra credit opportunities. A rubric is very clear, so you know how much effort you have to put into every assignment.
Dr.Promin-Stein has a lot of knowledge about theater and has creative assignments where you can have fun while learning the elements of theater.
Professor stein is a great teacher and well to work with. Although class was online she was present by uploading videos with class instruction. If you ever have a question she is responsive via Email. She is supportive and has links for help for help if you are having trouble.
This was an amazing class. She gives you all the material you need to complete and pass the course. She also gives you a timely manner to finish all your assignments.
Dr. Promin-Stein answered my emails promptly, gave clear directions, and had clear criteria for grading so I thoroughly enjoyed this class. (Also to note did not have too much difficulty in receiving a high letter grade) I strongly recommend this course to other students.
My professor was good the work is reasonable. I didn't like how most of the time assignments were due Thursday but randomly she would switch it up with no notice, so I was unable to complete some assignments.
would recommend
She is a very fun and kind professor, and her love for theater is contagious I really didn't care much for theater before taking her class and now I have a newfound appreciation for theater as a whole.
A very fun, easy class.
a lot of assignments but it's worth it for the final
My professor was a professional for me. She understood my accommodation. What I like about this course is that it was my easiest course. I also enjoyed the lectures I attended and learning about the different types of theatre and genres. What I also like about this course is learning musicals and writing about them.
Professor Promin-Stein is easy to get along with. Her assignments are straightforward and not too complicated. Class participation is pretty important so put in your best effort and she won't fail you. My only issue was that she was forgetful and a bit scatter-brained. It made it hard to follow the lectures and stay engaged during class.
I enjoyed my instructor overall. The projects and discussions she made for our modules whether they be for a play we were reading like Hamlet or learning about a new principal of theater, made the classes very engaging for me. I also appreciated the lecture videos she made for each module. Overall, I really enjoyed Miss Promin-Stein.
I want other students to know that the professor is really funny and interesting to listen to.
Professor Stein, is a great professor! She makes her class easy and simple. You have deadlines every Thursday which I believe is reasonable. You have to read to understand concepts but other than reading and watching videos her class is pretty easy compared to other electives. I would definitely take this class again!
Dr. Stein's class was very easy to follow. The work was not overwhelming and could easily be thrown in to a full set of classes. The assignments consisted of discussion posts, quizzes, a play critique, and a final exam. Very simple class and definitely recommend taking this course with Dr. Stein! + Bonus points if you like cats.
This professor was not a terribly hard grader, nor did she assign unreasonable amounts of work. It's mainly discussion posts, a few other writing assignments, and quizzes. Usually no more than two assignments per week. Beware of her RIGID no late work policy and make sure you have all the due dates correct.
Very interesting class if you like theater! This teacher only assigns a few things each week but make sure you respond to two class mates on the discussion posts, only posting your own response and not responding to anybody will TANK the grade.
This professor was very chill and she did not give a whole lot of work. She lets the students be independent but she also lets them know that she's there to help if they need it. The class is pretty fast paced and it is mandatory to turn all assignments in by the due date. Overall the professor was nice and helpful.
This professor gives lots of discussion boards for us to share our feelings on theater. This professor also has us reply to other students for a grade.
It was an online class, but it was a good experience.
Amazing professor I would take with her again
Amazing professpr I would 100% take this class again
Personally, I loved my professor for my Theatre Appreciation CPCC class. She used different styles of notes and lectures throughout the course that accommodated to everyone's learning. The assignments were straight to the point with no problems. She also provides extra credit at the end of the course.10/10 would recommend professor Stein!
Prof. Promin-Stein was very thorough with her information and made sure to leave nothing out. She could drag at times but the connections she would make with the real world and criteria made it enjoyable and informative.
Amazing professor! I would 100% recommended her.
I enjoyed this class and learned a lot about theatre through it. I personally think Professor Promin-Stein did a great job directing the course and was very clear with her expectations. The most common assignment was a discussion board so long as you remember to respond to 2+ peers and write more than 250 words for your own post its pretty easy.
This professor is great at her job. Her class is an easy and interesting class I highly recommend to anyone that look for a course credit class. Everything that was taught was very understandable and precise
She's a really good professor for DRA111, even if you don't know a lot about the subject. She clearly knows a lot and has a lot of experience in theatre overall and is generally just really chill. The work isn't hard, you just have to do it. There's not too many assignments, and it's usually just lecture, but she makes them interesting.
Dr.Stein is an amazing professor. She makes sure to give out all information quickly and straightforward. She also organize the modules perfectly. All the information that she provides us really helps us towards our assignments and test. She also gives us great opportunities for extra credit.
I felt as though all the work was presented to me in a way that I could comprehend it and all of the assignments that we covered before we did a discussion assignment or a test had all of the information in and there wasn't anything that I didn't learn that was on anything, I really felt like I learned a lot this year!
She is not a good professor.
She also makes students write reviews for extra credit so do not trust it.
I really enjoyed taking this course. I thought that every single assignment was fun to do. I also that that the assignments, quizzes were very well explained and easy to do. As a student I would've liked if as a class we could go actually go out and see different types of plays and not just viewing them on YouTube.
overall I thought this class was very easy. all assignments and quizzes were very well explained by the teacher, so I had no difficulties doing any homework. Really liked how all our assignments and weeks were very organized it was easy to look through for assignments. Also this class was very entertaining and fun I would totally recommend.
Professor Promin-Stein was very thoughtful about the way she created her assignments and presentations. Everything was easy to follow and there was never a worry about missing an assignment because it was located somewhere unusual. She gave opportunities for extra credit in order to aid the success of the student.
Super understanding and overall an amazing professor! Her assingments and class page are organized and easy to follow and rubrics are always provided. It's not lecture/textbook heavy and the assignments are accomplishable. I had a great experience in her class and would take her course again.
Professor Promin-Stein was fantastic. She gave lots of opportunities for extra credit, responded to emails quickly, and was a fair grader. As long as you do all your work on time, this will be a great class for you to take.
Professor Promin-Stein has a very strong knowledge and passion for theatre, and it shines through her on-line course. She starts every week with fun high-energy video post that helps prepare you for what we are learning, and work assignments are do for the week. The work was challenging but manageable, it was an enjoyable class.
She responded to emails quickly, and made sure to provide input if you ever needed help on something.
I loved taking this class. Dr. Stein responded to emails promptly and provided helpful clarification when needed. The play critique was such a fun assignment, and I appreciated the optional and extra credit assignments.
I loved her was very kind and answered all questions I had. Class work was clearly labeled and marked. LOVED having her online and the way she had things set up on Brightspace.
Great professor! Easy to follow Brightspace page and responds to email quickly!
Dr. Stein was awesome. Definitely recommend taking her class. The coursework was easy to follow. The workload was reasonable and she gave a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Very easy class clear as day instructions for assignments as well and 3 extra credit assignments.
she kinda rude in emails and
I didn't talk much with this professor outside of my assignments but over all a good professor. Just make sure to look at when something is due.
Professor is very knowledgeable in her art and a tough grader as well. Get ready to read a lot to have a good grade, she does post good videos and mainly has quizzes on them as well. If you have a full-time job and other classes, be prepared to set time aside to study for quizzes. Some deadlines were wrong.
Professor Stein is very knowledgeable in her art. Be prepared to read textbook material, but we didn't use textbook materials as much, we mostly watched videos. Discussions prompts are not optional, counts as participation. Professor allows make ups for some assignments if there is an emergency reason. Can reach professor easily!
A really good teacher and the grading is fair, be prepared to work.
Be prepared to do a decent amount of work, really fair grading and the teacher is great
While Dr. Promin-Stein's grading was stringent, the materials she supplied significantly contributed to expanding my knowledge in Theater. I truly enjoyed this course!
Class was very straight forward and simple. Opportunities were given if your grade wasn't where you wanted.
I liked the class. I liked seeing the play that we were supposed to critique. I think the work was a bit challenging/tedious since it was 250+ word discussion post daily but if you work had enough it will be somewhat manageable. Overall It was a good class.
I had this teacher online and it wasn't even bad. The work isn't hard and one thing I really liked about this class was the video questions and also having to give my opinions on different types of theaters.

Prof. Stein is knowledgeable, innovative and creative in teaching theater arts. While many online classes are "read-quiz-repeat', her's is discussion board centered so you interact with classmates. One note; some quizzes have incorrect answers so always follow up. She's great about responding to emails and making score corrections as appropriate.
This class will be simple as long as you do the quizzes and discussions. She's a fair grader and not harsh. The class requires you to go to see a play at the main cpcc campus and write a play critique on it. The rubric is clear and it's easy as long as you pay attention to the play and answer the questions on the rubric.
I really loved this professor and this class. If I had the choice to retake this class, I absolutely would. 10/10!
You will do well in this course as long as you turn in your work on time. She is an easy grader and the quizzes are not very hard.
This was a very interactive class.
This has been one of my favorite classes so far. It has been easy, as long as you are prepared to try your best and manage your time.
Prof. Stein is an amazing professor. She made almost everything in the class easy to do, it was very organized, and she also opened people up to have a opportunity to go and watch a live play, which is something I really enjoyed. 10/10 prof. I would love to have her again.
Dr Stein was very helpful and understanding, allow extra time to complete assignments while I was dealing with projects at work.
Dr. Promin-Stein's course was set up for success. There were 1-2 assignments each week, a discussion board, and occasionally a quiz. All the information needed can be found in PowerPoint and videos.
The Assignments Professor Stein selected for DRA111 for very engaging. I very much enjoyed working on each and every assignments. She also takes the time to answer thoughtfully to students' emails.
I took this class for fun, and I'm glad I did. I learned lots about theatre and I would definitely recommend it.
This professor was great online; videos and announcements were posted that clearly explained what was due that week. I didn't communicate with the professor through email, but the agenda announcements were very nice! The workload is generally discussion boards and quizzes with some assignments sprinkled in. Be prepared to watch some videos!
Had a great time in this class.
Do the work you will love the professor
Professor Promin-Stein was a great professor. For someone who knew a great deal about theatre, I was able to learn even more. Her work was informative, yet not so heavy that you hate doing it. It was a great class overall and I highly recommend her to anyone!
I took Theater Appreciation with Dr. Stein and I was really grateful that they provided YouTube links for very diverse learnings. I was able to digest the information easily, and I was able to get lots of different perspectives of the subject matter. I highly recommend a course with Dr. Stein, specifically Theater Appreciation!
I appreciated how straightforward her expectations and assignments were. There was not much room for interpretation which allowed me to clearly understand each assignment given. Great professor with attentive and quick responses.
She provides clear direction in all assignments with plenty of time to complete them. Always replies to emails very quickly. A fair grader as well.
This course was an accelerated online option so it was a lot of information ! The video examples provided for our assignments were well chosen and easy to watch and comprehend . We were given video instructions to start each module which made the online aspect feel more personal. I loved dipping my toe into theater this semester with this class!!!
This professor was kind and understanding. She gives a lot of lenience with assignments.
This professor gives clear instructions with each assignment, that is given in this course.
This professor was GREAT! The professor gave out simple and easy work that made the class a good class to take. The professor also gave great feedback on your work, telling you what you did well on. She was a fair grader and is not too strict which is a good thing.
This professor was great online! The professor's teaching style is engaging and effective, making complex material easy to understand for students. She has talent for conveying information clearly and concisely, also fostering a positive learning.
Overall was amazing, not annoying or pretentious. Gave 2 or 3 assignments a week and they were fairly easy and could complete in 1-2 hours.
DRA111-N883 Theatre Appreciation is very important for students. However, you should have a professor like Cristine Promin-Stein to the best enjoed it.
Ms Promin-Stein grades very quickly and provides great feedback so you always know what you can improve upon. There are only one to two assignments a week so it is easy to keep up on your work if you plan for due dates.
Mrs. Stein was a fantastic professor. She gave us the right material and balanced it out so we weren't too stressed with workload and she helped me learn so much about theatre so I am happy she was my professor and I suggest taking her class to anyone else who wants to do theatre.
Great professor, the only problem is that I wish assignments were due at the end of the week instead of the beginning or middle of the week. Overall, great, and easy grader.
My professor was exceptional in caring for students and providing clear grading criteria. Her dedication to fostering a supportive learning environment was evident. Her communication of grading expectations was crystal clear. My experience with this professor was positive, thanks to their nurturing approach and transparent grading system.
Great professor and great class and very understanding.
I enjoyed this class, work was easy to understand and well shown to us the professor was nice and responded in a timely matter to us
If you do your work you will be good.
This was one of my favorite online classes so far. Dr Stein creates videos to kick off the next module, so you have a clear understating of what is expected of you. The class isn't difficult because the course matter is interesting. I took this class as a short session and the work was manageable. I would definitely recommend Dr Stein.
I took this class online during the short term. The class isn't difficult as long as you turn your homework in on time. There are weekly discussion boards, quizzes, and a final exam. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Dr Promin-Stein posted videos going over the next module and provides weekly PowerPoints. I would definitely recommend this class.
I was expecting tons of lectures and reports to write, but the class was very capable to handle. The assignments were actually really fun (watching plays and movies), and the teacher was very helpful.
The work load is easy to handle if you know what you're doing. There were not many assignments or quizzes given and they were easy to get through as well.
Not a lot of assignments, Easy work to complete if taken online.
Instructions were very clear and straightforward, definitely a fun and easy class to take!
I enjoyed taking Dr Stein's class. I would recommend this class; you would be surprised how much you will learn about theatre. Thought it would be boring, but it wasn't. There are weekly discussions boards on great topics. Two quizzes and a final exam. There is extra credit, and the lowest discussion board is dropped. Participation matters.
She is very easily and quickly understood and answered any questions so possible
She is very kind, helpful and quick to respond with any questions soon possible.
the professor was very kind and his class was straight forward. I emailed my professor one question and I had a response the next morning. That is very important for me.
Professor Promin-Stein is a great teacher to get for theatre
she is the best one
Great Class and she was great!
I really enjoyed this professor and would definitely take her class again. She seemed to be passionate about what she was talking about and responded to emails quickly.
She is a very neutral teacher. I didn't have any bad experiences nor any super positive memorable experiences. There was one time where I had to submit an assignment late because I am a high school student taking college classes and Dr. Stein did help with that and I am very thankful for her accepting my late assignment.
Dr. Promin-Stein was very understanding and an easy teacher to work with. The assignments weren't too complicated and there was enough time in between assignments to get them done. She was very understanding and helped me when I accidentally didn't submit an assignment.
The assignments were rather easy and not extremely time-consuming. However, please note, that for your play critique, you MUST go see the play in person.
Professor Promin-Stein was an amazing professor although it was an online class with little interaction. Her work was well conveyed and clear on what she wanted. Not once did she make anything difficult for me. She responded to my emails. I believe her class can only be hard if you don't put your part.
The work wasn't too hard only accepts late work with medical or legal documentation.
Do your work and you'll be fine.
She is very lenient when it comes to coursework, she will work with you need help and she doesn't mind taking time out of her day to make sure that you understand the concepts you may struggle with!
Professor Promin-Stein was wonderful! I took an online version of the Theater Appreciation course over the summer and it was great! I had to go out of the country for the last week or so of the course and Professor Promin-Stein was very helpful and replied to my emails quickly to help me work out a plan to finish the course strong!
This professor is very knowledgeable and informative. She gives more than enough resources to get all the assignments done.
I really liked the fact she is clear with when things are due, and allows one to move at the pace they want.
Very nice professor, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to take an online class. Coursework is also manageable.
Professor was very clear and knowledgeable of the course material.
Professor straight forward with assignments just catch up and you will have good grades.
Found this teacher to be very good! she structures her class well and provides clear instructions for what to do each week for your assignments! would definitely take this course again if needed.
This professor structures the class very well and allows it to be self-paced. The work isn't very hard, and you can get a lot out of it by learning different perspectives about theatre. Just do the work, and you will succeed in this class!
I really like how well the class was structured, and the work wasn't too hard. It is easy to do well in the class as long as you do your work, and you will learn a lot about theatre!
She was a great professor, and easy to communicate with. Always gives great feedback and an overall easy class!
Professor Promin-Stein makes guidelines and due dates very clear making it super easy to stay on top of assignments!
The teacher had many professional abilities and this professor really helped me look at what happens in theatre and why it needs to be appreciated more.
Very straight forward, fun and easy class to have a good grade in.
Professor Stein is a great online professor. She responds to emails in a timely manner and is lenient with due dates. She is not a tough grader and she sets clear grading guidelines. The course material is not hard and she posts a video every week breaking it down. The work-load is reasonable and I would consider her course low-stress.
A great professor with a reasonable class layout. The flow of the course is easy to understand and not too many assignments. So long as you stay on top of everything, you will do just fine in this course. She also offers many extra credit opportunities! Would definitely take courses taught by her again.
Very organized class layout. The work itself is fairly easy to complete even if you are like me and know absolutely nothing about theatre. She is not a tough grader as long as you follow the very easy and clear grading rubrics for each assignment. There is one to two assignments a week, very doable. None of the assignments were hard (to me).
She is a great teacher!!
Professor Stein is a great online instructor. The course material is straightforward, and she provides helpful video breakdowns. unstuckstudy ai was a game-changer for staying on top of things. Worth taking her class!
Professor Promin-Stein is a fantastic theater instructor! Her passion for the arts makes every class engaging, and she explains concepts clearly. She's approachable, gives helpful feedback, and truly cares about her students' success. Her classes are fun, insightful, and perfect for anyone wanting to grow in theater!
This class was stress-free for me, given that assignments are relatively easy, interesting, and there is plenty of time to get them done. Dr. Stein was very easy to reach out to, as she replied to my few necessary emails very quickly. The class is structured and organized very nicely in a way that I believe most (if not all) students would enjoy.
I took her online course while I had a pretty bad concussion. She was completely understanding and gave me all the extra help I needed. I took her theater appreciation course and it was self paced. I only had to write one paper, but there was a lot of discussions online. She was super nice and I would definitely take this class again if I could!
I took this online theater appreciation class while I had a concussion and she was very understanding. She was ready to help me with anything I needed. There was only one paper, but a lot of discussions. Her class was selfed paced which I really appreciated.
I really enjoyed my semester, as I have learned so much about theater that I didn't know before. I hope you have a good year, I'm excited to go and see future shows.
She's a very good professor, she explains things while and has a clear rubric system and fair gradings. She's also really responsive so if you ever needed help with anything she would be there quickly.
Although it was an online class, it was a good class to help me learn and appreciate theatre. Dr. Stein was very understandable and reasonable when it came to assignments.
I was impressed with the professor's ability to keep me engaged since I initially dreaded taking this course. Once I met the professor I fell in love with drama. I learned a lot from her class, and have a better appreciation for the art of theatre.
Professor Promin-Stein was very helpful and a pretty easy grader. The rubrics reflected exactly what we needed to do & it was graded accordingly. It was a decently easy course and I enjoyed it!
Christine Promin-Stein was a very competent professor, and I thoroughly enjoyed having her as an instructor. She can be a bit short in her emails, and the feedback she gave was a little lacking, but overall she was great.
I enjoyed and learned a lot through her class. However, during one of the discussion boards we had to watch several videos and discuss what we liked and did not like about them and she assigned some videos that were highly inapropiate and absolutely demonic. I couldn't even finish watching the videos because they made me feel sick to my stomach.
there is a mandatory play to attend, if your schedule does not allow it, you will be failed.
Overall great class to take online with Ms. Christine, I never had a problem with any of the assignments and she sends reminders through email regarding important coursework, especially the play critique and opening dates. She gave an average amount of work each week which should be easily manageable, and discussion boards weren't too difficult.

Class is very interactive as far as having to respond on discussion posts. Very interesting videos and plays displayed with a fun game in between. All online aside from watching a live play for the critique,
This class was by far one of the easiest and enjoyable that I have had taken at CPCC. Professor Promin-Stein is great and did not give out lots of homework. Class is easy if you enjoy theater and its history.
She was absolutely amazing!! I accidently missed an assignment out of my own confusion of due dates and she kindly sent me an email back for the steps I needed to take to insure I completed the class successfully.
overall was a great class! Would recommend the instructor. She had clear instructions on all assignments, as well had grades in a timely manner. Responds quickly to emails. Load of work each week was manageable, just make sure to complete all the discussion boards.
The class was really easy. I'm currently taking it, but I'm about done with this semester. This was an online course, and all she did was assign discussions and quizzes. There is one small essay that she makes us write about a play that you have to attend at the Central Piedmont Theater, but other than that, it was easy. I would recommend it.
I found the class easy and simple as all the material i needed was there for me to be able to do the work, i would take this class again with her
Dr. Stein was a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable. She was very supportive and understanding during my time of sorrow and that will always be remembered. Her teaching style was perfect for someone like me that has been out of school over 20 years. I needed more a more hands on approach and she offered that.
My personal experience with this professor was awesome,Due to my family situation, I couldn't attend the show and I contacted my professor through the gmail, surprisedly even when she was on vacation she was responding really faster, than most of the professors. Very understanding professor and always ready to help.
her course work is very thorough and understandable, and she's quick to answer your questions.
Dr. Stein was a great teacher! She posted a video every week explaining what we had to do. She gave us plenty of interesting criteria to look at that helped with the quizzes.
I took her DRA111 course and loved it! She provided a clear rubric and allowed us to work ahead by opening up all the coursework. She had excellent communication, and I highly recommend taking the notes for the class. The homework & quizzes were both manageable and engaging, making the learning experience enjoyable. I highly recommend this course!
Dr. Promin Stein is really an amazing professor. Super kind and clear.
She is awesome!
The professor was good. I found her course somewhat difficult to navigate online. The due dates on assignments varied rather than having one set due date each week which was a little tricky. Overall she wasn't a harsh grader and the assignments themselves were not super difficult. She was somewhat difficult to reach through email though.
Easy-going, laid-back. Offers extra credit. Definitely take her course
