The work was easy, but she assigned and expected way too much for a class that is taken by mainly non-theatre majors. All quizzes and tests were online which was nice. Overall easy, but an unnecessary amount of work so I would suggest taking someone else if you can. She also rarely lets class out early and takes attendance daily.

Had an average above 100 the whole semester. Gives SO much extra credit and everything we did (quizzes, tests, midterm, final, etc) was online. Only two tough-ish assignments which were two group projects. Definitely get the textbook because her test/quiz questions come straight from it. Overall easy class

I had never taken any theatre before, but Prof Butler was great! Attendance is mandatory, and she expects you to put in the work for group projects. All quizzes and tests online. She really wants students to succeed, so put forth some effort and you will do fine! I didn't have to read the textbook much, but it's necessary to fill in study guide.

Great class. Instructor prepares you for mid-term and final. Provides study guides. Lots of homework but doable. All homework and tests online. A or B if you put in the time.

All homework was online (Easy A). The midterm and final was online (Awesome). Downside is you have to see three different plays throughout the semester. However she makes a boring subject relatively fun and entertaining to attend.

She is very sweet! She is easy to talk to and her class is not hard at all. Just remember to take the quizzes she posts online!

So many quizzes and reflections to do online (more than any of my other classes) but pretty easy. She nice and hates it when people leave class early so just don't do that.

Prof. Butler was so great. I didnt get to know her really until the end of the year when something happened with a few of my assignments that was really going to effect my grade. she was SO understanding and helpful and realized we're all human and things happen. good class but REALLY caring professor

While Intro to Theatre wasn't my favorite class, I found it to be surprisingly tolerable under Ms. Butler. Grading is pretty slow (and a common complaint apparently) but the content of the class is quite easy. Homework is frequent but fairly quick. I also found her to be very understanding and easy to approach.

This class is very easy- ended up with a 99 in her class. There are a LOT of quizzes but they are all online. If you come to class and take notes they won't be difficult to complete. Midterm and final are online as well. She kind of takes this class more seriously than to be expected for non-theatre majors. But the A is worth it in my opinion!!!

She cares a lot about theatre. She takes attendance every class. There is a final and a midterm, both online and easy if you try. There are lots of quizzes, don't wait to do them. You have to go see 2 plays and write about them, its a big part of your grade, but easy. She's a late grader, but if you've done everything right then no need to worry

If you need a fine art credit, take Dr. Butler! She knows you want an easy A, and she gives you the perfect opportunity for one. All test were online (including the final). We were required to attend a few plays on campus, but I loved all of them. She makes a "get this out of the way" class really enjoyable, and I actually learned a lot!

super easy class as long as you show up and do the work. you show up, she lectures, then you leave and all the work is online. a lot of busy work. slow grader. midterm and final both taken online at home. there are 2 plays you are required to go see, 2 plays you are required to read, and then canvas quizzes answers always in notes/textbook.

Many say Butler takes this class too serious but that is not the case. This is a reading/study quiz heavy class but it isn't hard if you do the work. It should be an easy A if you stay on top of your assignments and turn things in on time. The group project is a major part of your grade. If done right it should be fun and an easy 100

Yes, all of the busy work gets old, but this class is SO easy. Dr. Butler cares a lot about theatre, but at the end of the day just turn everything and take the open note quizzes and you will be fine. You don't actually have to read the text book to do assignments and take tests.

She was very nice and easy to work with. Only hard part in the class is the group project and that wasn't her fault - it was the people in my group. Solid choice and a fun semester.

Lots of homework but completely doable since most of the material can be found on quizlet. She's a sweet professor and was really easy on grades. Got 100's for all major assignments. Take this class online with her if you can!

I really like Professor Butler. She gives a lot of homework but it helped me make an A in her class. Her exams are a little tough but they are open-book. They were only harder for me bc I did not prepare like I should have. She responds quickly to emails and she is very nice. I would take her again if I could!

Really liked Professor Butler. She did a fantastic job of covering the subject of theatre, especially aspects and forms of theatre that have historically been ignored or disregarded. Her class is easy but also very informative and great for anyone.

Good teacher- you can tell she loves her job. Class is fun and engaging if you put effort into it. Lots of chapter reads and quizzes, do them early and get them out of the way. Extra credit opportunities! Fast replies with emails, and lots of detailed descriptions for assignments, clear grading. Assignment, attendance and participation heavy.

Prof. Butler is FANTASTIC at working with you and giving you second chances. Her class is not hard to pass, the answers to everything are in her lectures or the textbook. Quizzes on each chapter, but taken at your availability.

Overall, a lot of work for just a fine art credit. However, all of the work is pretty easy, its just quite a bit for a fine arts credit class.

Butler is a passionate theatre teacher, and if you like theatre as well, all the work may be more enjoyable to you; but it's a lot! Pretty interesting stuff though. Midterm and finals are online and on Quizlets. If you do your work, this is an easy grade. Butler herself is pretty fair and understanding.

Prof Butler is an amazing instructor overall. Very passionate about her job and covers the subject of theatre exceptionally. If you're willing to put in the work, you'll get an A. Lectures are rather long and she does assign a large number of quizzes and writing responses. Don't take if you're expecting a simple course.

This class is incredibly easy. You have to see live performances but they're great. She often cancels class due to health complications of her or her students. She is very accepting of late work (regardless of the reason) and absences due to illnesses. She does have participation grades but they are not difficult. Strongly recommend core FA.

Very easy. I'm going to be honest; I did not once read the assigned readings and I'm currently 14 weeks in and holding a very comfortable A. If you go to this class and have a general understanding of theater terms, this class maybe added like 30 minutes weekly outside of class. If you need Core Fine Art; take it.

I took this class for a core fine arts credit. There was homework every week, but it was never difficult; typical busy work. She was really flakey though, we constantly had class cancelled an hour before it started or suddenly moved to zoom. She once cancelled class after it started and everyone was sitting in the lecture hall. Overall easy class.

She was a very caring professor. She gave a good amount of homework, but it was always a long time before the due date. If I needed help, I could email her at any time.

Super easy for a fine arts credit. There is a lot of homework but it's usually pretty easy. She also gives out lots of extra credit and opportunities to turn in late assignments. The quizzes and tests also aren't bad at all. She is very understanding and will answer emails promptly.

This class was fairly easy. Attendance is mandatory and you must also attend a certain number of plays per semester. I went to two. I actually enjoyed this class even though I am not a fine arts major. As long as you go to class, attend the plays, and do your homework then it should be an easy A.

so easy. cancels class all the time and every assignment is open book. you have to see three performances but they were not bad

Weekly modules with a quiz based on the lecture page, a discussion post, and an assignment. You have to see two plays and do assignments on them but both can be done online. Midterm and final have clear study guide to prepare you.

From my experince taking this class online, is that as long as you do all your work you will get an A. She's not unreasonable at all, but at times, she can assign a lot of work. I overall had a good experince.

Loved her class! I was slammed with work this semester because I was a STEM major and she was so kind and helped when needed. I have never written a review before for a professor so this should tell you just how good she is! If you are looking for a kind, understanding, and genuine professor.... she is the one!!

i like her. shes not as rude as she pretends to be shes actually mad friendy

You have to see plays outside of class but other than that it is a pretty easy class.

She is very sweet in and out of class. If she see's you walking around on campus she'll always say hi and check in on you

She's good. Very approachable and willing to answer questions to the best of her ability.
