Good Professor. She enjoys teaching. However, she does require you to think. Hence, the papers... She is funny, and seems intimidating at first with all the rules and requirements but if you can follow rules then no problem. She does grade papers as an English teacher. I am glad the credit hours was moved from 2 to 3. This class requires at

She seems scary at first cuz she has so many rules. There is a lot of work but she offers so much extra credit its almost impossible to not do well. I ended the classes with a 100%

She's a good teacher and is very passionate about theater. her powerpoints speak for themselves so theres really no need for the online text except to access WEBCT. Only complaint is that she gives a LOT of busy work. Easy class overall though. Oh and attendance is mandatory. you can miss like two classes.

Grades VERY harshly, but gives out a TON of extra credit. Very funny, and she knows her theatre. All quizzes and tests are online and multiple choice. It's next to impossible not to get an A. It's the play responses that she grades harshly.

Easy class. Attendance mandatory. Quizzes and tests all online. Grades papers a little harsh but the amount of extra credit provided sure helps and almost guarantees an A. Easy A. If you must take TPS she is the one. She is funny. In the beginning acts like she is very strict, but she is really nice.

She has been, by far, my favorite professor in college. I LOVED her class. It was fun, but there was A LOT of work. If you're lazy and don't want to go to class, then this class is not for you. There is a huge group project and it was a little frustrating , but that was due to group members. I definitely recommend her class.

She loves her work and is fair. You do the work required and participate and you will get an A. She gives extra credit and explains all. She is straight up with the students. Be respectful to her and her theater and she does so back to you.

Professor Cantrell is a great teacher! If you're looking for an easy A, this is it. You rarely use your book. She assigns you a play to read (easy), all tests/quizzes online (easy), participate in class (easy), and final project (easy). You catch my drift...

She's certainly entertaining and deserving of respect. But if you aren't interested in performance arts, the lectures will be pretty boring. The 5 minute play you put together has the potential to be either really fun or painful if your group doesn't cooperate. Tests and quizzes are easy. Make sure you have some insight to the performance responses

I loved her. She makes her expectations known, but she is willing to work with you when "life happens." I thoroughly enjoyed her and would welcome the opportunity to take her again.

Easy class! She makes you think that she is going to make the class hard but in the end its an easy A. Only some days do you have to show up (group days) but overall it was an easy class.

This professor will make you write and critically think about the 3 mandatory events you need to view. Her quizzes are easy and her tests are just the same. Pay attention, go to class, and do your group project and you'll do very well in her class.

If you are having trouble choosing what art appreciation class CHOOSE THIS ONE! She is really easy and she is extremely nice. She is an actor and really loves everything that she does. I have a 100% in this class and I still have extra credit to apply. If you have group project days BE SURE TO COME. I would take her again!

If you don't like group projects this is not the class for you. There is a lot of work to do, however Mrs. Cantrell is very funny and her lectures have all been super amusing. Make sure to go to all the lectures so you don't miss questions on the quizzes. If you're willing to put in the work, it'll reflect in your grade.

She is nice person but she seems very overly stressed about having a lecture class. You following the directions but not going above and beyond will grant you a C. In addition to having to go the extra mile for ALL her assignments, there are also plays you need to see which WILL cost you money and gas!

Professor Cantrell is a great professor. Even though she has 3 required plays for you to go to in the semester they really aren't that hard to do and sometimes they can be interesting. She tries her best to make lectures interesting. Take good notes for quizzes. Quizzes are easy and short and they are online so you can use your book.

There are mandatory plays to go see, big group project at the end that is a majority of your grade. If you do the work you should get a good grade, but it is time consuming.

She seems tough at first, but maybe it's the perception that you wanna make students fear you first that she tries to pursue. I don't know, but what I do know, is that she actually cares for you. You might want to hate her and all her assignments in the beginning but I promise, if you hold tight... at the end you will be thanking her. I did.

You will have to put on a play with your randomly-assigned group members as your final project. There are lectures throughout which will be tested on later (via lockdown browser). She is a "professional thespian" so she takes the class seriously. I would take her again, but she takes getting used to.

Cantrell is engaging, enjoyable, and no nonsense. She lays out everything for you and takes little pity on people in terms of grades. Attendance is only mandatory on group project days but you will fail the quizes if you do not go to the lectures, so you better go. I would take this class again no doubt.

If you go to class and participate class is more fun. If you get a bad group for your group project you are SOL! The theater performances are expensive but if you usher (like I did) you can go to all of them for free!

I love Kara she's an amazing person but 1107 is the most extra class I've ever taken. There's more work than should be and if you don't like theatre or group work do not take it. She's super chill though and there are quite a few extra credit opportunities.

Wonderful woman but likes to think that everyone is a theatre major. Tests are exactly what she says in her lectures so pay attention!! I failed every test but managed to make a B because of the group project.

The tests are taken from the lecture & textbook (she provides a link to the free online version). She takes this class seriously & expects you too as well. You will be required to see 3 plays so prepare yourself for that. The group project is worth a lot so cross your fingers for good group members.

Prof. Cantrell takes her class seriously and expects you to do so as well. Very nice, and knows her stuff. The group project is a major part of your grade so pray you get good group members. Lots of extra credit. I really enjoyed this class and if I ever needed another theater class in the future, I'd definitely take her.

Great teacher I highly recommend. The first couple months are boring but once you get in a group project it turns to your favorite class!

This professor is alright. The class at first was really boring and all you do is notes but it ends up being a chill class once the group project is the main focus. Don't stress about the group project to much as If you do it and complete it she gives you an A for it. Just put in the little work that is necessary and its an easy A

If you want an easy A, this is not the class for you but if you really like the arts and want to get the most out of this gen ed requirement, absolutely take this class. You'll go to awesome performances, learn a lot of neat theater history, and complete an insane but rewarding creative group project. It's a lot, but in the end, it was a good exp.

My favorite part about being in Professor Cantrell's class is you do something different everyday. Some days she lectures, some days we act, and she days we would work on our group projects. The only down side is you have to go to 5 plays outside of class on your own time, and some of the theaters are 45 minutes away.

Do not take this class if you dont have reliable transportation or extra money to spend on mandatory plays. Dont take if you dont want a lot of work. Class is really easy to pass if you go to all the plays and do the assignments for the plays. The final project is actually really fun though. You will pass if you do all work, not a hard grader

She is a great professor and funny too! She gives you quizzes that you have to complete and also a midterm ALL ONLINE. They are all based off of the lectures, so take notes and you will be fine. You'll have a group play where everyone must participate, and yes... you have to act. Just pay attention and you will be fine.

BIG group project that is your final and it basically half of your grade. Really easy A class though. Attendance is mandatory!

She tries to make her lectures interesting and assigns a big group project half way through the semester and..... it's great you rarely have to come to class and the project itself is super fun!

Very sweet lady. Entertaining lectures. Pretty disorganized but this works in your favor because if it's in the syllabus but she doesn't get around to it she just gives you a 100 on it. 75% of our class got an A. Group project is worth a lot of your grade though and you work on it for months.

This class is really one huge group project but luckily I was paired with an amazing group of people. I really enjoyed being able to direct my own play as it made for quite a fun experience. Professor. Cantrell was very down to earth. The tests are hard even with the textbook.

I love professor Cantrell. She always responds to emails and offers a good bit of extra credit. You have to attend 3 plays but they are pretty interesting, you also have to read 3 plays but they aren't very long. Her work is very easy if you pay attention and take notes. The lowest I have made on a quiz is an 80. Most of them come straight from ppt

She brings her personality to the class and does not make things unnecessarily difficult

She was nice and posted all of her lectures online. Quizzes are open notes and always very easy as well. Her final is a group project that takes up most of the semester and can be very easy with a good group, and she is understanding when some students don't participate in the group.

Nice and understanding professor, cares about theater and is very knowledgeable. Posts lecture notes online and has a clear and generous grading policy with a couple short papers and some easy quizzes. Large group project but she is very understanding wrt group members not pulling their weight. Do note you have to see three plays on campus.

great class. have to attend plays and write an essay about each with a prompt. enjoyed plays more than I thought, easy over all class lots of extra credit.

Genuinely loved her! She gave interesting lectures, had actual experience in the theater industry and had funny stories to tell. She doesn't give tests and her quizzes don't involve lockdown browser. There are 3 plays you have to pay to see. Group project at the end of the semester that accounts for 30% of your grade. 3 freebie attendance days.

She's really a hit or miss kinda gal depending on who you ask. If you stay on top of the few things you would be expected to do in any class, you should be good. NEVER be late, like not even by 1 minute because, "you're late by about 7 minutes in theatre." You better keep track'a mini quizes cus there's no making them up. She's funny and cool tho.

Quizzes are open note and are tied to the textbook and lecture. Final is a group project that counts for a portion of the grade and can be very fun. If you miss enough class, points will be deducted from your grade. She has major writing assignments over the plays you are required to attend, but they are manageable. She offers extra credit as well.

If you have the option to take this class, you should take it. It was probably the easiest class I have ever taken, and Professor Cantrell is such a great teacher. The second half of the semester mainly focuses on a group project, which was really fun. You get 3 unexcused absences and then 5 points off your total grade, so attendance isn't crazy.

Her Theatre in Society class was really easy. All of the quiz questions are from the notes, and she always posts them. You also always get two attempts. You have to read a couple plays and spend money to go see a couple to write reflections on. The only thing is that you get three free absences before your grade is affected. Super easy class though

This professor was great! Her class was fun and easy. There is a group project at the end where you will have to act a scene from a play, but even that was made fun and simple. There's also quizzes about the textbook and you'll have a few plays to read, but it's not to difficult.
