This class is so easy, all you do is write 2 play critiques. You have one written test the whole year and hse gives you all the answers on the review. The final is a short script of about two minutes. Nothing serious. Leslie's has a great personality ans is extremelly funny. She makes drama fun.

Leslie is a cool professor. She really appreciates the fine arts. There is no textbook and most of the class is lectures and or movies she plays. your grade is mainly made up of quizzes, which are pretty easy if you show up to the lectures. 1 critique due at end of semester that is doable. attendance isn't mandatory but you should probably go.

Super cool and easy going professor, just don't talk when she's talking it's rude and she won't take it lightly. Show up and listen, she's super interesting and funny so that won't be hard. Watched 3 films in class and 3 quizzes, 1 midterm, and 1 final, a critic essay on a play, 3-4 pages & get extra credit by showing up to class. Def. rec :)
