When I first signed up for this class, I though it was an acting class, but no, and I wasn't the only one. The first thing the professor said was "just know that this is not an acting class!" If you're disappointed, don't worry, it's a very interesting class which is easy to pass if you do the work. And you'll love the professor, she's gold :)

Sarah doesn't know how to speak/write English very well so if you take the online version of this course her power points will be riddled with grammatical errors. The thing that is kind of frustrating is that all her notes, and power point have the same thing written in three different ways. I didn't bother to buy the textbook and passed with an A.

i'm not done with the semester yet but I like it so far. some exercices are challenging and force you to think outside the box. You have to read some plays and watch some cool videos. the professor is easy to reach out.

She is a great professor, she is very nice and teaches really well. There are quizzes that are not too hard, discussions that are not bad.. I forgot to do some but that was because I thought it was due a different week, and because of covid I didnt have to go to a play, I just had to watch a play called Macbeth and then write about it.

I liked the class and teacher, taught me a lot. She responds to emails quickly,which is appreciated because I have another teacher who took *weeks* just to respond to one. I'd recommend it.

This is my second time taking Intro to Theater and Professor Verron Bassetti helped me understand theatre history much better than my other professor. She is clear and organized and actually teaches and gives good feedback on the assignments. Recommend!!!

Professor Verron-Bassetti was super nice and even tho I never personally reached out she seemed to care about her students. The work was very easy to manage, even online, there was at least one assignment due a week but they weren't hard. However, you will be reading a couple plays and there's 1 essay. Both the final and midterm were very easy :)

She really didn't like anything I wrote, even though I did everything that she wanted me to write for her discussions; she is also not really helpful at all and doesn't like helping much; she tends to be "sorry you missed it, nothing Ill do anyway". As soon as you miss an assignment, she will drop your grade hard. not a fun teacher

Good course, not so hard. She gives extra credit and accepts late works with a grade penalty. We had two assignments each week, one essay and one final exam. Also her feedbacks are very helpful. If you don't pass you're really not trying.

This professor is very straightforward and if you need help understanding something, do not hesistate to reach out, she will answer your questions. Everything is laid out easily so that we understand what is expected of us. The workload isn't overwhelming and the media we use throughout the semester is very entertaining. I enjoyed it very much.

She is pretty hands off for the online course. Sends a reminder of weekly due dates, but comes across as automated as they came during break and shutdown of campus due to hurricanes as well. She does not accept late work, so assignments, discussions & quizzes must be submitted on time. Fair amount to read, some interesting videos to watch.

I had no idea what to expect when I signed up for this course. She is strict but exceptionally fair and knowledgeable about theater. She explains what she expects of us and what we should expect from her. She always clarifies why we are assigned different grades. I liked all the notes and videos that were provided instead of just having a book.

The most important thing required is for you to attend a live performance and do an essay about it. There was always a quiz or two due a week and/ or a discussion post. Your grade reflects the work that you put in. Professor Bassetti can be a tough grader but I do highly recommend. Easy Humanities Core credit.

She gives you the ability to work ahead too! 1 Performance Critique and 1 Final Exam. Most assignments can be found on Quizlet to help too.. lol. This class is an easy 'A' and I would recommend it.
