- **5/5 · 2022-11** — THTR 200 has one easy midterm and two very easy assignments, and most classes involve fun activities like working on a play and learning acting methods.

- **2020-04** — Sahar is an amazing instructor: very passionate and the class is fun. The course itself is not a walk in the park; it's a bit demanding. It goes through the basics of theater and its elements then tackles the evolution of theater throughout history. We had 3 small quizzes, a paper, a presentation and a final. As for grades, she is very lenient and always suggests extra work for bonus points. It's great course if you have interest in the subject.

- **2020-04** — Took it Nazha, she's amazing teacher & she gives really high grades

- **2020-04** — Sahar is amazing, and it is an easy & enjoyable course
