It helps you develop your own play while simultaneously learning the art of playwriting through readings and watching other plays. The are assignments to do other than the play, which include critiques. There are also sometimes quizzes about the readings done for each week. Milia is also a great instructor and she's really passionate about the theatre, so this course is a very enjoyable experience. - **ENGL 251 · 2020-04** — Really fun, go for it! do your work and you'll get an easy 90 - **ENGL 251 · 2020-04** — Most fun course I had in AUB. I got 89. The teacher is so friendly! - **ENGL 251 · 2020-04** — It is a very interesting course, but you have to be committed to doing the assignments. You'll have readings to read on a regular basis which you might be quizzed about, 4-5 plays to watch and critique, and a final play to submit. However, it really changes your perspective in that it heightens your senses and builds teamwork through the theater-oriented exercises. - **ENGL 251 · 2020-04** — Average workload you have 1 assignment every other week with a final paper at the end of the course i think this course is a great investment in yourself as you'll grasp the fundamentals of the english language i took in spring and i got a 67 so yea i think it's an amazing english elective - **ENGL 251 · 2020-04** — An amazing course to take with Milia! She makes you write your own play alongside a few play reflections and exercises to complete. You can guarantee an excellent grade if you work really hard! - **ENGL 251 · 2020-04** — Milia Makes all her courses interesting and 251 was interesting and nice and her classes are all fun. Workload is average but you will end up with high grades. It’s recommended - **ENGL 251 · 2020-04** — It’s a very interesting course, one of the best I’ve taken. Milia’s approach is very theatrical and makes you really aware of your surroundings. You’ll end up paying attention to the smallest of details and learning how to be present in the moment. However, there are regular assignments to be completed, and the professor might seem a bit strict in the beginning. As long as you show up on time and are responsible and attentive, you’ll really enjoy this course and hopefully won’t regret it!! - **ENGL 236 · 2020-04** — It is an interesting course and you can get good grades depending on the teacher however. It's very eye-opening and makes you grow as a person. Minimal workload - **ENGL 236 · 2020-04** — Definitely recommend her for that course - **ENGL 236 · 2020-04** — There is workload but her class is really fun and it’s different. I highly recommend it - **ENGL 236 · 2020-04** — she’s amazing and makes the classes so fun - **ENGL 236 · 2020-04** — The instructor's approach is unique; it’s very theatre-oriented and subjects you to new activities. - **ENGL 219 · 2020-04** — It depends on the instructor. I’m taking it now with Milia, and with her it’s all about Russian movies, most of them are silent, black and white movies (very boring). No midterm, no final, a final paper, many papers throughout the semester, long readings and movies to watch, and drop quizzes in class. ## See also - [All AUB professors](https://studiety.com/aub/professors.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
