This course is really interesting. 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.
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.
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
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!
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
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!!
