Comment:

Haha...I wouldn't recommend this professor to anyone if my life depended on it! He is the worst professor I have ever had! He is so disorganized and boring. The tests are absolutely ridiculously difficult and do not pertain to the lectures whatsoever. To get a decent grade on the tests, you need to know the book chapters by heart. Do not take him!

He is the worst prof i have ever had a GVSU. he is very unclear with what he expects on assignments. he is quirky and very boring during his lectures. his test are impossible unless you are a thespian. it is definitely way to hard of a class compared to what it should be. i do not recommend him at all, i do however recommend professor mayberry.

Lectures are VERY UNORGINIZED. Leaves assignments open-ended. Tests suck if you dont know exactly what to study. Not very specific. Kinda quirky.

One of the coolest people around. If you ask him to tell you a story, he will in a heart-beat. I hope that you take his class, I would again.

Are you kidding me. There is way to many things required for this class. it is just a theater 101 class ! He is very annoying and unorganized. His lectures put 1/2 of the class asleep. Exams are easy but stayig awake in class is the challenge !

Good guy. To do well, you need to have excellent writing skills. Many in class got upset because he left many assignments open ended and up to you to write 'your mind'. He doesn't hold your hand and walk you through the papers. *his penmanships sucks*

Show up for each class. No need to really take notes. Read the *short* plays each week. He's a funny guy who spends most of the time trying to get a response out of the students. Write 2 good papers, do some extra credit, you'll be FINE.

Comment:

WORST CLASS EVER TAKEN AT GVSU. He doesn't even try to make class interesting. Takes attendance just to make people come to class. Only one day for office hours - friday. Be prepared to fall asleep during lecture. If you take, take it pass/fail.

Comment:

This is a very easy class, LOTS of extra credit you can get. His lectures end up all over the boards and it's hard to follow. That's the only complaint I really had. He's energetic though, and it can be fun. He's a nice, easy going guy.

The professors is scattered and unfocused in his lectures. While he may be an excellent technical director for the theatre program, he should not be teaching.

Lectures are waste of time for the most part. Doesnt know what he is saying half the time but the class is suppose to understand. Assignments are rediculous and pointless! Lots of busy work!

Prof. Collins is very unorganized and is hard to find respect for. He has a lot of positive energy, but grades analysis papers tough. Read the book and go to class. It's not that tough.
