Easy class if you put the effort in to memorize the 10 page study guides and go to all the assigned plays, and go to class for the clickers, two papers graded pretty harshly, 2nd one is optional, extra credit available.

This guy's really not a good professor. He loves what he teaches but is extremely rude to everyone in every class. Save yourself and take another easy A class.

hes a funny guy but I took this class for an easy A and he sends us 10 page study guides for exams that are actually really specific and hard in my opinion. have to go to class for the clickers, have to attend 3 plays and take quizzes on them, 2 papers, and 3 exams but no final. he will call u out in the middle of class too

Comment:
This class is not hard at all but the professor is a complete jerk. He is rude to students all the time during lecture and especially rude to his TA in a joke of a class. He thinks he knows everything when he's talking to people, but most of the time he is wrong. He's ignorant, painful to listen to, and most of all stupid.

Pretty annoying class went just for the clicker points. Gives you a study guide that you have to literally memorize in order to do well on the exam. Not as easy as I thought it would be.

Carlsen is the man. He has somewhat of an aggressive teaching style which can be annoying, but 1 on 1 he's a really nice guy and cares about you if you're passionate about theater/acting (which most of his students aren't and are only taking for a requirement). Do your work, participate, and express interest and you'll have a good experience.

Fun class and I learned some history despite the theatre title. Dr. Carlsen is a very funny guy and I did enjoy the course although the strict attendance policy may be annoying.

Took THEA104 for an easy A. Offers extra credit, memorize the study guide for exams. TA loved to hear himself talk, and Carlsen is very condescending.

Comment:
Professor Carlsen will not respond to emails before exams or in a timely manner at all and when he does, the responses are very condescending. The class is an easy A, but the professors and TA seem to enjoy putting students down and spend about 30% of the lecture yelling at students and talking about how rude everyone is. would not recommend.

Go to class on time! clicker question at the beginning and end of class. 3 exams with detailed study guides, 2 papers, 3 quizzes for shows you have to see, and opportunities for extra credit are given! Prof Carlsen is hilarious and will call out students if they are being obnoxious/ doing something he doesnt like. Don't skip class its mandatory!!!

Such an easy class. Gives you a very detailed study guide the week of the exam and if you read it like 3 times you should get an A on the test. Make sure you go to class to get clicker points and do the papers and two quizzes.

I, like most people in this course, took THEA104 for an easy A. However, I also really enjoyed the material that was covered. The 3 hour lectures could drag along some days but Professor Carlsen was pretty good at keeping our attention. The exams come straight from the study guides and there are extra credit opportunities if you need it.

Pretty easy class, but boring. Few assignments, but the directions for assignments are extremely detailed and excessive. I took the 3 hour lecture because I'd read that he was funny, but every class felt endless & I could not wait to leave. I actually thought that he was condescending & rude; he loves to embarrass students.
