Comment:

Wonderful professor! Kind, laid-back, funny. His lectures are clear, fun, and easy, and teach you a ton of great stuff about theater without much stress. You have to write a paper and several reviews of UVa plays, but I enjoyed seeing the plays and the papers aren't graded hard. Come to class, since exams are easy but based on lectures.

Comment:

One of my favorite profs@UVA: smart, enthusiastic, an all-around cool person. He's extremely approachable + pretty laid back. Playwriting coursework isn't too heavy (a few scenes per month). He always creates a fun atmosphere- no one is ever afraid 2share their stuff. good for any1 interested in writing, theater, or a fun break from reg. classes.

Comment:

I think the whole basketball team was in it when I took it. Very easy class as long as you attend every lecture. Only need to do the reading when he says he's going to discuss a particular play.

Comment:

easy class. boring at times, but is just based on facts; no theoretical bs. tempting to skip class, but try not to b/c thats where the tests (multi-choice) come from. easy paper grader and doens't take attendence. i suggest taking it, esp if u want to raise ur GPA.

Comment:

Easy, fun class. Grissom is understanding, helpful, and a fairly lenient grader. Tests are multiple choice. Attending class is the best way to make an A because tests come straight from notes and in-class presentations.

Sure, it's a gut, but if you put in some effort you can learn a lot about the theater.
