Comment:
Ed is the most intelligent individual I have ever come across. He cares more about students than any professors I have ever come across. He prepares his students by making them work hard and teaches important lessons every day. His classes aren't easy but this is to prepare you for work in the field. He knows everything about theatre and teaches it

Great teacher; makes you work for a good grade, but really cares about your education. As long as you keep up a line of communication with him he is always willing to help you improve. You will learn a lot from him in the classes you take; a stickler for attendance however.

Ed is pretty fair and very thorough. His theatre history classes are usually very informative and encourage discussion. Playwriting is something he could probably use a little more experience in, but he's good nonetheless. Directing I is a great class, that's really his forte. The nice thing about his classes is that he hands you a complete and (re

His theatre history classes are great -- he uses a wider range of teaching methods than any prof I've met -- has high, fair expectations, and will improve your writing, no matter how good you think you already are.

He's a good prof when he knows what he's talking about, but sometimes it's obvious that he's completely lost. Awkward and indirect at times, addicted to email.

A lot of work, but once you get the hang of his classes they are not bad. Ed's entertaining and the reconstruction projects are hilarious. I learned the most from my research papers.

Ed will make you work hard to gain his respect. However, you will learn how to write a perfect paper in his theatre history classes.

Ed seems nice enough but definately plays favorites and tends to be very unclear about exactly what he wants from you in terms of papers. Nice guy and definately interested in his students.

Ed is an intelligent and dedicated educator, he does have some odd social mannerisms that can put some students off. But beneath them is a one of the best teachers I have ever had.

Tends to assign busywork -- one- to two-page assignments that don't really contribute to a better understanding of the material. Very enthusiastic, though, and a very helpful and friendly person.
