Worst teacher at JSU by far!! Her lectures are confusing, she doesn't answer questions thoroughly and she doesn't use blackboard or GEM. Overall, I wouldn't recommend taking her class.

I do not recommend taking her intro class. She is very unorganized and her lectures are hard to understand. Great lady, but she suck as a teacher.

Comment:

Susan is a brilliant, vastly underrated artist and teacher. Hard work is always appreciated in her classes and yes, spelling counts on all test, but if you can't spell then go back to high school. Her acting classes are not for people who expect to get a pat on the back but rather for people who want to work on their craft and grow as artists.

Woman is crazy. Absolutely crazy. If you're taking Acting 1, wait to do it in the fall with Traynor, not McCain.

Comment:

Mrs. Mccain is not an easy teacher! However, if you listen to her the day before the test and take good notes this class is very easy to get through, don't take the class if you are expecting an easy A, do take if you would like to earn your A. :)

Comment:

Ms. McCain is wonderful. She can't stand people who come into the class expecting an A without the work. She is NOT biased to drama majors, because I am NOT a drama major and I made an A while several drama majors did not pass. She must just like talented people. Hate it.

Comment:

She's an awesome teacher! She's tell things like they are and she doesn't put up with lazy people. I really appreciate that because I actually try my best and she makes the class fair by not making exceptions for the lazy people who make up excuses for not doing their work. She gives tons of extra credit and because of her I now enjoy the theater!

DO NOT TAKE HER FOR INTRO TO THEATRE! If you are an actor and you take her for something like that then good for you. Have at i, but her theatre class is HARD. Its notes notes notes and she has not mercy. Imposible to talk to and no extra credit. Tests are a nightmare.

Comment:

I don't know why Ms. McCain is teaching at JSU. She should be acting in a professional theatre! She's hard on students when she sees they have unharnessed potential, & I'm thankful for that. If you don't like her, it must be because acting just isn't your thing at all! She can bring out the actor in you if you do what she says. Love her!!!

Here is the scoop. No! She is not easy. Yes she can be hard to understand. But she is a AMAZING ACTOR! I watched as people thought it was an easy A quickly understand that it wasn't. She doesn't like lazy people and THIS IS COLLEGE PEOPLE! Expect to work. I promise if you put forth the effort and don't make excuses she will love you
