Comment:

It was hard to follow to take notes. He would skip around and go back to topics you've already talked about. We watched videos that were apart of quizzes, but not the final. When the final hit, it was over chapters we were supposed to teach ourselves and had questions that were never covered. BUY THE ONLINE BOOK, THERE'S A SEARCH BAR.

Comment:

Jim is passionate & friendly and willing to help if you need it. We were graded on attendance. If you take intro to theatre, you need to see some performances and work on school plays outside of class. He's an easy grader but his tests are open book and huge so every minute of the test counts, do the written answers first. It was a fun class!

He's a nice guy and it's an easy class but it is pretty boring. Just go to class and do the assignments. Put in a little effort and you will get a good grade.

This guy is GREAT! I didn't know what to think of him at first but he grew on me a lot. Especially once you learn more about him. He very clearly loves the theatre and is very knowledgeable on the subject.

Comment:

He is knowledgeable and informative in many facets of Theatre and treats all the students with respect. It is evident that he has the most experience and is the most qualified Theatre Instructor at TCC! Many are disappointed he is not allowed to teach Acting II, due to the widely disliked new Acting II instructor, Battilega.

Always a wonderful and colorful person to be around. He strives to bring the best out in his students. He is a laid back guy who is always willing to listen to his students ideas so that his shows can be the greatest show it can be.
