Comment:

If you're on his good side you're golden, he'll accept your late assignments without taking points from the grade. Full of *sometimes* interesting stories, goes off on tangents from time to time, but they're all theatre related. Pretty interesting class and I'd recommend it to people who dont mind reading 4-5 plays

Comment:

He has favorites, but the students he likes are the ones that show up, and turn in work on time. He's a facinating man who really wants to help, you just have to ask and he'll go to bat for a student %100. Only take the class if you're interesting in playwriting, otherwise he will bore you to tears.

Approachable and friendly. Tries to help all that he can with class discussions, conferences, movie clips and assigned reading but it is mostly up to you to possess writing talent. If you have the ambition to write a screenplay, take him.

The best class I've taken. Made me understand what a story was and how film works. I want to take more so I can finish my screenplay. What about a screenwriting II?!!

Comment:

Outstanding! Best class ever! Interesting and relevant. Great sense of humor. Dr. Ashley keeps you thinking and makes it easy to learn the complex topics of contemporary theatre. His encouragement and guidance will help you to blossom as a writer or performer. Do the papers (very short) and expect to come out of his class a better person - really!

Comment:

Great class! I was not looking forward to it and was a little unsure in the beginning...but he is great! Always helpful...responds quickly to questions and concerns and returns papers the next class. Great use of contemporary plays to illustrate the components of script analysis. Ended up loving this class even if it was required.

Franklin is the best. Ignore the comment below. I learned so much from the new plays that it made me see that theatre is still alive. I'm major too! Take him!

Franklin is an awful professor. I am a thrt major and he is one of the worst professors for script anal. If you're looking for an easy class then this is it. If you are looking to learn something about the art of theatre, then please take Mark Landis!

It's remarkable that so many of us in one class got so many awards. I really didn't think I could write plays, but he has a way of making me believe. I'll never forget it.

HIs Script Analysis class is so much fun, and he picks some of the best plays to read. He's such a nice guy and will listen to anything you have to say and totally understands if you have problems with something. TAKE HIS CLASS!

One of the best ever. A combination of theory and practice. Does not play favorites, but is willing to give anyone a chance.
