Comment:

A mean-spirited person. She had favorites, and only cold indifference or mild distain for everyone else. I cannot express how much I regret ever meeting her.

Comment:

Betsy is mind-blowingly awesome, but you really have to step outside your box and put in crazy effort to get respect from her. She definitely gets one or two favorite students in each class, though. If your not one, she can come across as judgmental and mean-sprited, but she's just trying to spur you to better things.

Comment:

I can't begin to explain how much I did not enjoy Betsy's class. She was only wanted to see what she personally liked. It was a class about Betsy, a class about her bragging about the previous shows she has directed instead of trying to help US, the students. It is really ridiculous how awful this class and her teaching style was.

Comment:

Five years after graduation, I'm still inspired by my classes and conversations with Betsy. She's one of the best things about that department, because she looks to world theatre and pushes the envelope. Not everyone digs her. Being pushed by someone is challenging, and some don't like to be challenged in the way she pushes. I dig her.

****ed, intelligent, has a crackling laugh. Throws out eloquent speeches. She's inspiring, but never sentimental.

Comment:

Amazing teacher for directing and great for 4th-year seminar as well. Betsy's classes were the most important ones I took as far as growth and intellectual/artistic development are concerned. She opened my eyes to amazing things.
