I took this class as a GE. The only thing I can say it changed in my understanding was: (1) a lot of people work to put on a play, (2) facts, from all ranges of theater are stuck in my head, ready to decay away. Professor Gorshein was very helpful via email; my TA, not so much. This is a reasonable class to take online over the summer, and I would recommend it if you want more time during the regular quarters.

This was a really fun GE to take over summer. The TAs were fun as was the professor. It consisted of two or three 40 minute lectures per week and about 3 screenings total, each around 1:30. Honestly, most people could probably bypass this if you do the reading and vice versa. The fact that it is all online is very helpful.

As a science major and took this class for GE requirement, I found it not easy as people said. However, if you spend enough time to read the textbook and do all the assignments to keep up with the class, you will be fine. I had no previous knowledge of theater and my interest was not so high as well. But after I finished the class, I have a great appreciation for theater and I really think theater 10 was a great experience at UCLA.

Love Prof Gorshein! takes the time to know his students and a kind soul

If you're looking for an easy GE with a great professor I'd highly recommend this class.

it was okay i guess. but i hated the lectures tho. the professor is so...idk abstract? his lectures are so disorganized and it's really hard to find all the important points in his lectures

Extremely easy class. Didn't read any of the plays for the final and still got a 49/50. Class can be borings at times but overall it's good and fun.

LOVED Dr. Gorshein. He kept the class extremely engaging, the 2 hours just flew by. The amount of homework is completely manageable and his lectures were super interesting. He tried to know everyone's name by the end of the quarter which made the class feel like a family. The midterm covered only 3/4 of what we learned the first half of the quarter and the final only covered half of what we learned post-midterm (and was extremely straightforward). Highly recommend this class as an easy and super interesting GE if you're into theater!
