I'm a theater minor who took this course as an upper division elective and I loved it. Paul is a great teacher. I'm often very critical of theater courses, because it's such a subjective art form that no one really knows how to do anything and nothing from one teacher should be assumed to translate to another teacher. However, Paul was fantastic. He was very specific and clear.

The first half of the class focuses on monologues and the second half focuses on scenes with partners. Every class (which lasts about 2 hours), about 2-4 people/groups will get up in front of the class and work on their piece in front of everyone, which Paul stopping them every 0.3 seconds to interject with a critique. However, these critiques are truly incredible. He provides such specific critiques that, once you get used to and hear, make whatever you're saying sound so much more realistic. This class was basically like getting to watch performances all the time.

It's also not an easy A. While most of the class got A-'s (and I don't think anyone got below that), very few people got A's. Paul requires a lot of improvement to dish out an A. I would say that, as long as you attend the class and put in a bare minimum amount of effort, you're guaranteed at least an A-.

Paul is very chill, often quite funny, and very understanding and lax. His class is incredibly fun to be apart of, and easily my favorite theater class I've ever taken at UCLA. He clearly knows what he's talking about and is an incredible acting coach. Really loved this class. If you're interesting in acting at all in any capacity and have a free space in your schedule, you should take this class. He requires (as of right now) no PTE #s, no auditions, etc. As long as you use your first pass on enrolling into this class, you should be fine.
