Gary is interesting, I'll tell you that. The class was fun because he's really knowledgeable and extremely passionate about musical theater. He randomly dances and sings in class, and it's quite entertaining. The only problem I had was that his random tangents deterred me away from the material I needed to write down. Pay VERY CLOSE attention to his lecture and make sure you write everything down! It's really important for the pop quizzes. And keep your notes organized from the start! I ended up getting a B in the class because it was never clear what I needed to write down. Write it all. It's interesting and fun, but you have to do your part.
