I cannot recommend this class enough! The class was asynchronous but there were 4 extra credit live sessions mixed throughout the quarter. The lectures were genuinely fun to watch and really engaging. There were also a few guest lecturers who added new perspectives to the course based on the topic/theme of the plays that week. Each week we had to do a quiz based on that week's lectures, a discussion board, and two replies. Some of the plays we had to read were a bit longer than others so I would recommend starting on the work earlier in the week if you can. There was also a Midterm and Final which tested your understanding of the connections between the various plays you read. The exams were more difficult than the quizzes but were doable. The exams were open note so the best thing to do is to take solid notes when you watch the lectures the first time. Overall, I really loved the class and would recommend anyone take it, even if you aren't a theater buff.
