Reviews of professor Zachary Steel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He is only one of the best professors at USC. I chose this class as an easy GE-A and I am not disappointed. He is super funny and there is only one big paper as the final. Other than that, the class is an easy A and make sure to participate.

Really great professor who is super funny and tries to make the class engaging. Lots of reading, but not always necessary to do. The lectures sometimes did get boring, and TA's can be a bit harsh grading papers, but it's definitely a good GE class to take and I would definitely recommend, especially if you take the class with a friend.

Zach is so cool! He played Gibson on ANT Farm, and his comedic knowledge shows. He puts in so much effort to make every class interesting and thought-provokingtake his class!

This class was one of the best things about my week. Zach is such an amazing professor and he is so funny. There was never a dull time during his class and it was basically two hours of just laughing and joking around doing improv. I 100% recommend this class, even if you are not really into acting or theater!

Take this professor if you can! He's funny!! Truly wants students to understand how to analyze comedy.
Very lenient grader, he is more focused on your learning. Doesn't put unnecessary academic pressure on students. Tries to form relationships with each kid. My best professor this year. (Lecture can get boring unfortunately)

Prof oftentimes showed up to class late, kind of wastes time (20 to 30 minutes in the beginning of class) that could be used to actually teach. Easy class though, everyone got an A.

Zach is the absolute best! I have learned so much from him and his feedback is great. He is so funny and loves to joke around with the class and makes everyone feel like we're all equals to him. The main goal of the class is to combine comedy and realism which is extremely useful. If I could take every class with Zach I would.

Funny. That's it. Just kidding. He is a great teacher and gives great advise. However, I do feel a disconnection with him while he was teaching. Doesn't respond to e-mails. During lectures, he does have the fundamentals down for actors and is able to clearly teach to bring the class together. Intimidating in the beginning but he is a big softie.

Funny, humble guy. I'm pursuing comedy and this class was required for a GE, so the course is geared towards the study and analysis of comedy, but it's a fun and educational experience nevertheless. He takes attendance so show up to class. The readings are informative but if you take notes on the lectures, you shouldn't have to worry about them.
