Reviews of professor Steve Sherman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Steve isn't my favorite but he's not terrible. We had some issues with communication but in the end, it was resolved. His class is easier if you enjoy theatre but as long as you do your assignments (he has lots of in-class work, attendance isn't mandatory but I'd recommend it), study for exams, and put in effort on the final project you'll do fine.

Steve is very understanding and a great teacher. It's a great class. I am taking away lots of good memories and I made some good friends. Also getting an A thanks to extra credit. I learned a lot and the group project and tests were not difficult at all. People just like to complain.

If you're reading his reviews and are scared about the course... you should be. Please go to the two extra credit plays and you'll have a good grade in this class. Go to every class, study for the exams, and work on the group project as soon as you get the assignment. It's not impossible to get an A but you'll have to do more work than you thought.

Not what I was expecting from a Freshman Level Theater class. This class was more difficult than my major-related classes. Watching the plays and writing papers are so extensive. The group projects were taken way too seriously. He is made to teach advanced theater students, not people who just need to fill a credit.

Professor Sherman is a great professor, he is smart, and can sometimes be a little annoying in my opinion. There are not many assignments, I would recommend taking good notes though. There's a final project, but as long as you cooperate with your group, and try, you'll do well.

I would not recommend this class unless you are pursuing theater. Steve is a very tough grader, and you have to commit a lot of time outside of class to watch plays. And if you miss one, your grade is basically tanked. He also rarely responds. I do not recommend this class at all.

Give him the benefit of the doubt, THEA100 is just an annoying class.

He treats us like we are theater majors.  If you want to take this class, be prepared to do a lot of work and receive a bad grade, especially when it comes to the final project in his class. Not considerate of students' emails!

Favorite Gen Ed I've taken. Exams are easy and he goes over them in class before you take them. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Saw some good plays and he gave another for extra credit. It's not hard.

Fantastic professor! Teaches with enthusiasm and care and really engages the class during performances. A ton of fun to take a class with
