Reviews of professor Lauren Reinhard

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lauren's office is the place I always go when I need a professor's help. I really think most of the professors care a lot about us but Lauren has proven so many times that she is really here for us. Sometimes that has meant advocating for me and sometimes it's meant holding me accountable when I don't show up like I should. You can count on her.

Is not clear on how she grades or what is fully expected from the students in a production lab. Actively told me my choices were incorrect for my character when the director loved my choices. Be prepared to write at least 25+ pages or fail. Sets up guidelines that were nearly impossible to follow and we had to pressure her into a possible plab

The people who complain about Lauren are the lazy people who don't like to do the work. Is she easy? No, but college shouldn't be easy. She is totally transparent about her grading and if you follow the syllabus you WILL get an A. She cares so much, she's honest, and she tells you what you need to hear. Lauren is a great resource for us!

Lauren was one of my favorite professors freshman year! I was initially worried because everyone made it seem like we should try and get into Dave's class, but I ended up being SO glad I stayed in Lauren's class. I learned so much from them. They are so so knowledgeable and great about respecting your needs and boundaries in class.

Lauren is the best teacher I had last year, hands down. She was an amazing acting teacher, she is so smart, she created a safe environment in class, she explained things thoroughly, and she pushed me harder than I thought I could be pushed. I had her only in the spring semester and though I liked the teacher I had in the fall, she was WAY better.

Laurens Devising class is amazing, it made me see theatre making completely differently. She really pushes you to think outside the box and stretch as an artist. It is so inspiring to be in class with a teacher who is so invested in us as artists and what we have to say. Lauren is so smart and class is really fun! I love her that woman!!!

There isn't anyone who teaches more independent studies than Lauren, everyone wants to work with her & she knows about everything it seems! I took an independent study with her & it was one of the most valuable experiences of my 4 years at Post. She cared so much about helping me make my project & was invaluable to it's creation. I am so thankful.

The requirements for plab for each professor are the same so Lauren's plab is no harder than anyone else's. Her expectations are laid out on her syllabus if you read it. Some people don't like to do the work so they complain but it's not her fault. She is the best advisor I've had, she's the most available and gives the most helpful feedback.
