Reviews of professor Theresia de Vroom

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Incredible knowledge of Shakespeare and his plays.  Makes reading Shakespeare fun and interesting (which isn't always the easiest read language-wise)!! You also will watch a few of the plays' movies. Thought provoking plays will often relate to current events in conversation and class discussion. Reading is the only homework and 3 recitations!

At first she made the class seemed like it wasn't going to be that bad. it is THAT BAD. Heavy lecture and goes through the material so freaking quick. Switches up her syllabus like 3x. Unclear on the final, and didn't help during office hours. DO NOT take this course with her. I came in loving Shakespeare and now I'm so glad it's over.

Goes too fast on material, expects you to participate but then interrupts to say her opinion on the material. Do yourself a favor and take someone else for this course because she is a very biased professor

if you love Shakespeare don't take this course because you will end up hating it. i came in ready to read plays but she ruins the course with her biased opinions along with rude remarks. do yourself a favor and just study abroad for this course.

shes a very hard **** teacher and plays favorites. even if you think you have worked hard in the class she will tell you you didnt do enough.

I took de Vroom for Tragedies. Honestly the best class I've ever taken and definitely one of my favorite LMU professors. I learned a lot. De Vroom is really good at making Shakespeare relatable and understandable.  I always looked forward to this class.  If you read the plays and talk in class you're in good shape.
