Reviews for Theodore B. Leinwand
Average Rating:| Jessica Lee Archer Course: ENGL304 Grade Expected: B December 13, 2011, 9:46 am | I though that this teacher's expectations were too high, the reading was too demanding for me personally. If you have o take this class I recommend fining audio books on project Gutenberg. The only reason I took off stars was because my TA was unhelpful, and graded waaay to harshly. I'm not taking Shakespeare again. |

I wasn't a huge Shakespeare fan to begin with, but he has made me love it and appreciate the plays more than I ever have before. Leinwand reminds me of why I became an English major. If you have the chance, take his class, you won't be sorry! |

I was intoxicated every class. He uses humor and his vast knowledge to engage the class. All you have to do is read the plays and pay attention in class. The final was directly from his lectures. Oh, when I read the plays, I read them while I watched a performance online. It was much more helpful in my understanding. |

| SAK2011 Course: ENGL304 Grade Expected: A December 14, 2009, 4:54 pm | Professor Leinwand is awesome. His lectures are exciting and informative. He is funny and makes the material easily understandable. The class has a fairly light workload. You'll read about 7 plays during the semester and each one has a short 300 word take home quiz that's really easy if you do the reading. There are two papers and one pretty easy final. I'd definitely recommend this class. |
| banders8 Course: ENGL304 Grade Expected: B March 2, 2009, 3:01 pm | He's a great Professor. His lectures are very informative and interesting. The work load is perfect, hardly any work. Great class to take! |
| atrylindin Course: ENGL304 Grade Expected: December 30, 2008, 2:16 pm | This class was a wonderful experience! Professor Leinwand gave two background lectures on theatre in Shakespeare's time, and lectured on eight plays that the class read. His lectures were engaging and interesting. ENGL304 was my favorite class of the term. Assignments included reading the 8 plays, which was perfect and easy to keep up with, two papers, and a 300 word quiz on each play. I got a lot out of this course and the workload was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend! |
