Extremely underrated class. Dr. Passanante's lectures can be rambly, but are still enjoyable to listen to since he's so passionate about the content, like the other reviews said. You read six plays across the semester and don't even have to buy the books if you just read a copy online and take notes during the lecture. You only have to do two papers and the final and as long as you follow the prompts, it's not bad at all. You don't need any previous experience with Shakespeare, he and the TAs do a great job of explaining what's going on in the plays. Highly recommend. |

Dr. Passannante is a very engaging professor and his lectures are usually entertaining and informative. I am always surprised by how fast the 50 minutes go by. The plays are all interesting and he explains them in a way that makes sense. I love his passion for Shakespeare and even if you have no experience with Shakespeare in the past, he can help you discover the meaning behind these plays. |

He is a very passionate and genuine guy, but the lectures were boring. The TA did the most important work, but if you understand Shakespeare enough you'll do fine. By able to read about six plays over the course of the semester. |

Dr. Passannante is great and incredibly passionate about Shakespeare. Lectures involve him going over important themes and messages in various plays, and are not too bad unless you absolutely despise any amount of Shakespeare analysis. He is open to talking about anything Shakespeare-related, and really wants everyone to find and realize the magic and connection he has with it. 2 relatively short essays due across the semester, not too bad and he can certainly help you out with starting it if you don't understand the prompt or the plays. I personally don't care much for Shakespeare but still appreciated him and the TAs. |
