Theater Studies TS1101E

I must say, this has got to be the best module that has happened to me. Not only is the content what I've always been interested in, the practicals are fun, the tutors fantastic, and the students wild. All that combined makes it a superb learning experience. Hell, I don't even feel that I'm taking a module; I feel like I'm just there to have fun.

Theory classes might be a boring experience for some, but with my tutor, Dr Bernard Turner, no classes can be boring. It might be his odd sense of humour, or the way he is so humanly fond of speaking, which adds an endearing trait to this tutor. He will too act out examples, much of which draws laughter from us. And to him, that proves his point.

Practicals have got to be the most fun. My tutor Nora Samosir looks somewhat familiar, and she'll have you know she is a veteran in the theater circle. The first lesson with her was rather intimidating, for she laid down the rules with much assertion, but the games that followed after were fun, and Ms Samosir showed herself to be just as cool and superb a tutor. Games are not just games in theater studies, as each aims to teach us a skill needed to perform in theater. Truly, 12 weeks of practicals are really not enough.

The Wonderful Class of Actors

I was lamenting that I didn't take TS1101E earlier, so that I may continue to level up with further related modules. Dr Turner mentioned that higher level modules do include cinematic elements, of which I am truly interested in. However, I have come to the end of my academic journey. But on the other hand I thought, hey, what better way to end it with such a big bang huh?
