Started off not liking Shakespeare, ended up loving it. This class was amazing! The teacher is proabably the one who made it that way. You get passionate about the subject because of his passion for it. It's amazing how much mr Bergbusch knows about Shakespeare. You will not find such profound insights anywhere else (not even chatgpt haha). Definetly be present during his classes and ask questions if you have any. His classes are very fun partly because of his humour! He's very social, performative, insightful, welcoming and sweet. Definetly one of my favorite teachers.

Interesting lectures. Teacher is a wealth of knowledge on Elizabethan period & Shakespeare! Not much homework, but definitely do the assigned reading If you are an actor or simply like to do creative, fun, outside the box projects, this is the class for you! (Be prepared to memorize/perform a Shakespeare speech :D)

Don't hesitate to ask questions or even for a review of your paper, you have a much better chance of performing well if you do so.

I am taking a Shakespearean Comedy course with Matt and he definitely knows his subject (he has been studying Shakespeare for years! ). He explains everything to the point and is well-organized in his ideas. He gives interesting and entertaining lectures. He is really relaxed, understanding and helpful, always makes himself available to discuss the course material with his students. He also shares additional supporting material to better understand the course readings. If you are an actor or simply would like to do fun, creative, outside of the box projects, this is the class for you! (Be prepared to memorize/perform a Shakespeare speech :D)
