Student Feedback
“Laura is a fantastic instructor. Laura managed to create an environment that was both comfortable and enticing. I was always excited to walk in and learn a new topic. The concepts/skills Laura and Beth taught me will be incredibly helpful for my future career as an educator. I appreciated Laura's high energy and enthusiasm she always brighten my day.”

“Love this class! You were very prepared every single class and did a very good job explaining the reasoning behind every single activities. The amount of input we have is very nice. …. Also I love the creative project we did, it was a great way to relate improv to aspects outside of class.”

“I thought you did a really good job of fostering a positive work environment. Honestly, I've never had a course here at UT where I felt welcome and knew all my peers as well as I did in this course. You have a passion for this subject, and the exercises we did in this course helped tremendously.”
