...students. While recording lectures can be an expensive undertaking for a department, the benefits to students are high, even when weighed against the almost certain decrease in classroom attendance. Professors should recognize the numerous benefits of putting online as many lecture materials as possible. Even the most diligent note-taker in lecture can benefit from another chance to hear a difficult concept explained, especially in more technical courses where a single detail can be the key to understanding an entire concept. As has been the case in the past, some professors will continue to be reluctant to post their lectures...

In “Prom Night” (adapted by Sen), she was hilarious as a ditzy teen who resists her boyfriend’s attempts to have sex. From her exaggerated Indian accent to her commendable performance of getting intimate...
...stark, open set and spare staging suggests that the characters are essentially alone, and that their prayers largely go unanswered. But more importantly, DHO’s production implies that there is no higher power watching over the characters; the only redeeming note of the story, when Blanche meets Sister Constance at the scaffold to die with her, is portrayed as a small triumph of human compassion, not one of divinely inspired martyrdom...
