“I truly appreciate the effort Professor Czypinski makes to treat all his students with respect and kindness. Whenever I had questions he was always eager and willing to give thorough explanations. I believe he teaches from the heart! I am leaving this course with an excellent foundation of knowledge in lighting and sound. I especially enjoyed the soundscape projects. As a performance major, I feel like I have a much better handle on technical theater, after this course. My only criticism, and I do not view it as a problem, is the text required was not used much. I would have liked to save the money I spent to rent it, but that is not a big deal. It is good for reference. Thanks again, Professor Czypinski for all that you do!” – Anonymous Student, Spring 2017, TA 1320-01
