Dr. Marc Geisler's main message in his Introduction to Shakespeare course is that a good reader is more like a film director looking at a potential script than a passive recipient of information and universal truths. Professor Geisler's students demonstrate their understanding of Shakespeare by developing their own imaginative responses to The Bard's dramatic language.
