This course was a great introduction to Jerusalem's background. We learned a lot about its history through primary source presentations and a final timeline project. I enjoyed Professor Livny's laidback attitude and teaching style throughout the semester. If you are looking for a good course with a great professor, look no further.
This course was an easy 4th class to a heavy semester of courses I was taking. There are no exams and all of the projects are simple and focused on Middlebury itself. I enjoyed going to the archives and looking at old Middlebury "artifacts" because it really supplemented the learning in class. The class got better throughout the semester and was quite boring and not well taught as Prof. Livny was still trying to figure out how the course would work.

I thought the material of this course was interesting, but Professor Livny has a tendency to lecture which can make it boring. There is also a feeling of divide among those who are more familiar with the subject versus those who know less.
