Robert Schine

Professor Schine is great. He deeply values your constant participation, contribution, learning and discoveries. The class was a little hard for me and felt like I fell behind in some aspects. But I was able to see people thriving and liking every aspect of the class. I personally felt a little overwhelmed but was able to feel more relaxed when asking questions and talking to the Professor in person. I think he is a very funny person with tons of interesting and significant knowledge. Make sure you put your effort into learning and participating.

This class was very easy. There was a lot of nightly reading including passages from the Bible. The lectures in this course were pretty boring but he asked questions that made each day more engaging. There were 4 essays that were all very straight forward. No exams in the class. The topic is interesting and fairly straightforward. This is a good class to take if you want to get the religion distribution requirement. The professor was also very accommodating and helpful in office hours if you had extra questions.

Prof. Schine is brilliant! If you have the chance to take a class with him I highly suggest you do so. He is a wealth of knowledge like no other and is passionate about the material. I think he is a pretty easy grader, but he expects you to put some effort into the class. That said, if you are hoping for a fast-paced, well-structured course this probably is not the best option. Having experience and interest in Judaism goes a long way in this class, but really, anyone stands to benefit a lot if they truly care about their learning. I can't recommend Schine enough.
