Ted Sasson

This was a reading heavy course but the material was all relevant to Professor Sasson's lectures and topics in class. He is very passionate and well informed about this topic and my writing imporved throughout the semester. There are four papers (including a final paper) and are all 4-6 pages based on the reading and lecture materials.

I thought the course was really interesting and the instructor was very fair and accommodating towards students. I will say that it was pretty reading heavy since we only had 4 papers towards our grade but no actual homework besides the readings that went towards your paper. It was really well structured.

Professor Sasson is super passionate about Israel and does a good job at being unbiased in his teaching. Readings were assigned on both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine arguments. It's easy to fall behind, so keeping up with the dense reading is important to understand the material. There are four essays over the course of the semester which do require significant time.
