Hebrew (Modern)

Professor Livny organized the class in a very straightforward manner, with readings/videos about a new topic relating to the Israel-Palestine conflict each week, and going in chronological order. There is a good mix of assignments which is nice, with one individual essay, a presentation, a midterm multiple choice/short answer exam, and a final group project with an essay and presentation component. There's a good amount of reading, but it's pretty straightforward and helpful to do to effectively participate in class. The class discussions are useful, she asks helpful guiding questions and her lectures also help things make more sense. Overall, she's definitely not an easy grader, but I would say it's fair, and I feel like I learned a lot and feel much more informed on this topic, so it is a very useful class to take.

Awesome professor. Learn a lot of Hebrew and no homework. A lot of fun and very good food. If you want, you can organize dinners at the Hebrew house and workshops to make food. Some cakes and cookies are sometimes brought in and they are very good.

Best class at the school. A very great way to learn a new language and have a great time doing it. The classes are all participation and discussion based so you have to show up and put your best food forward to learn but minimal work aside from that.
