Hebrew (Modern)

Coming into this class with next to no understanding of Israel-Palestine history, I learnt a lot! But while the readings were an appropriate amount, I sometimes found them too complex and found it difficult to analyse them. That said, if you are passionate about history and this topic I would definitely recommend the course. Professor Livny is a very enthusiastic instructor and while she is harsh with grading I found it fair. She is also very accommodating–I missed a deadline once but she gave me a new timeline for submission with no penalisation.

Professor Strier is amazing. Professor Strier makes it more than just a class, and it is a lot of fun (and includes baked goods and Professor Strier has created an amazing community for anyone interested in Hebrew and/or Israeli culture, both in and outside the classroom). It was a small class, which made it even better to learn Hebrew. The class becomes focussed on topics you are most interested in learning. If you want to learn to talk about sports, politics, or whatever it is you are interested in, you will get to do just that!

This is a great course. The small class size makes it a great experience. Professor Alasiri was amazing. He is a great teacher and I would highly recommend a course with him. He is available for office hours often to ensure you are prepared for exams.
