Hebrew (Modern)

This is one of the most interesting courses I've taken at Middlebury. The readings (though sometimes lengthy) and lectures were always very engaging, and Professor Livny encouraged questions and group discussion. The writing assignments were relatively short and infrequent, except for the final. There was also a partner presentation, which was straightforward and enjoyable. I was initially concerned about bias given the professor's background, but she was upfront about it and never seemed to insert her own opinions, biases, or personal narrative. She was also kind and accommodating.

This class was very fun and a really good way to start your day. Professor Strier was really passionate about teaching Hebrew and really helped explain every single concept within the course outside the class if needed

Michal is the best! I took this course because I wanted to learn more Hebrew. Expectations were really low and you pretty much were graded based on how hard you try. There was very little homework and no tests.
