Hebrew (Modern)

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.

The lectures discussed a period of Israel's history with a focus on the city of Jerusalem. There was a short reading before every class, and reading questions were routine. There were two map quizzes and a final project that were confusing and had little direction from the professor.

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.
