Really enjoyed my time in Intro to Hebrew. Michal is such an amazing person and professor, and really strives to create a positive and fun learning environment for her students. She brought a ton of Israeli culture to the classroom including different songs, dances, foods and drinks, which complemented the lessons well.
I really enjoyed this class with professor Strier, She is the best, and super effective in teaching the material. The language is very difficult, but she makes an effort to make sure everyone feels included, and is up to speed on the course material.
Michal is an amazing person and her class is extremely fun. She will bring jewish foods once in a while and knows the history of Israel and the Middle East very well, so she is a great person to talk with about current events. What a great experience!
Michal is an amzing professor and truly one of the nicest human beings ever! She provides every student with a solid basis for modern hebrew. She also loves to connect with her students on a more personal level. I would 100% take this course again if given the chance
Michal is easily the best professor I've had. She really cares about you learning and enjoying the class, and not on making sure you know x amount of words or conjugations. At times, it was hard to keep up because everyday we would learn a ton of new vocab words, but Michal was very understanding if you didn't remember everything that we had covered.
Michal is the chillest teacher at Middlebury and is so beyond accommodating that she would do pretty much anything to make sure students are enjoying the classes. There are no homework or tests if you don't want there to be, and vice versa. This class has you as the captain of the ship.
