Prof. Schine is brilliant! If you have the chance to take a class with him I highly suggest you do so. He is a wealth of knowledge like no other and is passionate about the material. I think he is a pretty easy grader, but he expects you to put some effort into the class. That said, if you are hoping for a fast-paced, well-structured course this probably is not the best option. Having experience and interest in Judaism goes a long way in this class, but really, anyone stands to benefit a lot if they truly care about their learning. I can't recommend Schine enough.

not a hard class and the exams & papers aren't too bad, lots of readings, almost zero hw outside of the two papers, discussions do involve a lot of participation and you should have a question or some knowledge of the topic for it, prof Schine is a super slow & low speaker and lectures do get boring but he's an overall nice prof if you need anything, not a class to worry about if you need something to fill ur schedule, though there are like 3 mandatory speakers/events you have to attend outside of class

I really enjoyed this course. Professor Waldron is a total expert on the subject matter, and does a great job of providing an overview of all the major schools of Buddhist thought. The assignments are easy and he is very accommodating. However, I would say that if you don't have a genuine interest in Buddhism, this class may not be the best fit for you as the content can get quite dense.
