Intro to Biblical Literature
An Introduction to Biblical Literature This course is a general introduction to biblical history, literature, and interpretation. It is designed for students who seek a basic understanding of the Bible on its own or as a foundation for further study in religion, art, literature, film, and other disciplines. It aims to acquaint students with the major characters, narratives, poetry, and compositional features of biblical literature and how these writings became Jewish and Christian scriptures. The course will also explore various approaches to reading the Bible, both religious and secular.
The course was not particularly difficult. Weekly assignments that were pretty easy and quick. Not a small amount of reading, but nothing crazy. She has a fixation on AI systems and insists that she will expel anyone who cheats. Some questions on the exams follow the 'correct this AI essay' format. I was not particularly entertained. Moreover, Lim leaves out a lot of nuances and details on the subject material, and presents relatively controversial theories as blanket facts in a way that feels difficult to challenge her. This is a pretty easy class, but if you are looking for real learning, be ready to do your own research on the side

You get one assignment per week, which are easy and fun. The readings are not complicated because you have access to translated versions of the bible, and Professor Lim does a fantastic job at breaking down complicated, critical biblical events during the lectures. Professor Lim does open-book exams and dedicates several classes to prepare you for them.
This was a really easy course. Exams were both take home and had weekly writing assignments once in a while that were really straightforward. The class goes by fast, as it is an intro, but you dont have to know evevrything. It was great.
