Winter 2021 - Tons of readings and the prof is not very clear on course curriculum. Prof changed the syllabus several times last minute and it stressed me out. Was able to find a lot as PDF’s online after EXTENSIVELY searching, but still had to purchase several texts since it is such a niche area of literature. The curriculum itself was very interesting and the professor is super knowledgeable and passionate. However the reading was extremely heavy, it was nowhere near an easy A class. Especially tough if you are not already knowledgeable on Israeli history geopolitically and religiously. Class made me start smoking again.
