Spring 2019 - She is a very kind professor with a welcoming energy. However, I did not find this to be an easy GE. You have to watch long movies in Yiddish (with English subtitles) which took up a lot of time. The weekly quizzes were very detailed. I ended up having to take it P/NP, as it was becoming too stressful for no reason... If you are patient and eager to learn about Yiddish film then this could totally be the class for you! But I wouldn't necessarily call Yiddish10 an 'easy'' GE.

Fall 2018 - The professor is extremely nice. She is caring, engaged and passionate. The problem is that the class feels very unorganized. I never know exactly what words we are responsible for and which ones we may "file away" or "keep in the back of out minds", two things she says many times. Also she gives us words on the spot, which makes me think we are not responsible, but I can't be sure. In addition, She is not very aware of the time, as she let's us out a few minutes late every class. Lastly the class structure is completely oblivious to the syllabus. She as a person is funny and one of the sweetest amd warmest teachers I have ever had. I am passionate about Yiddish, and she is a great person, but pretty disorganized. If you are wondering if it is easy, than it is. Work load is very minimal, and the midterm was easy. It is a great way to connect to the Jewish past.

Spring 2017 - Stay clear from this profesor. She is very deceitful. She intentionally miscalculated my grade and refused to fix it. In addition, she’s incredibly arrogant, with a genuinely terrible attitude towards students. I would avoid her; she, simply put, thinks to highly of herself for her class to be enjoyable.
