Most Helpful Review
Fall 2023 - This class consisted of a midterm, a "podcast," which was just a group project where you presented the readings, and a final exam. The midterm was very easy however, the final exam was difficult as it was cumulative. This class looked at gender in Israel as a case study. As such, many controversial topics arose, especially when we talked about Palestinians. This professor is Israeli, so her opinions are informed by her experiences. If you are pro-Palestine, this class could be useful to see another point of view or it could be very distressing when you hear denials of genocide. A very interesting class though the podcasts were very dry especially when people would just read from their notes.
