[MDES W4512] Readings In Hebrew Texts I

Nice lady but not the most challenging class if you have completed the required Hebrew classes to take this class (which is considered an upper-level language class). Very easy to get side-tracked on conversations about the roots of words or how to remember the grammer of a word. Not a difficult grader and will regive a quiz if the class does not do well. Overall I am not even sure that the quizzes factor into our grading, and I doubt the homework did either. Homeworks and assignments are given two grades: content and language. Most people get an A on the first and an A or A- on the second. Overall the class was enjoyable and I would take it if it fits your schedule.

Workload:

Lots of Quizzes, 2 written assignments, final assignment or a written final (depends on her preference), periodic homeworks (mostly sentence writing on the words for a quiz or summaries of readings)

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

The best class you will ever take. Everyone must take it if they can. It is like no other class. The structure Prof. Raphaeli creates is amazing. The prof. is the best. She will teach you so much and you will have fun at the same time. You as a class will decide the direction that class my take. When a class says a text is too easy, the next text will change accordingly. If the class decides something is too hard you will recieve an easier text. You will learn so much. Everyone does and everyone enjoys it, even if all at different levels. The Prof really know that everyones learns differently and everyone is at a slightly different level. What might not be an achievement for one person is for another. You will definetly feel great in this class no matter what your experience is as long as you try and you do your part. I looked forward to this class everyday.

Workload:

About fourty minutes for every class day. Projects make take longer or shorter depending on what you do and your level. Workload all depends on your level- it will never be too much or none at all. I promise you you will enjoy it and the workload will be manageable if you really want to improve your Hebrew.
