I actually took religion/Jewish Studies M10 with her which isn't listed. very easy GE especially if you already have a good understanding of the old testament. Class is basically straight up memorization and should be renamed to the history of the Jewish people. The class was also based on the TA's with them being the graders of the 2 essays, midterm, and final and they even wrote the midterm and final. I had a really good TA who gave us great study guides, told us the format of the tests, held study sessions, and told us exactly what to study. She wanted tests to be harder but thank goodness TA's were the ones in charge and kept tests as simple as possible. She assigned a ton of reading which I did basically none except for the story one of the essays were based on. Listening to lectures but especially discussions are all you really need to do. Take it for an easy GE

She's totally unorganized. I think she just walks into class and decides what to do on the spot. Teaching is definitely not her strength and following her "lectures" can be difficult sometimes. She also doesn't support her claims well, even though I'm sure scholarship does show support for them. She's just not a good teacher, that's all. At times she's also rather biased, and surprisingly won't accept or expand on arguments made in readings. HOWEVER, if you just write down those points she actually does "lecture" on/emphasize, you can get an A in the class. You don't need to do all the readings; you won't have time anyway. It's an interesting experience being in her class. I hope that the challenge she offers to people helps people grow.
