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.
