Winter 2024 - Professor Myers is a great person and fantastic scholar. This class was very challenging, and really opened up the door to so many prescient historical topics. I most enjoyed the sections on European Intellectual History and anti-Judaism in various Abrahamic religions. I am so glad that I took this class; it's been one of my favorite classes at UCLA. You don't need to come from a Jewish background to participate fully and understand the material. Would definitely recommend any class with Professor Myers.

Professor Myers was one of the best professors I've taken at UCLA. There's no question that he knows almost everything about Medieval Jewish History; even the most unique questions he is able to answer in depth. His lectures were well-organized and interesting, and he is one of the few teachers that lets you ask questions during lecture. I knew very little about Judaism in general when I came into the class, and came away knowledgable and even more interested in the subject. If you're looking for an easy class, don't take Myers--the reading's intense and can be really boring sometimes, the 10-20 page paper was a lot for a history class, and there is no way to BS on the tests. But if you're looking for a class that is interesting, pertinent and fulfilling, with a professor that cares about the student's learning as much as he knows about his material, then Professor Myers is a must.
