Shirelle Doughty HEBR498K Expecting an A Anonymous 03/24/2026	Wonderful course! Provocative and compelling materials that built organically in a structure that greatly improved my language skills. Emphasis on close reading and literary analysis, but also provided historical and ideological context. The midterm discussion provided a powerful opportunity to zoom out and think about the ways stories, poems and films by/about women might challenge prevailing scholarly and popular narratives about Zionism, Hebrew literature, gender etc. Student presentations also provided an excellent chance to dig deeper and practice our speaking and writing skills. The whole course had a causal tone that made us feel comfortable to really engage, make mistakes and learn. But it also challenged us to think differently and exposed us to a broader range of styles of Modern Hebrew than we usually encounter. Thank you!
