12/05/2023 		Professor Hayim, or HayHIM as my friends and I call him, is super knowledgeable about the course topics to the point that he struggles with which information is the most important. He tends to stumble through his lectures but he is genuine in wanting everyone to understand the information. The reading can be long but are manageable if you don't take notes. Our TA was super helpful and pushed us to think outside of the box. If you're not already interest in religion and religious movements DO NOT take this class, but if you are, this will be a wonderful class to take.

The midterms are take home quizzes that are extremely easy. The essays are few and far between and also graded very generously. His lectures for this class were very interesting. Attendance is graded. The class is pretty easy, but there is a TON of reading, though he usually goes over what you actually need to know from the reading in lecture and discussion, so you can just skim. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and recommend Lapin.
