I was extremely interested in the subject of the course itself and it was extremely helpful in expanding my knowledge and awareness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. That being said, I found the course itself to be extremely challenging. Even if you keep up with the readings every week, you will still need to put multiple days into studying for the midterm and final which are the two main aspects that determine your grade. Both require you to memorize 20+ primary sources and write on each in depth in order to write what the professor is looking for. DO NOT take this course if you easily get behind on readings and are a last minute crammer before tests, its not possible to do well without keeping up every single week.
