I took Jewish Studies 170, the Dead Sea Scrolls, with him, and it was EASY. Although a lot of the class got a B on the midterm. But I got a perfect score. Basically write down what he says in class, otherwise you won't have anything to study for the tests, and it's not that hard. He's an ok teacher but his lectures seem a little disorganized. Still, his test questions come right from his lectures. Basically a copy-and-paste from your notes into the exam. Grading is based on attendance, one midterm, the final, and a 5-page paper.
