Comment:
Professor Elman is surely one of the most knowledgeable and impressive scholars of Tanach and Jewish Studies in general. Unfortunately, he's had severe injuries and surgeries over the years which have limited his ability to teach a class effectively. Can still learn a lot if you want or can just chill out. Mesorah works for the midterm, not final

Comment:
Class is boring and quite pathetic. No work, just 2 tests, which are incomprehensible but you can leave a third of them out. With both mesorah tests and notes you'll be fine with the tests. Not recommended for anyone interested in bible.

Before attending class look over mesorah notes to get an idea of what he tests on. Then take good notes and show up on time and it should be an A. Requires no work outside of class besides studying for two tests.

How can I say this? EPIC DISASTER. We did nothing. I have 5 pages of notes on the whole semester. We're supposed to write a serious paper on Talmud, but out of the whole course we only had 3 lectures on it! He's brilliant, but he didn't teach anything. I'm not bitter about grades - I haven't gotten any because we did nothing. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!

Comment:
If i have to give 1 word of advice is- DO NOT USE MESORAH tests! its over with he might use it for 10% of the test and if you only study it then you will fail miserably! Once I realized i got notes and pounded. the course might be a little interesting but all of the intros are heretic and demeaning of Torah. Good luck

The knowledge and textual skills that I gained from Dr. Elman's courses are so valuable! Every time I open up a sefer I utilize the techniques that he taught me.

Comment:
its really simple- the course itself sucks. that said, he doesnt make it any better or worse. i guess its not really his fault the course is so horrible, but he really doesnt add anything to it, though he's really not a bad guy. i heard he's the best choice for this course though. that really sucks.
