Before I took this class several students have warned me about how he teaches material filled with apikores content. But that is simply not true. Loved his class. And his beard.

Comment:
In class time is spent on some of the more historical elements of Biblical hebrew. It was organized but i thought the courses focus was not strongly aligned with the final exam's focus. The textbook we used this semester was strange. I would advise buying Lambdin book as a supplement if he doesn't switch back to it. Very nice, fair grader

Comment:
Koller's "Book of Esther" is worth taking. He presents thought-provoking material and encourages student input. The class body was pretty high-leveled for an IBC course, which was good. One straightforward paper and a pretty easy final. Not much work because the readings aren't necessary. Mostly organized course overall. Great beard.

Very nice and not such a difficult professor. Grades tests very leniently and not so much work. However, he teaches some very controversial topics for a bible class taught in a yeshiva

Really great guy and and a really smart, clear, and interesting professor, will take the time to talk with students whether its to help them out or just to have an intellectual discussion. Keep in mind though that if you take him for IBC he will treat it like a real class so it'll be more difficult. he's a very fair grader, but not a pushover.

Probably the best option for intro to bible. He gives out the notes for the midterm and final. No written homework, so nobody does the readings. A good guy.

Amazing class and fair grader. Do the work and you'll do fine. For the paper, it couldn't hurt to show him a draft first before you send in your final copy.

Professor Koller creates an intellectually rigorous academic environment drawing from a diverse range of disciplines to shed light on the study of Bible and ancient history. One can't help but feel smart after leaving a lecture of his. He also has a keen and sophisticated sense of humor which makes class enjoyable. He is demanding, but isn't everyt

A very reasonable teacher. I enjoyed his class very much. I think he changes the class structure each semester; for instances the only tests I had were vocabulary tests. Always willing to listen to your interpretation. Recommended

Demanding, strict, a bit full of himself, stubborn. A smart guy who expects everyone to do work on his level and grades accordingly.
