professor strauss is tough but so amazing, i am on my fourth class with her, if you are interested in jewish studies you cannot avoid taking a class with her, so be sure to get on her good side. overall, she really cares about her students and you will learn so much from her.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Provides helpful study guides for exams but VERY lecture heavy. If you are a visual learner do not take this class as all she does is lectures and you are responsible for notes. If you have a Jewish educational background you can get away without doing the readings, but you will need to study for the exams.

Professor Strauss expects you to know everything about Jewish culture before even joining the class. Her lectures are very content-heavy and long with little interaction with the students. If you want to succeed in this class you have to be Jewish. period.

Prof. Strauss is an incredibly well read and knowledgeable woman. Do not miss the chance to soak up what learning she offers if you're interested in Jewish Studies. She has her class rules for a reason, so respected them, she wants you to pay attention. Otherwise, her classes are interesting and will solidify your understanding of class material.

Dr. Strauss is one of the most educated professors I have had at AU. She knows everything there is to know and can and will answer any question you have. It can be very hard without knowing some background as I did not and often was stuck not knowing what was going on. Overall again, one of the nicest and most supportive professors. Grades harshly.
