Reviews of professor Noah Bickart

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really really liked taking Dr. Bickart's class. He is super smart, but also funny and genuinely cares about his students. There really is not a lot of homework--you do readings and discussions in class, but because of that you have to go to class. There's no textbook, and the final & midterm were take home essays (kinda tough but it's fine).

Professor Bickart is the best professor I've ever had. I didn't have a single care for Judaism but he excited that in me. He is very lenient and understands anyone's situation. His class isn't hard whatsoever, and he is very enthusiastic, passionate and funny in his lectures. He lets you rewrite papers, or send them early. Gives great feedback.

Great professor, engaging lectures, funny commentary. Really relatable person. 10/10 if you're thinking about taking him for a core requirement or even a major or minor requirement, you should. He's a rabbi so obviously knows a lot about what he teaches, but he makes it relatable.

Interesting and easy to listen to lectures. He even had his 10 yr old son come in and help him teach! Only have had papers (2 so far and probably one for the final) and no exam as of yet . He doesn't like giving out bad grades and is very understanding. He doesn't take attendance but he'll know you're not there. I highly recommend taking him!

Professor Bickart is great! I was worried about this course because I didn't know anything about Judaism before, but he really cares about his students and wants the best for them. He is also super flexible when it comes to due dates. I would definitely recommend taking him if you need a TRS credit!

Super nice. His goal is to give you an idea about Judaism. Take his class definitely! There are only three papers and he gives you the sources already cited so thats super nice. His lectures werent bad at all. He always came like five mins late with a coffee mug and full of energy.

Definitely take this course for TRS. Boring lectures but little to no work outside of class. Class just has 3 papers as grades whole semester. Easy A.

He is a big eye opener for students. He respects people's opinions. I loved this class and it really brought me closer to my religion even though I'm not Jewish. Very good man. Explains very complicated things in a simple manner. helps students understand everything is through perspective. I hope he knows he is a great teacher

Take any class with Dr. Bickart and you'll pass. He wants his students to do well and don't think he's ever given anyone lower than an A or B on a paper. His class is based off of 2 papers and they're probably the easiest things you'll ever have to write. He's also the best Theology professor so if you need a Theology class, take one with him.
