Review:
I found this class to be overrated. "Uncle Sol" is humorous at best, and entertaining. However, if you have a brain and expect to use it in this class, you will be sorely disappointed. You will actually be penalized for attempting to analyze the literature you read and do not simply spit back what Gittleman says. The class is huge, and there will be people asking dumb questions constantly. Entertaining? Yes. Educational? No, especially since the only real pieces of literature are rushed through at the end (Goodbye Columbus, etc.) and given the same weight and time in class as an individual sholom aleichem story.
