I'll do a quick review of one of my honours modules - will do the others soon. I find it extremely unlikely anyone will be looking to take Hebrew modules... but on the off chance, here goes.
Module: DI4700 Hebrew Prose and Poetry
Credits: 30
User: Long Jo(h)n Silver, yarrr
Year/Semester: 2010/11 S1
Lecturer(s): Dr W. Tooman
Review: An extremely relaxed class which benefits from rarely having more than three or four people taking it. You need to have taken the two sub-honours Hebrew modules (or have a decent standard of Hebrew otherwise) in order to take it. The class is fantastic, with one of (if not the best) lecturers in the School of Divinity. We met for two hours or so each week, to read texts and discuss issues with translation and meaning. Preparation for the class was somewhat more rigorous, however. Each week we prepared a set of exhaustive notes on some manner of Hebrew syntax (relative clauses, asyndetic conditional clauses, etc). Each week's notes were worth 2.5% of total grade. Obviously, it helps to prepare the primary texts too, which are usually about a chapter long, ranging from Biblical Poetry (such as Isaiah 11, Exodus 15 etc) to legal texts (Deut 5) to narratives (Samson's epic Judges 13ff). Preparation of the text tends to take about 6-8 hours a week (if you're doing it systematically, with commentaries etc, rather than just doing a quick translation), but the notes tend to take about 10-12 hours a week, depending on how many grammars you are willing to read and how exhaustive you make them (remember you'll also need to be learning vocab and obscure grammar). There was also an exegetical essay which was worth a substantial amount of the grade, but you're given free reign over which text (as long as it isn't covered in class).
A word about Dr Tooman. He's fantastic. I've been taught by him for two of my four honours modules, and I've never seen anyone able to inspire so much enthusiasm in a class. We were often laughing, at some strange anecdote or just the way Dr Tooman phrases things. He's also incredibly understanding, and prefers his students to be relaxed and happy rather than stressed out with work in precisely on time. This isn't to say he's okay with people missing deadlines, but he often gives a good extension (if there's a reason other than 'I can't be bothered'). He actually won the award for best dissertation supervisor in Arts and Divinity last year (I'm lucky enough to have him as my supervisor this year).
Overall, a great module. Small class, great tutor, decent and challenging workload. Oh yeah, and the exam was easy. By the end of the course, if you've really put the effort in, you'll have a really good understanding of some quite advanced grammar and texts. If you know Hebrew and are in Divinity, you MUST take this module. It's great.
