Review by Angelo Michael
"All the professors are polite, nice n professional. As a Christian studying the Hebrew Bible, the teaching and study methods of emersion using social media platforms are spot on. Zoom, Whats Up & YouTube apps have great value. The Rosen School classes like Ulpan courses challenge me the most. I am one of those students who prefer in-country learning Hebrew culture, as-is, as-was, as-in the future context presented. Using and applying Social Media to the program of instruction is like being in-country. However, one cannot dismiss native sights, smell, sounds of Israel's Near Eastern niche. These lessons in reading, writing, speaking, combined with social media platforms are used in the present, playback for review in the past, and has futuristic insentives on lessons to be presented. Especially when mixed in geographical and archeological lessons where pictures resonate and sounds permeate the lessons, eddifying my life-work balance and time management skills. Ancient maps and today's discoveries brings new insights on how people lived in those harsh environments. Growing up Christian the biblical geography acumen and learning was brief and seemingly unimportant back in the day. However, technology has brought ancient geography and archeology front and center with the language and culture of its day. This synergy or mixture of old and new is almost like feeling the dirt of those who lived long ago. Diving in and emersing myself this way does not replace actual in-country living experience but it can be the next best opportunity to feel the dirt, smell and taste the food, see and interact with the people in acient and present times. Enduring to the end. Shalom, Michael Angelo"
