Electives

 The offering of electives is a dynamic process involving input from faculty and students. During the fall semester, both faculty and students are encouraged to propose possible elective classes for the next year. Based on those suggestions, students are presented with a ballot on which multiple electives are offered in each elective block, and based on student voting the elective program is established for the coming year.   The opportunity to propose and select elective courses is an important vehicle through which students contribute to shaping their educational paths at Ma’ayanot.
