He is not that difficult. I got a B without trying really hard. The class is interesting because it is about Greeks, but this professor is a dork. He is a wannabe Greek and his jokes are terrible.

class is never dull with erickson. He tells jokes, stories and sort of bounces around during lecture. He's a lot of fun and you can tell he's excited by the bouncing in place when he talks. Attending class is key. Great professor!

Fun guy, I think he is the best guy to teach this class but GO TO LECTURE. He drops small things on the final. The essays were very reasonably graded and transparent on how to improve but the final was EVIL. I studied everything on the guide and still got a 75% without the curve. It was quite the curve, I got a 94 but the final is no joke (trivia)

GO TO LECTURE! It's important but also the prof is super charismatic. Attendance isn't required but you'll fall behind if you miss. Also super important to do the reading. Overall, easy & fun GE. Highly recommend!

He's very passionate and easy to listen to. As long as you do your reading and go to lecture it's pretty easy. The slides can be difficult to understand if you miss class.

Class is boring, final mc is so specific, very little things in the grade book. If you have previous knowledge the class is easy, but otherwise there is so much reading and so much memorization. Easy to pass the class but if you want a good grade you have to work for it. Not a fun GE, there are easier. But, you can not show up and get a C easily.
