CollegeNo homework and just a midterm and final that require a hefty amount of memorization and studying. Attending class is essential since he says all the important info.
Took this class because of how much I loved CLASS 40 with this professor and was not disappointed! SUCH an amazing lecturer and so knowledgeable in his field. Must attend all classes though because recordings or slide info arent posted and the midterm and final are very heavy on memorization. Besides the midterm and final, very light coursework!
Prof Erickson is engaging, energetic, & makes information that seems dull really interesting. Although he didn't take attendance in CLAS50, it was necessary to go to class because his slides have only a few pictures or words, described more in lecture. Midterm & final were almost strictly memorization. I would definitely take his class again.
Prof Erickson is a very good lecturer and very passionate about Greek Archeology. Be prepared for a lot of memorization for a very fair midterm and final. He gives you a list of ID terms before the midterm/final and chooses a few key ones for the test. If you go to lecture and study you will get an A.
He's passionate and engaging. However, you will likely not know your grade going into the final. The midterm and final require a LOT of studying, but there is little other homework or readings. While attendance isn't mandatory, show up and take good notes because it is 100% of the material tested. cons: doesn't reply to emails and grades slowly.
Great teacher to have for classics. His passion for the class rubbed off on me and I never wanted to skip class. Midterm and Final seem like they would be hard but are actually not, if you go to class and pay attention it's very obvious what terms you must study. Notes are extremely important but so is just sitting back and taking all the info in.
