Erickson is an enthusiastic lecturer and is very engaging with the entire class. He guides the class through the translation in a clear and positive way, which is so nice because Latin can be very frustrating and difficult to figure out when you're stuck. He's such a funny professor and this was one of my favorite classes I've taken.

Not very good. He is good with the fufu classes like myth, but not the upper division language classes. I found myself drowning in work and he was not helpful and frequently got his latin translations wrong. Some students even had to correct his Latin. Steer clear of this one

Great professor- he's very helpful, friendly and hyper. The course itself is rather challenging. There is sight reading on the midterm and final and we have to learn meter.

A good latin professor. The class is actually sort of interesting and not as painful as expected. Watch out for 100% or nothing quizes. He could do better with explaining grammer. He goes just a little to fast at times. He can be funny at times. We do have to learn meter.

One of the best Classics professors I've ever had. Easy to understand and humorous. Talks about surfing A LOT. And he's hot!

Amazing professor and great class. I definitely recommend going to the lectures as the midterm and final are based on his slides, which he posts but lack detailed information. You can tell he loves his research and was always willing to answer questions after lecture. Midterm and final were the same format (what, when, where, and why) and very easy
