Proff Erickson is an amazing lecturer! Hes really funny and super passionate about what hes teaching so lectures are always fun. Youd be fine with not reading the books and merely reading summaries, he goes over everything in class really well

He is the BEST!!!! It's a bliss if you get him as your professor. The class content is a lot of fun, and he gives the best lecture. He is definitely knowledgeable about mythology and you will learn so much more from his lecture than the reading itself. Although there are a lot of readings, 99% are stories that are interesting to read.

oh god i love erickson. I took Greek myth with him and i absolutely loved the class! he was always super passionate about every topic and always cracks jokes to keep us awake. i didn't do any of the readings, but attended every lecture and took good notes on everything mentioned and did well in the class. tl;dr : go to class and take good notes!!

This class was harder than I expected. Lectures are funny but the slides are disorganized & only helpful if you pay really close attention. You also have to at least read sparknotes for all the readings or you'll fail the midterm & the final b/c they're specific. One paper that was easy. Ended up taking it PNP b/c I tanked the midterm. Study!

greek myth is really fascinating. one of the best courses at ucsb. I did bad in midterm bc I didn't pay attention and didn't know about the myths in first half of quarter. then I just understood the myths as if they were stories after that and I passed the class. the final was really easy. I recommend this class.

Brice is one of the best professors I've ever had. He's SO funny, and he made me want to go to lecture purely for entertainment. He's passionate about what he teaches, but he keeps things fun. He basically told us the answers to the first five questions on the final. I would take a class about how sidewalks are made if Brice was the one teaching it

this professor doesnt let his TAs post grades on Gauchospace, so i had no idea what my actual grade was even after i took the final. this professor is very lecture heavy, so its important to go to class. but still this professor is wack for not posting grades online when the Internet is so prevalent in this age.

His slideshows are a bit disorganized bc they're all just pictures, and he's a bit hard to follow in class. The readings are hard to understand and he just goes over them in class anyway. There was one paper at the end of the quarter but it was pretty short, and the midterm and final were both MC. He also has some spicy takes on pop media.

Erickson is by far one of the best lecturers. He's extremely passionate and knows his stuff inside and out which makes his lectures so fluid and clear. Going to lecture is a must because then you'll understand the slides, and reading isn't necessary if you go to lecture. Very enjoyable class with interesting material. He's also hilarious.

I loved this class! Professor Anderson is very dynamic and makes the lectures entertaining. You should attend lectures; he posts the slides online but there are only images.

My favorite professor till now. The materials are interesting and he's a great story teller. He can even make exams funny.

Erickson is amazing and a really good professor. He is really passionate about what he does and describes and analyzes myths in a clear, understandable, and fun way. His tests are super easy and his final paper is pretty interesting as well. Fun and easy class. He even shows music videos at the beginning of class and lots of movie clips.

Gives good lectures but his slides barely have anything written on it, just pictures. The midterm and the final is lecture-based so you don't have to read as long as you pay attention in class. He talks A LOT so it gets a little confusing. His lectures are funny and engaging.

The best professor I have ever had in UCSB. Take his class for sure!

erickson is a good professor who tries to make his lectures entertaining. while lecture isn't mandatory, section is. there is some reading, but I didn't do it and still passed. there is a midterm, paper, and final. the class is interesting, and I recommend

Tremendous! Professor Erickson is an amazing professor who is extremely passionate about what he does. He makes he content very interesting and always throws in jokes to crack up the class. My favorite professor at UCSB without a doubt.

Professor Erickson is one of the best professors. He's really entertaining and will keep you engaged and laughing the entire lecture. His exams are relatively easy if you go to class and pay attention. The readings aren't really necessary since he summarizes the readings in lecture, so make sure you go! You won't regret taking his class.

Lectures are great, take notes and you will pass.

Erickson's lectures were engaging, but the slides only have pictures so be ready to write/type fast. Midterm is harder than you'd expect, final was a breeze. You might have to write essays in section depending on what TA you get. The final paper was super easy. Overall the class was fine, not worth stressing over.

His midterm and final were very specific since they were based on what he lectures on meaning YOU HAVE TO GO TO CLASS. Dont need to read all the books, just the ones he talks a lot about. Very funny guy! Loved his approach. I got a D on the midterm and a C on the final but a B overall so a really easy class to pass. Totally recommend!!!

Midterm and Final are super specific, so make sure you really do study although it is hard because he doesn't give you a study guide. There are a lot of terms and information so it is hard to focus on what you really have to know for the tests. Professor Erickson is a great lecturer, but it can be hard to stay interested during lecture.

One of the best professors at UCSB. Exams were a bit specific and averages were around a C- if I remember correctly.

Erickson is a great professor, and makes greek myth interesting. Summarizes readings in class, buying books isn't necessary. Because he is an archaeologist, the class involves a lot of memorizing buildings, sites, pictures. Can get annoying to have to know every picture on a vase. Midterm and final are slightly hard(and super specific), but MC.

Erickson is my favorite professor so far at UCSB! His lectures are funny and engaging and he makes you interested in the subject. Tests and grading is really fair but you need to attend lecture to pass. Best professor to take Greek myth with!
