Worst lecturer ever! Everything is disorganized and it's impossible to predict what he will test on. The quizzes are very challenging, and beware that he assigns a five-page paper. Do not fall for his comedy. You won't be laughing when you get to the exams.

Super fun lectures, he enjoys teaching and will make you laugh. He really knows his stuff. His tests are tough; he wants you to prove you've learned the material. Challenging, but never dull.

the lectures are a lot of fun because of his enthusiasm and jokes. always interesting, but it is a lot of work.

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!

Best lecturer I've had.

I love your classes, however you make a student go broke with the cost of books for your class. Try to tone it down or put more into the reader so we have less primary sources to buy. Over all great class, but come on do you really think that UCSB students go to cocktail hours at fancy museums??? Hell no we drink in IV.

I dont really like him every much... he lost my paper! and he wouldnt let me turn in another one even though i proved it to him that i had it done on time!!!

Cool lectures, fun paper topic... all in all i liked going to class, which is good because its pretty important

Awesome professor. He talks a lot about his own experiences in the field, which is a lot of fun. He's always available to help if you are having trouble understanding. Don't miss lecture though, there's a lot of in-class activities.

Awesome teacher, very passionate, very very intresting lectures you shouldnt' miss them! However, its a LOT of reading if you're not interested in the topic. You can get a C w/o reading, I would guess. He explains a lot in lecture. Definately a great professor though

He is so enthusiastic about the subject and makes you like it too. The paper topic was on a movie and was really fun. He also likes to tell funny stories in class; he's very personable.

He is an amazing professor who knows his stuff and has a great ability to keep you interested. The assigned paper topic was actually fun and he likes to incorporate movies into his lectures. And he is the most adorable professor ever!

He was really funny and is really into teaching. I loved this class

He is really funny and just a good guy.

One word...AMAZING. This class was so interesting, and he is so passionate about his subjects. The lectures were always funny and he keeps yu awake. Expect a lot of reading, and there are 4 quizzes as well as a midterm, final and a 5 page paper. So, work hard!

Erickson is AWESOME! he is one of the best professors i've had so far!! the lectures are fun and interesting! there is a lot of reading but i recommend you only buy the reader because it explains in detail about the other books required. TAKE THIS CLASS!

WOW...I dont know what class all these people went to, but I thought that was one of the most awful classes ever. It is so slow and he is extremely unorganized. His slides are random and his lectures are pointless. His class objective is unclear, I gained absolutley nothing from his class.

Erickson is an awesome guy and a great teacher. I didn't always read, but I came to 95% of the lectures, and since he goes over the reading so well, I still got a B. It's not hard to pay attention and have fun.

He makes the subject matter very interesting, at least I thought so. He's kindof a dork, and he makes lots of jokes. I really enjoyed the class.

Very funny and interesting lectures. He seems to really enjoy what he's teaching.

professor erickson was just so enthusiastic and really enjoyed teaching the subject, which made it fun to go to class everyday. Great class, with great lectures.

Great guy. Loves to teach and still maintain a comfortable atmosphere. Always makes a few good jokes per class, no need to fake laugh, his jokes actually are funny. Take this class if he teaches it!

Very passionate about the subject. Interesting and funny. Do your reading though, test are very thorough.

he's AWESOME!! has a lot of experience in the area and really engaging lecturer. He's really funny too - not afraid to make the inappropriate sexual comments! overall..lots of reading and the section is required but REALLY FUN!! and if you remotely LIKE greek myth - it's an even better experience!
