Professor Erickson is a really nice person, but not a great professor. In class, we were split into four groups, and each group had a reading for the week. The thing is that all four readings covered different concepts, so none of us had a clue about what happened in the other readings, which left a huge gap in knowledge. Also, his lectures were pretty unclear for the most part. His presentations include a lot of tangents and are not very clear. You will really only learn through the readings, and throughout the semester, I tried to read all four of them each week, which ended up being 150 or so pages (plus extensive notes). Ultimately, I feel like I didn't learn much since I had to teach myself most of the (very difficult and detailed) course, on top of my four other courses and working part time. I would not take his class again.
