Kind, intelligent, and enthusiastic about teaching. Unless you are naturally gifted at math, getting an A in her class will be very difficult. She loves putting tricky word problems on her exams and quizzes. Exams also only have few problems (~10), so if you miss one, you're automatically down 10-12 points. Overall: Good prof. but difficult exams.

Wouldn't take again

The homework was 20 questions on MML and it took me FOREVER to complete it. She doesn't use class time very well and you don't learn much in lectures. All quizzes and exams are open-ended; however, she does not give partial credit on anything - you either get the question 100% correct or get 0% for the question. Would not reccommend this course.

Amazing professor, I loved her class! She was very caring and understandable. Be prepared for a lot of quizzes every week, but you'll able to retake them from tokens. Homework is optional but used for tokens. There are a lot of units to go through so classes did feel a bit rushed. Overall, I highly recommend taking her class and would do it again!

new material every week with a quiz as well. I wouldn't recommend, easy to pass because it's a specs class but stressful! do the homework on Pearson because it helps with the quiz. Dr.Erickson was very sweet but I would get confused and use YouTube videos most of the time. ASK questions if you don't understand she will help and she does tutoring

Professor Erickson has great energy and was dedicated to explaining content. However, this class is a SPECS course, meaning... lots of quizzes. Which inevitably can become very overwhelming if not retaken in a timely manner. It is imperative to show up for class because you will be quizzed on the information almost always in the class right after.

She uses the specs grading system and gives out too many quizzes. We would take a quiz in class but if we failed, we had to earn tokens to retake them outside of class. If you take her class, you should go to the tutors, do the homework on MyMathLab and meet with her outside class to go over failed quizzes. It makes a huge difference.

She uses specs grading which is 1-2 quizzes each week over recently learned material and NO test. I loved specs grading but some people don't. I only failed 1 quiz and retook it the next week. If you are good at math I 100% recommend but if you take longer to learn then I would not.

She doesn't deny helping students in & out of class. She thoroughly goes the steps to solve the problem & color codes to keep track. She will ask if everyone understands, too. The homework was harder & the resources weren't too helpful, but she will gladly help you through them. She checks up on the class & asks how everyone is.

Professor Erickson was great for the duration of Differential Equations. She was patient (sometimes too patient) with questions, explained difficult concepts well, was a fair grader, and is much better than many of the math professors I've had.

Great lectures, can use notes on tests and are relatively easy compared to the homework. Homework assigned every class, one project (was hard to understand and she doesn't really explain how to do it). There's a section in the gradebook called "Daily Grade" that has nothing in it as of November, so idk if attendance is mandatory for sure.

Highly recommend for Diff Eq. Kind, patient, ensures no one's left behind. Cengage homework annoying at times due to minimal help (especially the videos), so her guidance might be needed (though it might slow class progress). Homework preps very well for exams. Flexible with HW deadlines. Your best shot at an 'A'; alternatives might leave regrets.

Erickson's class was a great introduction to subject matter that was definitely difficult for me personally. Due to the nature of this course, we took a lot of time in class to fully understand each problem and formula. Another great thing is she will show you how to fully do a problem from the homework and the process unlike some other professors.

Very good professor. The content itself was very challenging but the professor was always there to help us with anything. She spent alot of time explaining to us the concepts so that we may grasp them firmly. Really helpful professor. This course Differential equations itself was very difficult. Don't take if you don't have to.

Despite the difficulty of the class, Dr. Erickson is an excellent professor. You can easily reach her via email and she even has office hours. She also checks in with the class at the beginning of every lecture. However, the homework on Webassign isn't that good. Definitely would recommend this professor for this course.

Dr. Erickson is a great professor. I would take her again but would not take the class again, because, well, it's hard. Homework did take hours to complete but you don't get better with something with little practice. She does offer out-of-class help and she is understanding. If she wasn't my prof. I don't think I would have done that well.

Dr. Erickson has been one of the best math teachers I've had here. The content is very difficult, but she does a great job at explaining and breaking down everything. The homework can take a while but is well worth it. The tests are never brain teasers, and she's all around very helpful. Very sweet teacher and I had a great time taking her class!

Although Calculus I is not an easy course, Dr. Erickson did an amazing job at explaining everything and helping each one of her students. Be prepared for TONS of homework, it's part of this 4 credit class and pretty much necessary to be prepared for the weekly quizzes. As long as you do ALL the homework YOURSELF you will get an A.

She's a very good professor and tbh gives you too much freedom regarding formula sheets on the test. Although she makes the class easy, it's very possible to get a good grade without really understanding the problems conceptionally.

Nice teacher, 1 quiz and 2 hw a week. Because there's so much content we don't really get a review day before the tests. You will need to study a lot at home. All hw is on MML. She drops your 2 lowest quiz grades. Very generous on partial credit. Doesn't do many extra credit opportunities. Study the hw and youll be fine.
