Reviews of professor Mik Larsen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you are planning to take him for any classes please BE WARNED!! If I can give this professor a lower rating I would. His classes should not be as difficult as they are. I personally found him very unprofessional in his lack of use of BeachBoard & YOU WILL STRUGGLE ON THE MIDTERM & FINAL because his study guides are horrible!!

Dr. Larsen is one of the best professors I've taken. He makes class exciting and has a good sense of humor. He's extremely knowledgeable on the material. There's a ton of reading but if you're interested in the topics, it'll be fun and rewarding. If not, don't take his classes. Grades fair. Far from punishing but will not hand out an easy A.

Had Dr. Larsen for four classes. I once took two of his classes at the same time and that was a LOT of reading so I am not sure I recommend that but I definitely recommend a class with him. Really loves Tacitus for some reason but don't hold it against him.

Larsen is intelligent, but that intelligence is arrogance when he refuses to understand that his study guides are extremely vague and he is not open-minded in elaborating on things he doesn't think need elaborations.

If you don't like reading than this class is not for you. He give out quizzes in the beginning of every other class meet, sometime 2 in 1 week all questions are related to the readings. There are lots of required books for this class, including online readings given by the professor. DO NOT SKIP A READING, terrible mistake.

Great lectures, frequent amounts of reading but makes it entertaining. Passionate about lectures which makes class interesting. Would take his classes again. Great professor, highly recommend.

You might have to read a little but honestly the material was interesting anyway. You will have a few papers to write but if you ask for feedback he will make sure to set aside time to do so. He was funny at times and really made the class more interesting. Recommend taking him if you can.
