Reviews of professor Erika Halverson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Erika was a good prof. She has really good feedback and is accomodating. Doesn't like when you ask for extensions the day before the paper though.

She assigned 100-page jargon-filled readings every week as well as textbook chapters. The textbook was interesting though. Her lectures consisted of a powerpoint that was copied and pasted from the readings. She would read them slowly, and add very little to them for context. She stated several incorrect things. VERY BORING. And I usually like this

I have Erika for my Indigenous Peoples and the Law class. She is a good teacher. She is engaging and sometimes makes awkward but funny jokes during her lectures. She doesn;t have regular office hours during the day so it's harder to meet, but she has accomodated virtual meetings. I like that she doesnt use textbooks and provides the readings.

So much reading. I actually went to speak with her about how much reading there was. She actually showed me one of her former course outlines, then I understood its less than other profs. I didnt mind the PowerPoint, but could have been a little less boring. She did a good job explaining things and really helped with my research.

Though I can appreciate Lakehead employing a young professional, I think this lecturer needs some time to mature into the position. We are merely 4 classes in and though the readings are factual, the lectures usually consist of debating false information that is contrary to what was learned, all of which are guided by the lecturer. Unimpressed...
