Reviews of professor Simeon Ehrlich

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I know a lot of people don't really like Dr. Ehrlich's style, but honestly he is much better when it comes to in-person lectures. Throughout the pandemic he got pretty overwhelmed when it came to posting the lectures on time, which was understandable but also a hindrance. If you're not at all interested in ancient history then don't take his class.

Dr. Ehrlich is the best professor at the department of classics. I can remember almost everything from the lecture since his lectures are very organised. He cares for his students and he encouraged me several times. He is a tough grader mostly at the three last big questions where he requires depth and bredth.

Even though the classes were online and recorded on a low-quality mic that sometimes made it hard to hear him, I loved taking Dr. Ehrlich's class. His teaching style is effective and clear. He handled the difficulties we experienced in class due to COVID in a fair and professional manner. I'm taking two more classes from him next semester.

Honestly if you can, try to avoid this teacher. He's a hard marker, exams were so so, he goes fast over his powerpoints like he'll talk about one topic and go straight into another one without letting us process the information, he says the definition of a word first THEN gives us the word itself and moves on, overall not the best teacher.

Professor Ehrlich definitely still has to adapt to this University (he's new). He does not share his powerpoints on Moodle although they only consist of images which would've made up for his lectures' lack of structure. Also you gotta be SUPER specific in your exams' answers as he takes points off for the smallest detail. Not 200 level standards.

This class has a lot of readings. If you are not going to do the readings or keep up, avoid this teacher. Late at posting his lectures, material does not keep you interested.

Sad to say this class wasn't good. Given tests about names and dates rather than essays on cause and effect, surprising and disappointing for a history class. He posted content late and said that he wouldn't try to change his procrastination issues. He should have taken on fewer courses. Super nice guy, I feel bad but I didn't learn anything.

Pop quizzes almost weekly on readings, but they are expected and not hard. Great prof, understanding.

He can be a bit boring during lectures due to his monotone voice and there's a lot of readings you gotta for the midterms and final exam. If you pay attention and note down specific details when he mentions an artifact or site, and extract some context (and some more details) from the readings, you'll do fine! I personally enjoyed his classes.
