Reviews of professor Erik Larsen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He has an open door policy and I went for help at least once a day. He is very patient & explained things clearly. He even offered recitation sessions to help us work thru hmw problems and review . I took advantage of all these opportunities and in the process I noticed that participation by those who needed it the most did not occur. Great prof!

Obviously smart, but terrible at teaching. Explanations are wordy and unclear, and he has bad people skills on top of that. Gets annoyed when students don't have hours to spend on homework daily and can be condescending. Good teachers don't make students feel like their questions are stupid. Exams are awful, kiss your gpa goodbye.

Tests are super hard and not based on lecture at all. Will make it very clear that he is from Michigan.

Will assign 40 homework problems that take 7 hours and none of it helps you for the test. Tests are impossible. Ruined my mental health. Asks questions on test that is learned 3 weeks later in class. 80% of class dropped, or have a D or F. Say rest in peace to your gpa.

EriK is one of the best professors at Bloomsburg. His first year of teaching was rough because he used Dr. Osburns style of lecturing and tests. That format did not work for anybody. Dr. Larsen saw that and knew he had to fix it which he did exactly. His office door is always open for when you need the extra help. He is always willing to help.
