Reviews of professor Kris Erickson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She is awful. Her class was too long, and not at all needed. I think she's on a power trip. She makes you read masters level readings. She is way too harsh a grader and does not give you the requirements to get a good grade in her class. Also, for the Boston course, beware of the Instagram project. It sucks. I'm sorry if you have her.

Professor Erickson is very nice and tries to give grace to students as they know that all of us in the BOS101 class are freshmen and new to college. Assignments were often confusing & not much explanation happened in class. I learned little, if anything about writing in this course even though it was a writing course. Class was cancelled a lot.

3 of the classes were cancelled to work on projects. 2 were cancelled because of covid. was hardly in the class for more than 1.5 hours. gave a solid lunch break. very easy grader on essays. never really gave busy work. told us not to buy the books, waste of money.

I loved everything about this class and would take it again in a heartbeat. Professor Erickson was kind, clear, passionate about our subject matter, and she seems to truly care about all of her students. I only wish we met more frequently than once a week. It was not difficult, and she was very flexible and understanding about everything. So great!

She does not give clear directions, her assignments are very confusing. The essays are always back to back, sometimes she assigns two at the same time. Beware of this course. The group project is a pain too. She also keeps track of who has their cameras on.

Terrible Midterm, makes you read her own pieces of writing, no help when it comes to writing advice (This is a writing course), lets you out of class early most of the time.

I honestly loved her. She made class super interesting and I wasn't afraid to voice my opinion! She canceled class a bunch of times for time to work on papers/projects and often let us out super early. Participate in class, make it fun, engage with your peers it'll be worth your while!!

Lots of work in this class, but its mostly a writing class. Prof. Erikson is fair tho. I like that it you struggle you can talk to her and shell help. Cares about us and how we are. Responds fast to emails. And at times is funny!

Professor Erickson is an amazing human being and professor. She has gone out of her way to check in on students and genuinely cares about their wellbeing. She also gives creative freedom and very helpful feedback!

In the beginning, she grades extremely hard with little direction for assignments. Not many tests, but several assignments. It can be hard to get in touch with her, especially due to an online format during COVID.
