Accounting can be such a boring and difficult subject, but Erickson made it pretty easy to understand. He gives weekly quizzes after each chapter to make sure we're up to date with the material, they're not too hard if you study. He really cares for his students and will respond to emails and provide great assistance during office hours. Great guyACCT1201 2016-04-27 17:42:43 +0000 UTC
Congratulations BYU on landing this professor. Erickson is a personable, clear, and understanding professor who unfortunately will not be at Northeastern past Summer I 2016.ACCT1201 2016-04-26 14:29:30 +0000 UTC
One of the best accounting professors at Northeastern. I really struggled with accounting this semester and he was able to guide me so much along the way. If you seek him out for help, he will 100% do everything he can for you. We are losing a great guy. Utah State, you are lucky to have him. Wish he was staying in Boston!ACCT1201 2016-04-20 21:47:33 +0000 UTC
Professor Erickson is an amazing professor. He is genuinely passionate about the subject and truly cares about his students. He always is willing to go the extra mile and help his students. Unfortunately he is leaving Northeastern to work in Utah but I wish him all the best and if you ever have the chance to work or learn from him do it!ACCT1201 2016-04-14 10:14:23 +0000 UTC
I thought accounting would be incredibly boring, but Erickson made accounting as exciting as it could be. Not only were lectures engaging, but he was super helpful with any questions you have. You can really tell he cares about his students and does everything to help you succeed.ACCT1201 2016-04-14 10:13:44 +0000 UTC
People would only rate this class hard due to the nature of the course. Prof Erickson is a super good teacher and is probably one of the best I've had at NU. He gets you well prepared for the tests and explains everything really well. Highly recommended.ACCT1201 2016-01-12 19:33:29 +0000 UTC
Professor Erickson is my favorite professor at Northeastern thus far. He's such a great guy, really enthusiastic about accounting and very clear when explaining topics. He really wants his students to do well and takes his time to make the class fair for all students. He's a really funny guy, and literally everyone in the class respects him.ACCT1201 2015-05-05 16:43:43 +0000 UTC
Amazing amazing professor! Always there to help you and answer your questions. Test are fairly hard, but he won't test you on things he didn't cover in lectures. Mostly are multiple choices and long questions. Very funny, gives occasional anecdotes in class to ease tension of accounting! He made me like accounting!ACCT1201 2015-04-28 17:58:01 +0000 UTC
Still figuring out exactly how he wants to structure the class but does an awesome job making sure the material is covered and will stop for questions. Quizzes are only for practice, he reviewspreps you well for exams. Has genuine knowledge and interest about the subject. Very approachable and friendly, enjoys teaching. My favorite prof so far!ACCT1201 2015-03-23 17:09:24 +0000 UTC
Instead of posting answers for handouts or just printing out the entire handouts with sample problems like other professors do, he made you write down everything which SUPPOSE to be sample problems or the answers to them. If you don't follow and pay attention 100% you will get lost. He drops the lowest grade of HW and QUIZ.ACCT1201 2014-08-16 18:16:10 +0000 UTC
Great teacher he makes the class funny take him.ACCT1201 2014-04-14 21:20:30 +0000 UTC
Great professor. Really funny and nice. Actually switched my concentration to accounting after taking this class. Must take him.ACCT1201 2014-04-13 14:51:39 +0000 UTC
Professor Erickson was a first year professor this year, but he did such an amazing job! He was clear and helpful and hilarious and you should definitely take him if you get the chance!ACCT1201 2014-04-09 13:19:08 +0000 UTC
