About this rating

Raw average: 4.89/5 from 118 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

MATH 467
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Erman is seriously the best professor I've had at this school. He cares about his students and the subject and his passion rubs off on you. Exams were extremely fair and he gave specific practice problems so you knew what to expect. Funny, caring, responsive to emails and in office hours, the list goes on. Take a class with this guy if you can!!

MATH 222
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
I took MATH222 with him last fall and I realize that he will be the best professor I'll ever have. I became a math major because of him (I inevitably dropped out after I realized not everybody is as good at explaining concepts as he is). He is perfect. He's funny, caring, and clearly, extremely intelligent. Everybody could pass calculus with him.
