Dr. Kim Ernst is very helpful and tries hard to help her students. Take her Into

Dr. Ernst's door is always open and she is more than willing to help!

I really enjoyed her class. Her class is hard. I made an F on the 1st test, but studied for 3 days before the second one, and made a 90. Hardly anyone will make an A in the class, but you will learn an awful lot. Good to talk to one on one.

work for an A. boringggggg as hell but you can get an A if you come and read. Nice lady, funny but loses train of thought and random lectures.

A very good teacher and willing to help. She expects a lot out of her students, but you will learn more. She has sudden mood swings and a really bad temper, but you can avoid getting on her bad side if you pay attention and follow directions in class.

she has a bad temper and sudden mood swings, but overall i really like her. she is very friendly, willing to help, and clear about what she expects from students. people tend to either really like her or really not like her.

Awesome person, so ready to help and very knowledgable. will bend over backwards for you. test are hard and long multiple choice. great for research. Definitely take.

tests are all multiple choice and are hard. You learn a lot. shes better for intro to learn things than any of the other teachers. very easy to get a hold of and if you want help shes very willing to help

Increased my interest for Psych. Hard tests, but not if you study notes and read text. Classes are fun and enjoyable. She's friendly, approachable, cares about her students, and is clear about the material. Definately take her!

shes great

Very nice person, good teacher. She is very serious about following directions, not talking in class, ect. SHe can be EXTREMELY hard to track down when you need help, she's hardly ever in her office and she's always late. I mean REALLY, REALLY late. Good overall though.

I loved her!! I really did.The tests are multiple choice and a little hard, but if you actually study its not problem at all. Go to every class and shell give you extra points. Going to class made a world of difference!! Shes also very nice and helpful outside of the classroom. Take her!!

She is very nice, energetic, & passionate about the material. The class is interesting but the tests are hard. They are multiple choice but many of the questions are ambiguous and confusing. She goes on tangents often, but her class is my favorite. It is enjoyable. Take her!

She is really into her teaching and gives off the impression that she loves her work. She gets a little carried away in lectures and tends to not cover all that was planned that day, which leads to test being pushed back.

Incredibly entertaining and funny lady. Class is very fun and interesting yet she often gets so off topic, she never covers material in time for tests which make them extra confusing. quesions are also difficult but mult.choice. always late but who cares? very kind and will talk to you and help anytime she has available. LOVE HER TO DEATH!

I took multiple classes with her and loved all of them. She can be difficult, but if you do the reading and put the time into studying you will be fine. Always willing to talk and help if you are having problems. She is very energetic about her work and makes you excited about it too!

I love this course, and I love Dr. Ernst. She is probably one of the best teachers I have ever had.

most of the other comments summed it up: she's nice most of the time but if the class messes up she can become...flustered. Not always there during her office hours. never covers the amount of material expected. has lots of examples. will get off subject easily. very fun class. definitely recommend her. research was kind of hard

Overall a good teacher. Brings very fascinating stories and examples into lecture, but she tends to stray too far off on tangents. She only covered like 1/2-3/4 of the information she intended to. The tests were all multiple choice and mostly applied questions. The optional study guide is VERY helpful, and there's a copy in the library.

LOVE HER! She is wonderful and makes you want to go to class. Her tests are tricky but if you study and understand the material you will be fine. She is the best teacher I've had at Loyola by far.

awesome

Great lady. Uses examples that help you understand the material. Takes roll. VERY scatterbrained. Goes on random tangents. Takes days to cover one section of material. Test questions are not direct but put into real life situations. Slightly difficult, but overall loved the class and LOVED ms. ernst.

She's a really nice person, and she tries to make classes interesting. She cares about everyone and is good to talk to =]

She is AWESOME!!!

Why does this woman not have a hot chili pepper?!?! I AM BAFFLED. She uses great examples during class and keeps things interesting. Everyone is always laughing. (: LOVE her. <3

the optional study guide book is a lifesaver. chapter summaries are great and if you can do the entire practice section you will probably ace the test.

Amazing teacher! She is super nice and explains things very well. Open to questions and always willing to help. Difficult course. Optional study guide is very helpful for tests. Suggest actually reading the chapters.

Dr. Ernst, please don't listen to the person below. You are hilarious and entertaining, you care about your students ACTUALLY LEARNING, and you make everything fun!

Great, fun, intelligent lady. Would take her class again.

She is the best professor at Loyola BY FAR. This woman could get a job teaching at Harvard or anywhere she wants, IMO.

the research proposal is 50 percent of your grade. do every single homework. kind of crazy but very awesome and sweet and smart. do it!!!

She clicks very well with students. Like a favorite aunt, more than a professor. She does take the time to get to know you individually. Makes a really dry subject interesting with her examples. You do have to follow her rules--but the point of the class is learning how to follow APA instructions, so it's not her fault. Stay on top of assignments!

I couldn't imagine having a better teacher. I had her once first semester last year and I'll spend the rest of my four years trying to get her again. Her class is NOT easy at all, you'll work for your grade, but every second is worth it. She's fun, smart, and generally just an amazing teacher. Highly highly recommended.

She is definitely not the easiest teacher, but she is definitely worth taking. She has amazing teaching capabilities, and although she is a little nuts at times (like all Psych teachers) she is still an amazing teacher! My Intro to Psych class was a lot of fun and hard work. You will definitely know your stuff after taking her class.

Ernst was a great teacher! I got a B in the class but I didn't put as much effort into the class as I should've and NEVER read the tb. Reading the tb would probably help a lot. She's engaging and super helpful towards her students. She appreciates students who take the time to visit during office hours. I def recommend her, just put in work!

study as you go don't way till the last minute!

Ernst is fun but, teaches things the way she sees them. Once you understand how she understands the concepts, you'll be fine. Reading the textbook is the difference between an A and a B in her class. Final exam is just a composite of previous exam questions.

Kim Ernst is amazing. Her Intro course prepared me for Social, Abnormal and Developmental. Her class was difficult, but to be honest, I didn't do all the reading. Yet what I did retain was a firm foundation for future courses.

I absolutely adore this professor. She taught me more than I thought I would ever learn and after her class I have decided to declare a psychology major.

Though she doesn't always show it, Dr. Ernst is very sweet and willing to help, as long as you put in the work and follow her rules (e.g. no cell phones in class). Grade was average of 6 exams, which aren't easy, but they're reasonable. Buy the study guide, and review your test with her during office hours! Good attendance gets you extra credit.

Dr. Ernst is by far my favorite teacher at Loyola so far. Her lectures are intriguing, engaging and honestly a pleasure to listen to (if you're interested in Psychology that is). The tests can be hard, but not if you're prepared. She asks that you read the textbook as we cover each chapter, but she also gives you a vocab list before each test.

I LOVE Ernst. She is amazing and the one teacher that actually cares about her students in and out of the classroom. She will LITERALLY call you if you or your friend have not attended class. She's the best, and gives great advice.

You will remember everything this woman says to you. Amazing lectures, however if you sit in the front row be prepared to be questioned a lot. But Kim is a very sweet woman and very helpful and caring. Only tests, no papers, don't miss a class because many things she mentions only in class will be on the test.

Dr. Ernst is by far the best professor Ive encountered at Loyola. Her lectures are so interesting. Dont skip class, and youll get extra credit at the end.

Best psych professor at Loyola. 6 tests (including the final), no papers or quizzes. Offers bonus points for attending most of the classes. Usually offers more extra credit for participating in research. Extremely personable and always open to talk in office hours. Gives great advice. She does talk a lot and get off track. Overall, take her class.

Good lectures. It's an easy A if you read the textbook and show up to classes.

If you have the opportunity you need to take prof. Ernst she is amazing. By far my favorite prof. at Loyola.

I love her so much, taking her class online now intro to research (PSYC) and I would not recommend taking her class online, she gets easily distracted. Attendance for Intro Psych, she made it so that if you didn't miss too many classes she would give extra credit. Pay attention to examples, she uses them on exams. Also look at the library resources

Ernst is one of my favorite teachers at Loyola bc she cares for her students but you also have to put work in. only 6 tests so kind of difficult to pull your grade up if you do poorly on tests but offers extra credit and will work with you if you go to her. highly recommend taking her if given the chance, but be prepared to put in some work

Your grade depends on your tests. Professor is really caring and looks out for students. Her lectures dont cover all the material, but her tests are only on what she covers. Pay attention in class. Follows the syllabus pretty well. Dont take a online class if you get distracted easily, you have to pay attention.

Professor Ernst may seem long-winded, but this teaching style is so helpful for understanding and retaining complex concepts. She makes her expectations very clear and provides more than enough resources for you to succeed in her class.

STUDY FOR EXAMS. They're the biggest/only grades you'll have as she doesn't give much homework or assignments. Wonderful teacher, engaging class. I have ADHD and it wasn't a struggle to focus, which surprised me. Don't be disrespectful, no phones in class, she makes kids leave if they're disruptive. Otherwise, she's an absolute sweetheart.

Dr. Ernst is a great teacher, her class is hard and there are not a lot of tests so it is hard to get the grade up if you do bad on one test. I would 100% recommend her class!

There is no homework, but be sure to study a ton before each test, since that is the only part of your grade (there are 4 tests per semester). Study the terms/ concepts and read the text book. She is very strict about having phones and computers out. Some test questions are solely about what we did in class so be sure to show up!

This is the second class I have taken with Dr. Ernst, and she really is a one-of-a-kind person and professor. I adore her as a person, but she takes forever to grade and grades very harshly but does leave good feedback. Her tests are also confusing. She knows her stuff, though, and is very interesting.

Dr. Kim is a good professor & I quite enjoyed her class. I was hesitant at first because of the previous reviews, but she wasn't as bad as they stated. She's actually very sweet and willing to help. Tests are the only grades, so definitely study! I think there was only one or two class periods where she was in a bad mood, but I would recommend her.

I loved her class! As long as you study and read you'll make a good grade. She sometimes goes on tangents but it usually has a little to do with what we're talking about. I don't really understand why she has so many bad reviews.

If you pay attention to class and take notes during her lecture you will be more than fine for the exam. I really loved her!

Love her. So caring and attentive. You have to study tho
