Comment:
She literally is an awful Professor. She never stays on topic, you will end up teaching yourself majority of the content. She goes off on tangents that last way too long and then constantly wonders why she is so behind in class. She does not care for her students at all. Trust me, you do not want this Professor. I actually put in the work too.

Dr. Ernst does care about her students- when I reached out to her about me not doing well, she took the time to go over things with me. However, this class is hard, and very test heavy. Her rambles include what will be on the test. Normally if she doesn't mention it in class then it won't be on the test.

Comment:
Kim Ernst is a very knowledgeable person, she does tend to ramble a bit, but those rambles include material on the exams. This course is very test heavy, with 6 exams and being mainly the only grades throughout the semester. You MUST read the book if you want to pass. She can be condescending to students if there's no participation.

Comment:
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

Comment:
Only gives 6 tests throughout the whole semester so if you're a bad test taker avoid this class. Rarely posts any homework assignments so you can't bring up your grade if you fail a test. Also, takes 30 minutes to actually teach the topic (online class). My class had to teach several topics to ourselves bc she didn't. Not very understanding. Awful.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Overall meh. I had her once and haven't wanted to take her again. Class was moderately challenging, but her tactics of getting people to follow her rules were over-kill. Not a great learning environment for me, but a lot of my friends have loved her.

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.

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.

Comment:
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.
