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.

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.

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.

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.

Comment:
I am currently in statistics and do not feel adequately prepared after taking introduction to research with professor ernst. My current professor assumes we discussed a lot of material in research that was not covered at all. I'm disappointed because I'm a hard working student who is trying to get a good GPA for grad school

Looks like someone below didn't like their grade! Work harder, kid. Read the syllabus. Yes, Dr. Ernst's class is tough- but you learn SO much! It's better to take her class and get a B than take some easy class and get a free A, if you truly care about expanding your knowledge. Funny, interesting, caring, intelligent- she's the perfect professor!

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!

Don't be fooled by her spunky attitude! If this class was based on her personality you'd get an A, but it is not! I studied everyday for this class and I only got a C! it is absolutely crazy! her exams are extremely difficult! Some people were glad to make Ds, that is how awful it was! if your're looking for an easy A, DON'T DO IT TO YOURSELF!

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.

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 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!

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