Comment:

By far the best teacher I have had so far. She is very enthusiastic and makes difficult concepts easy to understand. This class requires a lot of out of class time for work, but other than that it was great! Easy to talk to and she involves her students and really cares about what they have to say.

I thought this class was great and I learned alot. It wasn't too difficult, there was not alot of work, and everything you needed to know came from the very organized powerpoint lectures. Karin is enthusiastic and conveys the material well.

LOVE THIS TEACHER! She's really good at lecturing - she's not boring and the material is pretty easy to understand and actually interesting. There's not a lot of work for the class (1 project, about 2 in class assignments, about 2-4 homework assignments, and 3 or 4 exams) but the work is pretty hard. She wears the best shoes!

Enstam is an awesome professor! She tries to be funny, and she sometimes succeeds. She dresses really well, and her lectures are more interesting than not. I never use the book, just use her slides and lectures. The tests are pretty simple if you study diligently. She grades on curve. She's super nice and fun to be with.

Comment:

This class isn't always extremely exciting, but it's good for a GE class and Enstam really cares about what she's talking about. Be careful with the tests... they can get a little tough, so don't cram with them...but she uses curves, so that's always a plus.

Comment:

I really enjoyed these classes. They were a *lot* of work and there were like a billion assignments (be prepared to do ridiculous amounts of zoo time for 414). The tests are kind of hard, but she does have a curve and a reasonable grading system (i.e. assignments worth more than tests). She's very nice and interesting, I recommend her!

BEST TEACHER! Very interesting class and she gets really into the lectures, making it very fun to go to. You dont really need the book much if you go to all the lectures. The test information is basically straight from the lectures (she uses powerpoint makes it easy to know what the key concepts and info are)

Enstam is awesome! I love every class that I have ever taken with her. Her method of teaching is clear and to the point. She clearly states what it is she expects of you and leads you up to that. A couple of her classes were very tough, especially the tests, but with some serious studying you will do fine. Her enthusiam is great and she will d

I loved this class. Best instructor I have had at SSU. She is helpful and a great teacher. She tells you exactly what you need to know from her lectures and her hw assignments are helpful. I chose my minor because of her. She is adorable. Tests are challenging, but if you study you'll do fine. Incredibly interesting material. Take this class!!!!!!!
