Comment:

I was so excited to take this class and was seriously considering architecture, but Enns completely turned me off of it. Class never started on time, assignments were unclear and projects were only ever made to suit his style. If you look past the prof the course is dynamic and different, really good eye opener!

Nice, but very difficult to understand what exactly he is trying to get at sometimes. very little guidance for an introductory course.

Comment:

Herb, as he prefers to be called, is a nice guy, with a dry sense of humor. That being said, he isn't what I would call a great professor. He claims to be extremely helpful to students but even when you seek him out he often doesn't clarify any of the questions you have. His assignments and vague and his lectures often do not relate to assignments

Seems like a nice guy, sometimes funny. However, his classes are absolutely pointless. His lectures do not relate to his assignment or course at all. GPA booster though.

Comment:

Herb seems like a very intelligent guy, I definately didn't find a single class of any use, and had a hard time relating any of his lectures to his odd assignments. However, it is an easy course if you put in the time to complete the assignments. His humor is very distinct and i never heard more than 4 people laugh at his jokes.

Comment:

Doesn't explain any of the projects and expects you to somehow know how to do the work... Shows random videos in class without explaining what they are supposed to mean to us... Over all, poor prof.

Comment:

Never emails you back. DONT buy the textbook, its a waste of money! Never required one reading from it. He never lectures his own class, always "guest speakers" or movies. Last assignment is to build a chair out of scrap garbage. (Pointless and time consuming) Marking was unfair and judgmental for a first year course! Super disappointed!

2 year program. Try to get out in 2 years; you're held back. Stay for 9 years writing meaningless garbage that Herb controls and get praised. I wonder if the new Dept. Head can teach this old dog new tricks.

THIS IS A 2 YEAR PROGRAM! Put your money where your mouth is, Herb. Instead of promising your students you'll get them out in 2 years, DO IT! Stop making people stay for 9 years, just to boost your ego! We want to be architects. This is supposed to be a professional program.

Comment:

Stop using your students for these little "projects" of yours that only aim to boost your own overinflated ego, instead of having them focus on their own work. THIS IS A 2 YEAR PROGRAM!!!!! Not 4, not 5, not 9. A year and a half for classes, and half for thesis. Overtime isn't acceptable anywhere else, so why here??

Comment:

way out there... has no logical approach to architecture. Plays favorites and is completely rude to some. be prepared for him to stare at you blankly and then walk away as if he has sent you some grand message through his mind.
