Dr. Karlsson is a very nice person and wants your group to succeed. However, she isn’t very clear in the milestone instructions of what she wants, and hence she does grade a bit harshly despite seemingly good feedback, and she is very nitpicky in your design briefs. |

Dr. Karlsson is a very nice professor and clearly wants to see your team succeed. She's reasonable with extensions if shipping delays inevitably happen. My only complaint is that the class is a little disorganized. We essentially went from "here's how to build a nightlight with an Arduino" directly to "figure out how to build a fully-functioning robot". I will say that she and the LTFs were incredibly generous during the final runs for MS7 and she gave everyone a substantial boost on that grade. Since she's a chemical engineer, her background isn't in robotics, so there's a bit of self-teaching that goes on. Overall, however, a solid professor for ENES100. |

Very nice and tries to be as helpful as she can. She was understanding throughout the course, she wasn't that harsh on grading and as long as you actually take the time to coordinate assignments with your team and complete them early enough to properly edit. She leaves a lot of feedback on assignments which is helpful because it gives clear expectations about what she wants in the future. I would definitely recommend going to open lab hours as much as possible especially once you start building your robot, don't be afraid to talk to other LTFs and ask a lot of questions - people at lab hours are always happy to help and if I wasn't persistent about going to open lab hours and asking a lot of questions our robot would not have been remotely finished or working well. |

I would not recommend taking this professor for enes100. To start, she is a chemical engineer and this class is all about building an autonomous robot so it deals pretty much only with mechanical and electrical engineering and also coding. So she was no help whenever our group (or any other group) ran into problems as she had no idea what we were doing. I gave her 2 stars instead of one because as a person she is nice but is very very harsh on grading. this class is supposed to be an easy A class but I am pretty sure not a single student in our class ended with an A. She would not make her expectations clear on what she wanted from the design briefs as she just gave you the assignment and never even talked about it in class. On top of this, she is not very lenient on extensions. One of our laptops with all our code for the robot got fried from the Arduino and wouldn't turn on and she still wouldn't give us an extension. TLDR: nice person but way too strict on grading and can't help you with nearly anything in the class. if you want an A in the class take someone else. |

Dr. Karlsson has been a great teacher for ENES100. This was her first time teaching it but she knew her stuff and prepared for it. Her grading for major project presentations could be harsh at times, but she always made her expectations very apparent to the class. Expected a lot from you but was always willing to help you learn as long as you tried. |

Has high standards, but is very open to working with students to help them. Works hard to help students work on specific interests within the class. Lectures are engaging and easy to understand. Exams are long but fair, and several past exams are given to help study |
