I took her Honors class and thoroughly loved it. She is very clear and her lectures are entertaining and informative. I would HIGHLY recommend her to serious students who enjoy learning.
she is a very good teacher. she knows how to teach but trust me you dont want to be on the receiving end of her tests. Brutal and very tricky. you have to work extra hard for what you want.
Dr. Krinsky is a good teacher, but if your legs get cut off the day you suppose to turn something in, you better find someone to wheel you in to turn whatever it is that you have to turn in. She gives out easy notes, but her test can be very painful. Be careful on her trickey tests and quizzes.
Dr. Krinsky was a very wonderful teacher and I enjoyed her alot. She is a very nice person with great examples and stories to share about the class. Her class is very informative and she is very helpful. Her test are tricky but if you study, you will be pass. Class participation is a must.
No Comments
She is a very interesting teacher with a great learning style. Just be prepared for test and do all quizzes. No slack!
Dr. Krinsky is a very professional teacher. She is prepared, and makes you work very hard. She is fair and very funny. She makes you feel good when you try hard.
I took Dr. Krinsky for a half semester psych 1101 class. She makes psychology very interesting. She tells lots of great stories and helps if you ask. Tests were not tricky if you just study her notes. Overall a great teacher!!!
I loved having Dr. Krinsky for psych. She made it interesting and she made concepts that were difficult more easy to understand. She was very helpful. I definitley enjoyed the class and I would definitely recommend her.
Dr. Krinsky is a excellent professor. She really explains all the concepts covered until you understand. Her class is not boring at all. It is very fun and she makes you look forward to the next lecture. The topics covered are very interesting. I Love this Professor! Take her!!!
Dr Krinsky actually makes psychology "fun." She does an excellent job of explaining concepts by example, getting the entire classroom to interact in discussion and it's true, you do find yourself almost looking forward to the next lecture. Great teacher to have for an introductory Psych course!!! I'm looking forward to taking her for Abnormal psy
This is the teacher to take if you want a teacher who really cares if you understand and can apply the learned concepts.
DR. KRINSKY IS A GREAT TEACHER. I LOVE HER CLASS; HOWEVER, I MIGHT FAIL IT. SHE IS VERY CLEAR. BUT THE HER TESTS ARE TRICKY, BE CAREFUL.
I loved the class. She's a great teacher and gives LOTS of examples. Her quizes can be tricky so watch out for her "Read the directions" quizzes. I highly recommend her.
Ms. Krinsky is a cool teacher and she is very good, she really knows what she's talking about. She's very easy to understand, but her tests are difficult and she gives a lot of pop quizes and some take home quizes. Study hard and you'll get an A
dr.krinksy is a very good teacher. i enjoyed her class, she makes sure you understand and you able to apply the concepts. always "read the instructions" in her class. the tests are tricky.
She is the BEST teacher EVER.Even if u're not interested in psych. take her class. I wish all teachers were like her. She cares about her students and makes sure they understand. Her classes are VERY interesting... Take her and u'll make an A if u do the work.
GOOOOD LAWD this is a hard class! It's online and all but the exam questions and book don't always see eye to eye. THe book will give you an answer then contradict itself in the next paragraph. Kim, however, will answer your questions quickly and try her best to help you to isolate which answer is the right one. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.
She gives tons of examples. If you have a question ask and she'll explain everything. Her tests are kinda tricky and you have to read directions. Overall a great class and interesting teacher
She is a great teacher. She is cool as hell. TAKE HER CLASS...
This teacher may seem a nice person in the classroom, but she isn't actually. She teaches well, but the tests are so long, tricky and not cover everything she taught. You need to put a lot of effort in order to get a good grade. I don't like this pyschologist. Stay away from her!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent Prof. She gives plenty of examples and will spend an entire class answering questions if needed. Tests are long, but stay true to material covered. You MUST study your notes and reading the chapters will greatly improve your scores. Always read and follow the directions on tests/quizzes!!!
Yes, she's an excellent teacher who is extremely receptive to student questions however, she teaches PSYC 1101 like it's a graduate course. Be prepared to bust your chops!!!
Great Teacher Krinsky. Wonderful and interesting. She makes you want to come to class. Just make sure you read any and all directions. Respond to her verbal questions, and do a little studying, and you will get an A. Its not a hard class, but it requires some work, like any class. Just go to class and enjoy her being your teacher.It was fun for me.
Dont take her. She was not helpful at all. She also grades too hard. She wants your report to be exactly a certain way!!
I have a 4.0 GPA and took her class online. I must say that I could be getting my first B. The online class is harder and you must really study everything in the book since noone explains anything. You must rely completely on yourself, no help. Must study everything in the book--her tests are harder than i thought they will be.
Very Clear on what she expects, not very difficult she just expects you to be involved! Test are not very difficult if you do the work. great teacher and very sincere.
SHE LOVES QUIZES EVERY SECTION ; INVOLVES ALOT OF READING. I TOOK THIS CLASS ONLINE AND IT WAS WAY MORE WORK THAN ACTUALLY GOING TO CLASS.... THE ADVANGE IS, IF YOU READ YOUR BOOK YOU SHOULD DO WELL IN HER CLASS.... SHE DOES HAVEWRITTING PROJECTS AND PERSONAL PROBE HOMEWORK THAT STUDENTS ARE TO SEND IN TO HER VIA MAIL... HER WRITTING ASSIGNMENT FO
I loved her class. People say her tests are hard but they're not as long as u read the materials before the test. The quizzes were very easy too. She's so nice and so helpful. I'd take her for every class if I could. As long as u r willing to learn, she'll do whatever she can 2 help u. I wish sh taught every psyc class at gpc.
Krinsky is a helpful and interesting teacher. She is lively and passionate about psychology. However, her tests are sometimes tricky. One can study their butt off and still flunk her test because of the way she words the question. It is not a course for an easy A, but if you want to learn and be amused at the same time then take this class.
Had this class online, over the summer. Very straight forward indeed. Didn't do any reading until I was actually taking the exams, then just found the answers on the way through. Ended up with over 99%. Can't really comment on her teaching, but she did seem to respond very promptly to any queries students had on the forum.
I absolutely LOVED her and her class! She is an amazing teacher and goes above and beyond "the call of duty" to help students. I had questions that were beyond the material & she was able to help me and if she couldn't she directed me to someone who could. Her tests are tricky, but if you know the answer you shouldnt have a problem. excellent!
am sorry to say, but yall that like dis woman hmmmmmmmmm. she is a hot mess, eventhough i had a B in the class. she is just so mean, but she tries to be nice.pls dont take her
I think that if your going to take this woman's class you need to know that she is not nice. My encounters with her eneded in power struggles. Rigid by the book. Her class is easy but her test questions are tricky read them carefully.
Dr. Krinsky is nice, a great teacher, and helpful.
Im taking her honors class. She is one of the best teachers i have ever had. Some people have a problem because they refuse to participate and are rude to her. Of course she doesnt respond to them well. But if you do your work and PARTICIPATE she is one of the sweetest and smartest teachers. Take her if you want to have an enjoyable class.
She is a great teacher. Very helpful & highly recommended.
she's AWSOME!!don't miss class and you'll be fine.I never participate in class but my perfect attendant helped me get an A in her class.I was scared of psy, but now i wanna become a psy major!her tests are tricky,so make sure you understand THE CONCEPTS VERY VERY WELL.don't try to memorize,it won't help.Pay attention during lecture, and take notes!
Took this professor for Criminology for Spring 2008 online. Read your book & study your material and you will get an "A."
Great online teacher. Got an A.
This was my first time taking an online class. It was very straightforward, no surprises. She responds quickly to email and grading is very fair. Tests were not hard as long as you read. You still have to study and do the writing assignments to make a good grade, but this is college people! Overall great course, would take her class again.
She is an easy online teacher. She gives you the assignments, when they are due, & it is your reponsibilty to decipline yourself to get the work done. Everything is by the book! She answers all questions you have promptly. I would recommend this teacher, but be ready to learn (which is what you are in college for!)
If you are really good at teaching yourself then take this teacher. There are not many assignments. Test are very hard and confusing. Class is not interactive. I think she jst teaches online in her free time. It's not her priority.
You have to read. Tests are hard.
This class was ok, but if you care about your GPA think twice because her test are very tricky. Very disappointed with a C in this class.
Took for abnormal psych online. You learn totally on your own. No interaction to help you learn the topics. Tests are extremely hard even with being able to use the textbook since it's an online class. She is very responsive to questions and appears to know her stuff.
Dr. Krinsky knows her stuff and is quite willing to share. Very responsive to email and has a sense of humor. I took this course online and earned an 'A'. Tests(4 incl. final)are straightforward and there is one written assignment. She takes highest 10 of 14 quizzes. You can't go wrong with Dr. Krinsky.
I took professor Krinsky for Psych 1101 online and it was AWESOME!! She gave me insight on a whole new career path!!! I thought she was extremely helpful, quick responses, and the class is very easy if you do the work!!! Her tests are not tricky if you read the material. She is very straightforward and doesn't give a bunch of busy work. I got an A.
Great online instructor. Be precise in email messages and she'll respond promptly. Read the material as instructed and you'll do well. Tests aren't tricky, simply designed for the 'critical mind.' Good luck.
Prof is great! Very informative, very helpful and very interactive online. My only regret in taking psych with this professor is that I did it online and missed having face to face discussions with her. Expects you to know AND understand material.
Definitely not a bad course. I do recommend it only if you want a professor that is very impersonal and has no apparent interest in helping her students.
This professor highest score in the first exam was 80 lowest score was a 48. The second exam the highest score was a 74 and low score was a 50. She is not helpful and a dummy could have taught the class.
This professor very rarely interacted with the student and when she interacted with me, she came off as a bit rude. I do like the fact that we were given ample amounts of time to complete each chapter set.The test were somewhat tricky. Bottom line... you are better off taking it on campus if you want a good gpa.
Great professor! No required discussions, no classwork, 2 two-page essays (answering questions) only 3 tests total (non cumulative final!!) & a quiz per chapter that is assigned (which are 5 questions each). I loved this class. It was easy to get the work done on time, and Professor Krinsky was very helpful & always responded to emails very quickly
very good teacher .Keep psychology very easy to study and easy for exams too.
Professor Krinsky is not the best teacher for Psychology. You are teaching yourself all the material from the book. There are no weekly discussions and she is not hands on at all. Her test can be difficult because you have to over analyze your answers. She makes up her own test questions however you have to read the material from the book. BE WISE!
This Professor did not communicate effectively with her students online. The comments are true about you have to over analyze her test because she creates her own examples on her test. bE aWaRE:-(
This professor is no joke. 10 quizzes which are not timed and 3 test which are timed. 50 questions on each test with 2 hours to complete. Beware your GPA could be at stake!!
Abnormal Psychology. Dr. Krinsky was a very helpful teacher and I enjoyed taking her class. She is a tough teacher, but will let you dispute your grade if you feel it is incorrect. I highly recommend her- however, you will work for your grade.
Krinsky is the BEST!! I've taken her twice and gotten A's in both courses. Her syllabus is crystal clear and she is extremely helpful. She gives a quality (not busy) workload, and doesn't assume you have no other classes. She wants to see you succeed and has been the most influential professor I've had. Her tests can be tricky though, so read!!
I had her for 1101. There are no discussions in this class, which some people may have had issue with. I liked it, I was not confused with information other people wrote and were wrong about. Her tests are very difficult, but if you read and ask her questions with what you are struggling with, she will help and provide examples. Very Responsive
I am not a psych major but I enjoyed this online class. There were 3 exams, 2 cases study reports and 1 graded discussion question. I had no problems with her. I recommend buying the study guide to help with her tests.
I enjoyed the class with Dr. Krinsky (best online class experience I have had), her class was very clear and easy to follow. She didn't give too much work, which made it easy to keep up. Her test can be tricky, so you do have to study, but a good grade is easy to make if you want it.
Awesome teacher, very helpful, you can't go wrong with her. Easy quiz on every chapter, easy Exam on every 8 chapters, ample time on all. 1 simple paper and 1 written project, easy. Discussions are optional (no grade), no group work. Take her, she's great.
I took the online half semester class. Learned a lot and class was super easy. Lots of review test and 3 major test. But and easy A.
The greatest!!!! She is awesome, never any doubt about what she expects. Approx. 13 quizzes,(easy, plenty of time). 4 exams (super easy, plenty of time. 1 paper and 1 written project (easy). Learn a lot and still super laid back. TAKE HER!!!
I took her Abnormal Psych class online. I had a rough start on the first exam. I emailed her and asked her what I could do to better prepare. She sent me a detailed email. It helped so much. You know exactly what she expects day one. She tells you 3 due dates and it is up to you to do it. Very straight forward. I recommend her.
If you are interested in Psychology, use someone else. If you take her online class, be prepared for self study. Yes, she answers her emails but she doesn't teach at all! Uses test pool. I read the positive feedback and was expecting this great teacher. Nope. All I found was an absent teacher. Not impressed with her at all. Disappointed.
I took this class on line half semester/Spring 2012 and it was a great class. The test and quizzes are easy if you read the chapters or scan over it. She will answer your emails. No stress and good timing on quizzes. I highly recommend. Take her!!!!
She was horrible! I took her honors pyschology and it was the worst mistake. Several of us received less than failing grades on a semester long project even though all the material was there. She expected graduate level students who were only freshman. Beware if you take her for honors!
Took this class for half a semester. Very easy class. If you make less than a B it's your fault! 8 quizzes, 3 exams, 1 critical thinking exercise and 2 extra credit chances. I didn't even read the book but I still passed. Exams are more difficult then the quizzes but still easy. Quizzes have NO time limit on it. Assignments remain open.
I enjoyed her online class and I will recommend every student to take Intro to Psyc online. Thanks Mrs. Kim Krinsky you are the best online instructor I ever had.
Dr. Krinsky is the best. I took this course half term on line. 2 non-cumulative exams and a non-cumulative final. 3 quizzes and 10 self reflect. exercises. I made a C because I missed the first exam. No make up w/o prior permission. She is clear, fair and follows her syllabus. Tests out of the book. Wish I could take her for Abn. Psyc next sem.
Dr. Krinsky is very nice and answers emails quickly. She uses browser lockdown for quizzes/exams. Wording on exams can be tricky. Quizzes are unlimited time, exams are 50 questions and timed.
It's an interesting course. I liked how Dr. Krinsky organized it, but the tests are hard. I took online 1/2 of semester, got a "B". 13 qzs/3tests/discussion aren't graded. During the test you'll have only a 1-1.5 min. to answer the question, which I think is not enough. Make sure to make higher scores on each test as it'll give you an extra credit.
Do not take this course from this instructor. Poor excuse for teaching coupled with completely unrealistic expectations. Additionally, she requires students to rip pages form their textbook, and if you purchase a used from the online store the pages you need are already gone; but she demands you have them anyway. AVOID THIS INSTRUCTOR.
Kim Krinsky was an awesome teacher. She is straight forward and to the point. She does not require a lot but she does want you to read the material. I would definitely recommend her online class for single parents are full time workers. The quizzes are only 5 questions and the exam is timed but only 50 questions. She is great!!
This was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. The work is extremely light and easy. Dr. Krinsky pretty much lets you learn on your own with the guidance of the textbook and her notes. Take this class for one of the easiest A's ever! Also very interesting and helpful material!
Quizzes are simple but the test are hard and consist of 2 or 3 chapters. The test are 50 questions long and you have 90 minutes to complete, that's not enough time to look up the answers. I would suggest printing the study guide glossary for each chapter and using it during the tests. I failed the 1st test and was 1 point away from getting a B
Easiest class, I've had thus far. I took her for first-half summer class and the 3 weeks flew by, no papers to write, discussion post not mandatory, just keep up with the quizzes(14) and exams(3) . Gives extra credit if you score higher on your next exam than the last.
One of those professors who has a 20 page syllabus, then blames you if you accidentally misinterpret the uber-specific wall of text. Condescending & VERY strict. However, if you take notes and read the material, the quizzes and exams are noncumulative, therefore they should be a breeze.
I took this course as a mini-mester online. The layout of the course is very well organized. The syllabus gives a clear explanation of what is expected, therefore minimal instructor interaction is not required. There were 3 exams and 10 quizzes (one dropped); all were very straight forward and simple if you read. There is also one discussion post.
Took her for my online psyc1101. Easiest class i have ever taken. Could have got an A but i didnt have my book by the first exam. quizzes are 10 questions and super easy and three 50 question exams. Would deff recommend taking her for psychology
She's an amazing professor but make sure to read every bit of the syllabus to receive an A. Tests and quizzes can be found online. 1 discussion. A lot of opportunities to earn an A.
Excellent teacher, tough grader on discussion questions. I wish the quizzes would have been more than five questions. Overall, she was an excellent professor.
Dr. Krinsky's class was an easy A for me. I took the 3 week mini semester session. All you need to do is read the chapters by the end of the week, go over the ppt slides, and test yourself with the practice tests at the end of each chapter. Make sure you're following the due dates of the syllabus. Everything is outlined for you to succeed.
Dr. Krinskys class is very self-lead. You must have a good sense of self discipline and be on top of your own due dates.
Dr. Krinsky assignments aren't that difficult just make sure you read the syllabus. If you so happen to miss a test or quiz don't expect to retake it. She sticks to her syllabus and really don't care if you miss anything. But overall the class isn't that difficult the teacher is just tough and inconsiderate. But I would never take her again.
Dr Krinsky is very harsh & will deduct large amounts (50% or more) points for small non academic errors that can easily be overlooked or excused. Example- if you emaied homework via icollege rather than mailing it in via post office or her assignments link. The syllabus is long, if you mistakenly forget something she takes off points no exceptions.
Seems like this professor does not like answering questions and is a little rude when answering through email.
Dr. Krinsky is very tough and harsh. Have to pass the syllabus quiz or you won't be allowed into her class. The syllabus is long and unorganized. If you accidentally miss a deadline, you aren't allowed a retake. She is a very tough grader with essays and will deduct points for any small error. Definitely, WOULD NOT recommend taking!
Dr. Krinsky is extremely knowledgeable but has high expectations which did not always seem very clear. It's very difficult to read into people's personalities online, but some of her replies to students came across with a condescending tone. If you study the textbook extremely hard, you will pass. Just don't expect a lot of grace or extra credit.
Gives you all the work up front. Lets you work at your own pace. Does not accept late work.
Professor Krinsky does an amazing job explaining what is expected of the class and provides clear feedback on assignments. Her lectures were easily comprehensible and straightforward. She truly cares about her students and goes beyond what is expected to help students out.
Just like any online class, she's lovely and cares for students and their education
Everything is VERY self regulated, so if you don't pay attention to deadlines you're doomed. However, everything you have to do is very easy and straight forward. She does use Lockdown for her tests but they aren't monitored.
The class & material were fun to learn however The online class could have been it more interactive. Dr. Krinsky allows you to self pace with your assignments as long as the assignments are completed by deadline. I was unhappy with how harshly my final essay was graded especially since the syllabus essay instructions were vague.
She requires us to take pages from the book to complete a portion of this class. I recommend a physical copy of the textbook and thoroughly check each page making sure none are missing. Provides little feedback and deducts points very easily. The workload was very little but the structure of her course can definitely be improved.
Very reading-heavy. I took the mini-mester along with 2 other classes and at some points felt overwhelmed but that was my own doing. Quizzes are open book but tests are not, but the study guide provided clear guidance. Dr. Krinsky was very responsive and when I had a conflict with a test date she allowed me to take it a day later without problem.
She doesn't apply herself as a teacher, and has very unclear requirements. The self-reflection assignments will have very straightforward questions like "Where do you usually study?". If you just reply to the question asked, it will be considered as "too brief" and "lacking substance".
This class wasn't too difficult. You only have 3 exams. Many quizzes but the 3 lowest will be dropped. If you miss an assignment she WILL NOT open it back up. So if you have a habit of forgetting to turn in things don't take this class. Not too much work in this class. Have one major discussion assignment and she will be a tough grader for that.
This class has a manageable workload with 3 exams and plenty of dropped quizzes. The major discussion assignment can be tough, but using unstuck AI for study prep is a lifesaver. Overall a solid course.
