Easy class if you have some background. Lots of reading, but easy.

Amazing prof

her tests were really hard. a lot of reading

Great professor - clear, fair tests, get long answer questions ahead of time.

She is a sweetie.

I LOVE HER!!!

Krista is a great teacher!

Easy proff- good tests and straightforward readings. Take any of her courses, cuz it's easy to get an A

i thought she was a really sweet prof, organized lectures. but the topic itself, psychological measurement, tends to put you to sleep at times.tests were easy if you did the readings...she gives you 3 essays 2 prepare b4 exam, 1 will be on the exam.

By no means an easy course, but Prof. Trobst makes it interesting. She is the best professor I've ever had. York is very lucky to have her!

I took Krista for psych measurement and psych testing and she was just great. made the lectures as engaging as the subject would allow, and always helps out if you ask questions!

easy A, MC very straight forward..long answer is basically memorizing 3 short essays from the text and then rewriting one of them on the test (you don't have a choice...she picks one without telling you before hand). Lectures are pointless..just study the text (really really well)...TA was horribly unfair with marking the essay portion of the test

Krista is amazing! She can make the most boring material fun. She is very knowledgeable, and has a lot to tell from her own experience. She's very approachable, fair and helpful too. Read your book well and you'll get your A. Her TA, Laurie Hollis-Walker, - rigid and dogmatic, difficult to deal with when it comes to extra marks on tests.

She's a great professor! Her lectures are very clear. She really knows her stuff so you can just study the textbook if you want but you'll up your chances for an A if you show up to class and let her make them so easy to understand for you.

great prof!! i took health psych with her over the summer & she was very clear and easy to understand, doesnt assign any papers but but be prepared to read ALOT. there were 3 exams, each was combined with M/C & 1 essay question. you can see that she really wants her students to do well!

The best proff and an easy A. Easy tests as she basically gives you the essay question.

Truly kind professor. Really helpful and willing to meet up with you for any problems. Lectures are basically the chapters she wants you to study so didn't really need the textbook. Tests are chronological for better recall. Easy presentation mark. Only challenge is the essay since she does check sources.

Excellent Professor. Exams are directly from the slides. All multiple choice exams. Fair marker. Always has time to meet up with students and discuss problem areas. Overall helpful and fair professor.

recommend for psyc students or non majors

She is always there for you, truly a genuine person. Lectures are long and not mandatory, read the book and memorize the slides.

She explains the topics clearly, and she helps you achieve a good mark, but the tests are hard and asks detailed questions. Make sure to read the textbook thoroughly to do well on the exams.

She really prepares you well for the tests by explaining the material in the book clearly, but it is important to read the book throughly to do well on the tests. The tests are heavily on the textbook readings. Also, prepare for the short answer question because it is worth 25% of the exam. Overall, good prof!

simply loved her. very helpful and reasonable. her tests are very easy.

Very sweet lady. Very fair exams. She gave us hints for the short answer questions on exams. Multiple Choice questions were also fair. Lectures could get boring at times but reading the book is essential- lectures are only there to clarify any misunderstandings.

She is very nice. Her test are very challenging. You must study the textbook thoroughly to get a good grade and the long answer part requires you to exactly repeat and write what the book says to get a decent grade.

worst midterm of my life

Professor Trobst was the only prof at york who has pushed me to work harder, after seeing what she is dealing with and still persevering. She's very clear about what will be on the exams. M/C and short answer. BUT she is very clear about what she wants to be written for the short answers. She responds to emails super quick as well. One of the best

Awesome professor. Dr. Trobst is knowledgeable and nice.

Professor Trobst is inspiring! I received an A+ in her class, and although studying required a bit of effort, it wasnt that difficult. For her class on personality theory, you need to properly learn her slides. She doesnt focus on the textbook. Make sure you come to class, as she grades you on whether you have attended class.

Grading was mainly weekly chapter quizzes and two exams. Total breeze. My fellow students were horrible to her and the TAs with constant complaints about literally everything. I would take some of these ratings with a grain of salt. The lectures and choice of TED talks was interesting. She was always really helpful when I contacted her via email.

She's such a great prof! Krista is so understanding and caring. She gives really good feedback and marks very fairly. Highly recommend

Was supposed to be in person but ended up online the entire term. Had weekly quizzes, 1 assignment & 3 tests (based on textbooks & lectures). Marking was reasonable. I would focus on reading the textbook and watch her lectures (recorded) at a faster speed as specific concepts from only the lectures were sometimes on tests.

She was very accommodating, understanding, thorough and I appreciated her relating her experiences to the course material. It helped give a personal aspect and living example to back what we were learning. Dr. Trobst made sure she covered everything and more in lectures to ensure we were well informed. Thank you, classes were very interesting!

The course material is very interesting and valuable. She held classes online and the lectures were recorded too. The tests were fair and overall a good course to take if you are interested in health/medicine/science/ The course breakdown was quizzes: 20%, exam 1: 20%, exam 2: 25%, exam 3: 25%, & a report: 10%.

Ignore the bad reviews!!!! I swear! We were graded by bi-weekly quizzes, three tests, and one TINY assignment, and that was it! The lectures are long, but I watched her recorded ones on 2x speed, and they were pretty interesting. She's really inspiring, and I learned so much. Also, the exams were online and multiple choice ;)

Professor Trobst is awesome. She replies to emails promptly and cares for students. You can definitely get an A in this course if you attend the lectures and study well enough. The exams are very fair and enough time is given. I strongly recommend to take the course with her.

Dr. Trobst was extremely kind and considerate of student needs. She gave plenty of tips for exams, extended deadlines, and reduced content for exams to make them more manageable. Lectures were a bit long and monotonous but were supplemented with valuable and insightful anecdotes. Some organizational issues + heavy in terms of assignments, but fair.

idk why the rating is so low. i have taken many psyc courses and she genuinely is one of the best profs ive ever met, even better than peter and jennifer lewin. yes she did miss some classes due to her health condition, but who doesn't get sick sometimes? course material is insanely easy to understand and study. i wholeheartedly enjoy her class.

Responds pretty quick to emails, and shares a lot of her health struggles that relate to the content, which helps to understand the material better. Lectures content heavy but very interesting. 3 tests, small assignment, and weekly online quizzes. Lectures overlap with the textbook which is helpful, but still need to read the textbook.

I thoroughly enjoyed attending Dr. Trobst's lectures as she has ample experiences that she incorporates into course content that makes it relatable and memorable. You will still need to read the textbook, but the material felt much easier to digest after attending her lectures. Very flexible and understanding, would definitely take her again!

I'm very surprised by the negative reviews. The prof is amazing, her lectures are very interesting if you have any interest in health psychology, she's very inspiring. The only downside is that she's quiet and doesn't record lectures. Tests (exam incld) were VERY straight forward and if you did your readings (which is a lot) you will do very well.

She is very kind & generous; she'd remove difficult questions from exams & her grading breakdown is very friendly. Her lectures can go off tangent in personal experiences but it really helps reinforce the content better imo. The assignment was a nice exercise and overall, you learn some useful health advice like the importance of social support.

By far one of the best professors at York! She is incredibly helpful, easy to talk to and gives very clear guidelines. Her lectures are inspiring and she makes them personal, and also gives plenty of examples! The textbook overlapped a lot with lectures and the TED talks were fun to watch! The exams covered lectures, textbook and TED talks.
