Comment:
Remote learning with Krista was a bad experience. She is not cooperative with her students unless they complain to the department. She is not considerate of others' personal problems. Her lectures are a waste of time because she talks about herself more. The course content is interesting, however, she does not know how to deliver the content nicely

She cares about the content but at the same time is very self indulged. Spends most lectures talking about herself and often has trouble getting materials posted in time. I have no doubts that in person she would be a great prof but would advise others to avoid her online classes.

Comment:
Don't waste your time. 40sec/mc. Since schooling is online, every 15 seconds she brings up her ms and how it is related to the course material. Shares a story about herself then talks about course material for another 15 seconds. Back to her stories. Don't waste your time. Most disrespectful prof I have ever had. Treats students like trash.

Comment:
Mixed emotions, she cares about the material and for that I give her full credit. I have no doubts that she would be a great mentor for someone who is truly interested in the material. However, if this is an elective and not necessary for you degree don't bother taking it as you will regret it. Tests are tricky and she doesn't do many favours.

Would have dropped this course after my first lecture if it wasn't a prerequisite for me. This professor muted the chat during online lectures, refused to post any lecture recordings, didn't provide clear or good feedback for the exams, and overall just an awful experience. Avoid at all costs unless absolutely necessary

Comment:
Inaccessible outside of class - left everything to TAs. Very disorganized, and left all communication to last minute. Health Behaviour Report, 3 exams & 12 quizzes. Exams & quizzes on Connect ($$$), 49-50 sec/question on exams. Behaviour Report was tracking and changing behaviour for 2 weeks and applying concepts learned in first half. Frustrating.

Comment:
The course was unorganized, but the marks came from a bunch of different places which was good. The tests were textbook heavy and very specific questions were asked making them hard. I would not recommend this course as an elective. You have to memorize the textbook to even do descent. Quizzes were mark boosters though.

Comment:
After reading reviews, I thought I could understand that she sometimes needs time off for her MS. But taking this class is FRUSTRATING! Prof & TAs pass duties off each other, questions not answered. Will inform students last minute abt exams, or addressing concerns. 80% of mark from Connect ($$) & tested on inane facts. Not there to help us learn.

Comment:
She is a tough grader and not very considerate. This is considering she was not able to come to a lot of our classes (which students pay for) because she was too sick to come to class. Going to lectures are also useless since she basically just reads her slides the entire class.

Worst professor. Teaches students nothing (& reads off PPT) and then tests on difficult material that was never covered? She does not give clear guidelines to any assignments and then grades hard. Usually students get a letter grade with no feedback. The entire course involved presenting a bio on celebrities and she lectured 5 times in 8mnths.

Comment:
Her lectures are extremely boring and she reads them off the slides, however her exams are not that bad. Some multiple choice questions were extremely unfair and ridiculous however since she asks so many MC, it doesn't matter. She gives you the long answer questions and you have to answer and memorize them, as long as you do it you're fine.

Comment:
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.

Dr. Trobst is really inspirational and knowledgeable. Her lectures were pretty boring- she just spoke the entire time. Everything in her lectures came straight from the textbook so if you read you'll be 100% fine. Grading scheme was pretty fair.

Comment:
She's incredible and strong, and I have nothing against her. But, Measurement in Psych was really boring. She monotonously read off her very text-heavy slides for 3hrs, Idek what the textbook was going on about, and the tests were also really hard. This course isn't mandatory for anything, so I wouldn't recommend it. If you do take it tho, read up.

Comment:
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

Do yourself a favour and dont take any of her classes. She doesnt respond to emails and cancels classes before the exam. Her tests are insanely difficult with no correlation to her boring lectures. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Went to lectures and did the reading and still could barely finish her exams. AVOIDDDDD

Comment:
People are so rude... yes, she cancels lectures but thats because of her medical conditions. She tries to account for this as best she could (e.g. she made the F2017 term final based on just the textbook readings.) That being said, her lectures were barebones anyways, so getting the textbook is mandatory to succeed in this course.
