Reviews of professor Yasmin Trout

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Trout is kind, but her class is unpredictable. Her lectures and hw assignments don't prepare you for exams. Has unclear grading criteria leading to low grades on the first couple of lab reports. In terms of teaching style, she just reads the textbook via ppt. Her prob solving mistakes happen too much which makes learning harder. Has extr cred

Textbook did not reflect questions asked on the exam and the grading criteria was lacking overall. The class test average was a low D or F and most of the class was struggling with no curve. It could have been an interesting class but unfortunately the guidance to be successful lacked in every area significantly.

She did a pretty good job on explaining things, but made lots of mistakes in her lectures. She gave tons of practice problems to prepare for the tests which was really helpful. She grades labs pretty hard, but if you ask her how to improve she wont hesitate to help.

almost impossible to get A... extremely difficult tests and harsh gradings with too much hw that doesnt prepare u for exam questions. takes 50% points off just because the final answer was implied and not explicitly shown... class average on an exam is 72 and she says she made it too easy... no extra credit either because "summer class"

Gives way too much homework there are errors in her lectures and she speaks far too fast. She also is a though grader so be weary. Sometimes she is easy to contact other times not so much. However, she is a kind and great person overall I don't think the transition back to in person classes was very good.

Professor Trout is amazing, she actually cares about her students. She is a VERY fair grader, but don't be fooled, this course is TOUGH. She is helpful, clear, informational and will work with students schedules to have review sessions. She is by far the best professor I've ever had at DVC. You'd be foolish not to take her course.

She cares about her students but the level of difficulty on her test makes it impossible for me to get an A. If u take her class, you have to be aware you gotta go fast because she goes and talks incredibly fast!!!! No kidding, it's like if she's had an energy drink each class or too much caffeine. TOUGH GRADER!! LOT OF HW!!!

Tests were very difficult and her answer keys for practice exams had multiple errors, while some did not have any solutions provided (blank question on the key). Goes back and forth grading labs harshly and leniently. Would not take her again.
