Attendance is very important because he takes off points for every absence. He's a tough grader but if you follow instructions you'll do good. Lectures are really good. He goes into detail for every subject. Although he's a tough grader, I would still take a class with him again.

Mr. Sarabia doesn't provide study guides. He is such a tough professor, likes to put people in the spot. Also, the exams are difficult because he just tells you to study the whole book which is insane! Just because he was valedictorian in high school doesn't mean we should too!

Awesome professor! Always answered messages quickly and graded very quick. I took his minimester and I had no problems at all. He gives tons of extra credit opportunities and makes his class as easy as possible. There were dissuasions and 2 exams throughout the class. Overall would recommend to take a class with him!

Online class. He gives tons of extra credit opportunities and makes his class as easy as possible I got an A+ without even needing to do the extra credit assignments. There were discussions and 2 exams throughout the class. No lockdown browser/webcam. Easy A. 10/10!

First year attending college, and I think I've potentially found the best professor I'll ever encounter during my pursuit of a master's degree! Admirable, well-mannered, and actively available and willing to aodt his students (and the whole Rio Grande Valley community in general) whenever necessary. Offers INCREDIBLE amounts of extra credit too!

Alex Sarabia is the best professor I've had at South Texas College, and I have taken classes not only in Starr County Campus, but also at Pecan Campus and online. I've taken him in person and online and both have been great. He has even been the first and ONLY Faculty (Professor) of the Year in Starr County Campus and in the psych department.

I took Mr. Sarabia online and don't regret it, he organizes his Blackboard course so well, grades right away, always replies to emails / messages quickly, and is very understanding of students. I don't know how a professor so young like him has so many achievements. STC should hire more professors like him, no wonder he was Faculty of the Year!

I loved all of his psych classes and also being part of the Starr County Campus Psychology Club. He wrote great letters of recommendations for me for work and graduate school. Highly recommend! He has many awards, is well-known, an RGV celebrity, and a very humble and nice professor.
