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.
Online class 3 (10 ques) quizzes & Discus. a week (MWF) then one test (25ques) due every Monday . You can get ahead in class by a wk. Most answers on tests are on PowerPoint slides (print em out you good) . Gives comments on disc. Answers Emails. 2 quizzes are for xtra credit (total of 12) tideious but easy!!
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!
Tough grader and arrogant know-it-all. Who cares about you being a high school valedictorian? That was ages ago and in roma for crying out loud. Not a good professor. Egotistic and boring.
Mr. Sarabia is such a great professor, always with a positive attitude, you walk in and he has a big welcoming smile. I never missed class, I was always so excited to learn. You work in groups. It is a guaranteed A. Highly recommended, if you want an Easy A, just read and do the work. Super mega easy
Alex sarabia is an awesome profesor.
we rely on our group and power points. Attendance is VERY important and is part of a grade. He finds ways to encourage us to participate since that is another easy grade to obtain. He is always clear in what he wants and encourages everyone to do their best. He tries to guide them when necessary and offers extra credit points throughout the course.
This professor is very attentive to your needs. His teaching style is easy to understand and makes it easy to learn the material. I found him to be extremely helpful when I expressed concerns about a project.
Amazing experience taking this professor! Everything is so interesting it makes you WANT to attend class. Not one boring lecture. I highly recommend taking him!!
This professor puts a lot of heart into his work. Seems like like he loves what he does and wants people to know and understand the importance of psychology.
Is an excellent instructor totally recommend him !!!
Very good teacher , gives lots of feedback and extra credit! No way to fail his class!
So far, I have loved all of the psychology courses I have taken!!!!! You need to attend class, it is for a grade. Participation matters; the class is interactive, which makes it easy to retain the material. This is an easy A, if you are prepared with each assignment and exam... extra credit events are also offered throughout the whole semester.
This class was so interactive, so be ready to participate (it is for a grade)... since it is so engaging, it is also easier to retain the material learned. Attendance is part of your grade, so unless you really have to be out, try to never miss. Extra credit is available throughout the semester. Easy A if you learn the material & attend class.
I took a mini mester online and the time flew by. If not mistaken it was a 6 weeks course. The class was easy to navigate. Great instructor.
I have loved all the psychology courses, very interesting. Attendance is mandatory to attain the A, since most of the stuff covered will be on exam. Participate! Attending events throughout the semester is helpful to earn extra credit. Great instructor, i recommended it.
By far one of my hest professeors yet. Tough with work etc but if you show up and study its a guaranteed pass.
The class is very dynamic. He is an excellent teacher, you learn a lot with him.
Sensational professor from Day 1 to the last day! Riveting lectures. Took his class many month of Sundays ago, so I don't recollect well but you good.
I would most definitely take Mr. Alex Sarabias Psychology class again! He is an amazing teacher, and is always eager to teach! He explains his content very well, and is always ready to answer questions when asked! He is very clear on how his grading criteria works, and what he expects from each individual! He makes learning exciting! I recommend!
General Psychology was an amazing class since day one. I truly enjoyed interacting with students and the teacher making friends. I had lots of fun with the group projects and the environment of the class was very good. The professor is very understandable and very kind he treats everyone fairly. Be ready to participate and not be shy!!
A great Instructor who would have lectures everyday. He does he's job and teaches us, and only the students who do there part pass. The Students grade depends on the effort he or she puts.
Alex was a great professor, he made his course to where it caters to those who are visual learners as well, instead of the usual reading of the slide professor.
By far the best class and professor Ive had! His material was very interesting making it easy to understand! Will definitely take more classes from him in the future!
Great class and even better teacher! All information is covered through PowerPoints. Teacher is very helpful. He will answer all your questions, is very knowledgeable. Theres few tests and many opportunities for extra credit. Highly recommend the class.
Great professor
Good professor! You will be participating in class. Great course !
Participation and attendance is a must! But it is very helpful and allows you to be less shy. Study the powerpoints and you'll do fine on exams. You learn so much about the topic since it is very interactive and you're allowed to speak in your opinion and get feedback off classmates. Very easy A!
hes a professor that is very proud of himself and his accomplishments, you can tell he loves what he does, and will most definitely get you involved in the classroom. If youre not social and youre taking his class for the very first time , I guarantee youll make friends with the entire class by the end of the semester. Attendance matters.
I took PSYC 2301 and as a whole this class was very informative, I took plenty of knowledge here and actually used it in real life. Mr. Sarabia is very hands on in his lecture and he allows you to have a voice in his classroom, even sometimes when you don't want to be heard! Truly a class I looked forward to every week.
Mr. Sarabia is a good professor his lectures are really interesting and dynamic, plus he gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, his class is very interesting
The professor is an outstanding teacher who talks very well, is precise about upcoming homework, quizzes, and tests. Grades are given back quickly, and writes very neat.
He is an amazing professor! I loved going to his class. I learned so many thing from him. Im even thinking about going for psychology
Alex Sarabia is an amazing professor! His class of human sexuality is so fun as everyday you engage with your peers in different activities. His test are not hard at all if you study! Overall i would take him again for my other Psychology classes, and i recommend 100%. P.S join the Psychology Club for a chance at a bunch of extra credit :)
One of the best professors Ive ever had!!
Mr. Sarabia is an amazing psychology professor. He loves teaching and truly cares for his students. He is well prepared, punctual, never cancels classes, speaks very clearly, writes very neat, is very organized, and always reminds students of upcoming deadlines. He is inspirational for graduating at the top of his class twice, and as STC alum.
Professor Sarabia is great! I took him for Adolescent Psychology. The class was easy if you show up. Pay attention to the powerpoints for exams. He gives plenty of extra credit so its your own fault if you don't get an A. I'd definitely take him again.
Great professor! Listens, gives opportunities to ask questions, accepts suggestions
I especially liked the participation of everyone during the lectures. Exams were mainly scenarios that made me actually learn the lessons not just memorize them
Mr. Sarabia is an amazing professor. I took many psychology courses with him through out my 2 years in stc and learned a lot from him. His material is interesting and easy to understand, he gives A LOT of extra credit, and is very clear with what he expects from students. I didn't use the book and still received A's in all his courses.
Very good professor! You are expected to participate. The exams are based on the lectures, every detail he talks about is very important! You will need the book for a project.
I took his summer online course. He is great. 1 discussion and 1 exam per week. It is not hard. EASY A.
Basically gives long tests and cares about him and only him dont expect any extra help from him pretty much can be described as a Narcissist and please dont forget hes a LPC he will only mention it about 5 times per class
Hes a great professor to take it with. He is very passionate about what he does, and loves his job as a professor. He gives you opportunities but it's up to the student to take those opportunities that he gives you. Hes strict on late assignments, and as long as you study for the tests you should be good.
He is a great professor. I recommend for students to take this class and learn on how to become a better student in College. Mr Sarabia does his job with a Passion and loves what he does. He is the best Psychology professor at STC. I wish he would teach all of my remaining business management classes.
He's so picky I don't recommend taking his class for the discussions even though you may be a little off he takes a lot of points off it has to be as he likes it so be careful. He is easy to contact and the tests and quizzes aren't that hard as long as you read but discussions may affect you in your final grade.
He gives just about 10 points of extra credit but it does make a difference! He's also really picky with the discussions he claims something is missing and takes points off which I think doesn't make sense but oh well quizzes and tests aren't as hard just read and pay attention
Don't recommend super picky
He is picky with the discussion and takes a lot of points of don't recommend
tests and quizzes aren't as hard if you pay attention to the lecture but he is super picky with the discussion if he doesn't think you are all the way correct he takes off points and may lower you're final grade
sooooo picky don't recommend something as simple like a word can cause him to lower you're grade class isn't hard it's just him if u can take someone else
Great teacher, I don't think he is a tough grader like said, I took this class online in the summer and it was easy, he is a great teacher and not hard. I do recommend you to take him. you will not regret it.
Mr. Alex Sarabia is an amazing professor! I wish all professors were like him! I took online classes with him and he is great at grading the day you submit the assignment or at the latest by the next day. He also replies quickly to emails and his course is very well organized. He is a role model because of his many accomplishments.
Mr. Alex Sarabia is the best psychology professor ever! His classes are so fun and interactive! He is smart, funny, humble, understanding, and overall a great person and professor. His grading is very fair. He treats everyone equally and with respect.
Mr. Alex Sarabia is a great professor I recommend. His classes are so interesting and not hard as long as you do the work. He is a nice person, always willing to help out, cares for students, and is a big inspiration. I wish all my professors were as passionate about teaching as he is. Keep up the great work!!!
Mr. Alex Sarabia was my favorite psychology professor and I took several at STC face to face in Starr County and from other campuses too online. His lectures are great! Plus the psychology club he runs is so fun!!! And he also has written recommendation letters for me. Mr. Alex Sarabia cares for his students & goes above and beyond as professor
Mr. Alex Sarabia is the youngest and smartest professor I know and have had. He has so many accomplishments that serve as an inspiration including graduating at the top of his class in high school and university. He is also an LPC which I aspire to be and is cohost of a YouTube show RGV Stars. He is well respected and known in the community.

Proffesor Alex Sarabia is the best Psychology proffesor at STC. I was very fortunate to have him for both General Psychology where I received a C, and also for Learning Frameworks where I received an A. He is accesible after class, and is willing to help his students if they ask for the help they need.
Awesome and nice professor! His team-learning teaching really helps you to understand the concept. Provides very detailed and solid examples about the subject that makes you learn more. One of the best teacher I ever had.
Mr. Alex Sarabia is a great Psychology professor! One of the best at STC, recommend anyone to take his classes. You will learn alot and he is really passionate about teaching students. He gives a extra credit opportunities and will always be there for you outside of the classroom. You wont regret taking any of his classes!
I have taken all my Psychology classes with Mr. Sarabia and I've always passed them with an A. I think Mr. Sarabia is SUPER inspirational on education. He gives lots of extra credit. You don't need a textbook, everything is on the PowerPoint he provides. His tests are an easy A if you study the powerpoints he provides.TAKE HIM!
Gives a textbook or pdf for the semester, if you review the chapters before exams you will pass. Does provide opportunities for extra credit. Would recommend Professor Sarabia, the class is easy if you read the chapters and pay attention to the information.
great professor great lectures great participation in class funny even most of the time and very understanding with late work with LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT
Mini sem spring 2023. 1 40 question exam and 1 discussion every week. Read the powerpoints given and you'll pass the exams with ease. Write decent discussion replies and you'll get a 100%. He is super lenient, very kind, and very caring. Absolutely recommend. Love this class & hope to take Mr. Sarabia again.
Honestly a really good professor. Gives a lot of time to study and complete assigments. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunites as well to ensure students pass.
I took Professor Sarabia's class as a mini-semester for the summer. The class was very easy, and all the answers were in the PowerPoint and textbook. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and responds to questions quickly. I recommend you take this course with him! The class consisted of several discussions and three exams.
I took this course online and it was really easy for me. He would give many extra credit opportunities. For example, he'd have us watch about 5 short videos and write a short paragraph summary about them. It was really great because he'd give those about every week. As for the tests, there's nothing to worry about because they were very easy.
Easy A! This professor grades homework super fast and is not a tough grader at all. His homeworks are interesting and so is the course. Gives extra credit oppourtunities and I would definitely take this professor again!
Amazing professor. He gives constant reminders about due dates and extra credit. Definitely wish more professors were like him.
I took this course online and it was an easy A. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and grades all of the assignments on time. He responds to messages very quickly. I recommend you take this course with him! The class consisted of several discussions and three exams.
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.
Alex Sarabia is great at what he does! Definitely recommend his classes, a very nice and caring professor. He is also a counselor, RGV Stars YouTube show Host & Producer, Starr Psych Club Advisor, he does so much for the students, the college, and the community. He is someone I admire; I want to be like him: a Licensed Professional Counselor!
Alex Sarabia is the BEST professor I've had, his lectures are so interesting! He is an RGV celebrity and has amazing accomplishments like being high school Valedictorian, university Top Graduate, and STC Faculty of the Year! Even national awards like Top Educator and Distinguished Humanitarian! He's very flexible and understanding. Take him!
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!
The easiest A! he does offer a lot of extra credit but regardless the work is so easy. Definitely recommend.
Professor Alex Sarabia is a very nice, approachable, and knowledgeable professor. I learned a lot in his class. He really cares about students succeeding and you can tell he loves his job!
I felt honored to have Professor Alex Sarabia as my professor, very accomplished at a young age, very knowledgeable, and also very important, very nice, understanding, flexible, and caring Professor.
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.
Professor Alex Sarabia was amazing! Very knowledgeable, caring, respectful, and really loves his job. I would definitely recommend him. More STC professors should be like Professor Alex Sarabia.
