Very intense, hard quizzes, even harder exams. Takes the whole class period for VERY boring lectures. Do not turn in your work vi email, sometimes he doesn't get it and then will mark you paper lower than it originally should have been. I hated this class, but he's a nice guy as an advisor.

Lots of lecture, but tests laughably easy. I never studied for a quiz. Teaches like a middle school teacher. For an easy A, take Stalder. The final was mostly questions taken word for word from the quizzes. Seriously an easy class!

Learning and Conditioning Class. If you like Star Trek you will like Prof Stalder, he's a huge Trekkie and you even get to watch some episodes for examples of what you are learning in class. He's a very helpful person.

You will study a lot! But you'll learn a lot as well. Tests challenging. Never lets out early - usually keeps you a minute after. Nice guy.

Dr. Stalder is a great professor... he can be dry at times... over-all a great teacher.

Real nice/helpful guy, will go out of his way to help out a student. Lectures are real dry and you have to pay REAL close attention to pick out what's important, it's not obvious. Exams don't really match up with lecture notes all that well. Okay prof all in all

This class is very interesting. You learn about the flaws of society. I find myself relating life to information I learned in this class. Attend class. It's not required, but he explains the notes a lot better than his overhead says. Tests aren't too hard. Very interesting class.

I absolutely loved Professor Stalder! He made class interesting and fun. His lecture notes are very organized and his tests weren't too difficult. He also shows a lot of video clips which are helpful. Many of his exam questions come from the textbook however, so you should do the readings. Overall a great class, and a great professor!

I really liked Stalder! He makes up crazy, fun ways to remember the material. He assigned a few problems out of the book once a week that were helpful to most people (I got by just by listening in class). I would highly recommend him if you want to learn something and take a fun class!

Very engaging, knowledgable, and insightful professor. Class content is a bit difficult, but he does a very good job of providing examples and answering questions. Class attendance is encouraged, as he rarely uses D2L, and most of the tests are based off of lecture notes.

Also had him for PSYCH 215 - easily my favorite professor! He's extremely knowledgeable, is always willing to meet with you, and has fun ways to help you remember the material. I would take any class that he is teaching!

He is really hard to listen to. He does not present his ideas/concepts in a way that is easy to understand. His overhead notes are organized in a way that is hard to comprehend. He's nice but very dry. It is sometimes hard to take notes because you don't know what is important and what's not.

He is the best professor I have ever had. If you study what he puts on the board, their is no reason you shouldn't succeed.

He takes everything really slow which sounds like a good idea when dealing stats but it actually gets annoying and repetitive. If you struggle in math-based topics, take him but if you have a semi-decent math understand, take someone else or else his pace will drive you nuts.

Nice teacher, but his lectures are very boring. Staying awake can sometimes be difficult. Exams can be challenging, and he makes you study a ridiculous amount of material for them. Probably won't take any more classes with him for that reason.

Dr. Stalder is HILARIOUS. He has a great, dry sense of humor,and it was awesome. He is overall a really nice guy, and he is very interested in what he teaches. So much so that it can't help but make students make the best of the lecture hour. I definitely recommend Dr. Stalder, especially for Psych Stats

Stalder's lectures are very clear. He even tells you what will be on the test. If you don't like to study, this is not the class for you. You have to read each textbook chapter and study lecture notes and vocab. It's a lot of work, but it's really worth it. You can even argue your answers on assignments and he may give you points back.

Stalder is hilarious! He's kind of weird but he knows how to relate to the students and he makes a lot of funny jokes. He memorizes everyone's name which is what made me like him. If you study, the tests are pretty easy. There's a in class quiz every couple weeks, sometimes hard. Skim over the book & take good notes and there should be no problems!

Also had him for stats, he's great. He tries to be funny but it's more like a dry humor, i still laughed a lot. Every couple weeks there's a quiz and they're somewhat hard. You have to read the book and although attendance isn't mandatory you should go to class for the notes. He learns everyone's name which is super nice.

I personally think the psych teachers at Whitewater are not very good. Dan Stalder proved me wrong. Best psych teacher at this school in my opinion. If you show up for class & take notes you will do great. He wants his students to succeed!! If class does poor on an exam he will possibly find extra-creditalso goes over correct answers. Minimal hw.

Professor Dan Stalder was the best professor I have had in all my years at this school. He is a wonderful speaker and makes his lectures extremely funny with cool anecdotes to remember most everything and really ensures his students understand the material. Tests are a little tough. PLEASE TAKE HIM! I will take any class he teaches from now on.

Dr. Stalder was an amazing professor. He is one of my favorite professors I have had so far. He was great at making sure everyone knows the material before moving on. I have learned a lot. This class takes effort, but with Dr. Stalder being the professor it is definitely worth it!

He's a nice guy and is understanding and helpful. He likes to make alot of jokes during lecture. His homework is not hard and doesn't take too long to do. With that being said, don't miss lecture. He doesn't post his lecture notes online and study guides aren't clear. The book is pretty expansive and if you don't read it you will not pass.

Dr. Stalder is a fun professor. There isn't much homework assigned, but you need to take notes in class, read the book and study to do well in stats. He really wants students to understand stats, and is willing to help students. Tests are tough, so study!

Dan is a great professor, he understands that many people don't like math (stats) and will make sure to spend extra time on anything that is not understood. He moves at a comfortable pace. His tests are difficult and are based on his lecture not what is in the book. Tests often include specific examples he used or small details instead of big ideas

Dan is funny and super passionate about his field. His quizzes and exams are tough because he asks text specific questions (like "which of these was NOT a title in the text?'). Otherwise he's a very engaging professor and cares about his students. I'm a social psych buff myself so I thought this class would be easy, but he's a tough grader.

Seemed really awkward at first, but he's actually really funny and knows what he's talking about. Bit of a dork, but a great prof!

Does really good at explaining the material in lecture and is very considerate if you are sick or have something going on.

He is an AWESOME professor. He genuinely cares about his students and he definitely knows what he's talking about. He is very strict on how you word things and quizzes/exams can be tough. Very smart individual and very goofy. He will share cheesy jokes here and there but that is the best part in attending class. Definitely recommend him!!

Professor Stalder has been one of my favorite professors so far. He genuinely cares for all of his students and is always there for extra help. I was very worried about this course but he made the class so enjoyable and worth taking!

4 midterm exams with only 30 multiple choice questions and 1 final exam. A few easy homework assignments and lots of extra credit opportunities. Professor Stalder really cares about his students and wants them to do well. Will study with you and help you on the homework. Keep in mind you need to attend class and study to do well in this class!

Stalder is a great guy, a little goofy, but he really cares for his students and wants everyone to pass with flying colors. Class isn't mandatory but you will want to go. Stay on top of text book readings and you will get an A.

He might seem a little bizarre at first, but he's a really cool guy. Tries to make sure everyone who wants to be included is. Very respectful and understanding of students and their lives. Lets you leave early after exams (at least in PSYCH 211)

One of the best professors I've ever had. He goes above and beyond to help you understand the material. I am not good at math and I'm doing much better than I thought I would in Stats. Dan gives a lot of opportunities to do extra-credit & loves when you ask questions. His notes are really helpful and I highly recommend going to his office hours!

He is a great professor. He doesn't speed through his lectures, and he makes sure everyone has written down the slides. He is really laid back, cool, and easy going professor. Once you complete an exam you can leave. He is always willing to talk to you after class or during his office hours if you have a ?. Definitely one of my favorite professors.

Professor Stalder is very understanding for his students. He is lecture heavy, but it's only because he loves what he does. He does tend to try to relate to students to make the class seem shorter and to draw your attention back in. I would take him if again if I had the opportunity.

Professor Stalder is a great professor. He constantly repeats himself so that you know that something is important. He also cares for his students and constantly offers more office hours and encourages you to come in for a one-on-one. His overall teaching is amazing and he is very quirky and fun to be around. I highly recommend.

His lectures can be boring because his voice is kind of monotone. He always encourages students to ask for help if they need it. I'm not a fan of his tests/exams because some questions are worded weird. He is very quirky like Spencer Reid. Not too hard but if you don't read you may struggle. His slides are great for taking notes tho!

Very interesting and smart guy. Go to class, take notes, and trying some will guarantee you pass. He's a little odd, but definitely one of the best professors at the university.

Dr. Stalder is my all-time favorite professor at Whitewater. I have learned so much from him and he is a very nice guy who is willing to help his students. He offers lots of extra credit opportunities and is funny during lecture. Be prepared for textbook reading and try to stay on top of it because it will show up on exams!!

Professor Stalder is a great guy and he really cares about all his students. The class is kind of tricky, especially if you are not a math person- and he wants you to read the math textbook. He is so nice and funny though, he makes a crappy class not so bad.

One of the best professors I have ever had. He is incredibly smart and excited about what he teaches. You can clearly see that he loves social psychology and loves talking about it. He offers very interesting insights and makes sure to say when he disagrees with the textbook opinion. If you have the opportunity to take his class, take it!

Stalder is an AMAZING GUY. I am terrible at statistics and even though I didnt get the grade I wanted I know I learned so much from him. He did his best to help me and would constantly tell the class to come to his office hours. He always gave up his free time to help students. His lectures made it fun in a hard class.

Professor Stalder is a great teacher. He makes sure to use mnemonics to help you remember stuff for the exams, and relates his material to different everyday things. He repeats himself a lot so that you make sure you got it down. Dan has a dry sense of humor and it makes class enjoyable. As long as you study you'll do fine on the exams.

Stalder is a great guy. He always wants his students to succeed. Lectures are super interesting and you can tell he loves what he teaches. Only downfall is he has super tough exams so make sure you study really hard and go to his office hours!!

Prof. Stalder is a nice guy, he does a good job of explaining the material. If you miss a class you're gonna want to know what you missed. The only thing I don't like is that he doesn't have a laid out plan, just randomly tells you he put an assignment up. I like to know well in advanced.

He is a great professor and is always available to help people outside class when they need it. He explains the material well and the homework assignments are not to hard as long as you pay attention during lectures .

Dan is probably the greatest prof Ive had. I took psych 211 online and we had textbook and lecture notes to take, it is very material heavy but if you put in the work you will do great on the exams. 1 assignment per chapter but its easy with the notes you take to get 100% on them. He does try to make lectures fun but in a prof way

I had to take this course online due to the pandemic, and Professor Stalder did a great job teaching statistics online. He is very kind and laid-back. He always repeats and discusses material that someone might be struggling with. This course does require a lot of work, and those who skip class will likely not do too well!

He has a goofy personality and a bland sense of humor but that's what made his lectures interesting. He doesn't have a set plan on assignments and often gives assignments throughout the course. His exams are challenging and hard, so you will need to study. He also takes a long time to grade. Otherwise nice professor.

Pay attention to lectures (80% of tests) and take notes. Read the textbook and make sure you understand key concepts. If extra studying one on one is needed, he is very available to help! Great guy, hoping to take him for most of psych classes!

Dr. Stalder is a great professor. Very lecture heavy but goes over everything you need to know. Leaves room for questions and often leads into conversation about movies or things unrelated to the class (which is a nice break once in a while). He's very quick responding to emails and is a kind professor.

Dan Stalder is a great professor and I loved going to his class. He is very easy to talk to and he has no problem going back if someone doesn't understand something. The class itself is difficult but Dan definitely tries his best to make it understanding. weekly homework and not a lot of reading but the exams were definitely tricky.

Stats class with him was a little weird online. Lectures were doable and the homework was not too hard. The fact is, is that you are graded off of so few things though. One bad exam could shove you into a poor grade for a final grade no matter how you do on everything else. He gives excellent feedback and office hours are very productive.

Professor Stalder is an amazing and charismatic person. Despite my course with him being online, I always felt extremely connected and engaged due to his efforts to include some humor in his lectures. There is a lot of reading required in order to be successful, but if you do the reading and watch the lectures the tests will be easy.

If you take Dr. Stalder just be prepared to read the book and watch the lectures. Statistics was hard but Dr. Stalder was always available for me. I attended all his office hours and extra sessions. If you do whats expected of you, you should do well.

Dan Stalder is in my top 3 all-time favorite professors. Read the textbook, read the readings, and take the dang notes. It's an easy A as long as you pay attention and truly attempt to grasp the material. Assignments can all be 100%s if you go to his office hours and show that you have tried on the questions. He is very accessible, and caring.

The homework is very lecture and textbook based so make sure you take good notes on the lectures and read the textbook and you should be fine. His office hours are accommodating and he is always available to answer any and all questions through email.

I don't know what all these bad reviews are talking about. He was great! Show up to class. Take notes. He gives extra credit, he is not hw heavy, and he offers so many office hours and opportunities to get help. He tells you everything you need to know (no self-teaching). He was kind and tried to be funny. I don't see why everyone is hating on him

Dan has the amazing ability to create connections and make the class seem personalized, even in it's online format. There is a lot of reading, assignments, and multiple exams, but as long as you do the readings and listen to the lectures they are not very difficult. This course was one of my favorite psych courses that I have taken so far.

I don't understand why people dislike his classes so much. I took Psych 211 online, and his lecture videos are engaging and at times fun to watch, I legitimately enjoyed watching them. The assignments and exams are easy As, even if you do the bare minimum by taking notes along with the lectures and readings. He's a super sweet guy.

Dan Stadler cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He has office hours from 1-8pm Mon-Sat. He knows what he is talking about and is very passionate about teach. His class is difficult and a lot of work if you want to do well on the exams. There's lots reading, but he tells you exactly what you need to review and gives hints for exams.

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews on here? At first, I would say that I wasn't a fan of his lectures, etc. but after taking a couple exams you can tell that he really sets you up to succeed on them. All you have to do, to do well, is pay attention, read, and take notes are you're already 80% of the way there.

Kinda slow in his explanations, but gets to the point eventually. Very nice and willing to help you understand, funny guy. Makes class interesting if no one else will

Wonderful professor, willing to help, and funny. Has some dry humor (which I appreciate) and really tries to make class engaging and informative. Always has office hours open so getting help isn't hard, but sometimes difficult because they are BUSY. People pop in and out for help, so definitely MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

Dr. Stalder is a great teacher any reviews about him that are bad are either because the student was lazy or didn't go to him for help. The course is obviously not a piece of cake, but he practically holds your hand throughout the entirety of the course. If you go to class, takes notes, and do a little bit of studying you should be set.
