Interesting material & super easy A as long as you read & understand what it is you're reading about! (and most people will- just reach out if you don't)

The test study guides have exactly what is on the test, but you need to study the definitions and examples of about 50 words per test. He doesnt have much interaction either.

I took Dr. Stav during an online version of DEP2004. The code was mandatory for the ebook and online assignments, but you don't really need the physical textbook. As long as you complete and submit work with shown effort, the class is easy to pass. Dr. Stav is very accessible outside of class and emails/texts back quickly.

Dr. Eli Stav is hands down one of the best professors I have ever had online. Dr. Stav always responds to any questions or concerns you have, and has weekly check-ins with you VIA blackboard messages.

Eli Stav is a great professor to take for psychology. The homework is a lot but is manageable. The test are hard, but he curves by 10 or 20 points. He responds to any concern you have, and he will bump your grade up.

I had Dr. Stav for three Psychology classes and I wish that he taught all of my classes. I learned so much from him and had fun in the process. If you do your work, show up for class, and participate, it is an easy A. Wonderful and caring professor.

DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT take any classes with him. There is so much homework (100 + questions a week). He is very hard on grading. Takes points away if you respond to someone on a discussion board on the same day as it is due. I WILL NEVER BE TAKING ANOTHER COURSE FROM HIM!

Dr. Stav is one of the best professors Ive had at IRSC. He gives great feedback on how to improve papers for a better grade and he responds quickly to emails. His grading style pushes you to understand the material, but hes always willing to give extra help if you reach out. This was one of the best classes Ive taken at IRSC.

Love Dr. Stav. Even in an online class, if you do your work you will get an A. If you go above and beyond on the discussion posts like make them longer, more than three, and spread over a bunch of days he will give you extra credit. Any professor that gives us his cell phone number cares and wants us to be successful. I loved his class.

Dr. Stav is the best professor I've had. He gives great feedback and wants his students to succeed. If you do the small amount of work he assigns for the week, you will most certainly pass. I learned a lot from his class and highly recommend taking it.

Easy A. Do the homework, take the quizzes. Excellent study guides provided for exams. The class is completed in 3 months, so you get the last month of the semester off to focus on your other classes. You do have to read the text book and I highly suggest you do the study guide for an easy A on exams. Such a fun class!

I haven't yet completed this class but the work is already extremely overwhelming even for someone with additional free time. It's only been the first day and I'm already considering dropping the class. There are more assignments than I can count with a good number of them being difficult. If you value your sanity choose a different professor.

Dr. Stav opens up everything for the entire term & you can work at your own pace. The work is straightforward, and he gives you an awesome study guide for his exams. Overall a very easy and manageable class if you stay ahead of the due dates. If you don't get an A, you didn't do the work or didn't study for the exams. Very caring and responsive.

He is definately not a professor trying to fail you or make things difficult. If you do the work you pass. He also provides study guides and nothing that isn't in the guide will be on the exams. Also, he doesn't give extra credit work BUT he does like to throw in a few extra credit points on assignments if you put in thought and effort.

Highly recommend taking this professor. It is a guaranteed A if you do the work. All of the course work was incredibly simple and based off of notes directly from the textbook. Tests reflected the topics learned accurately as well and only 1/3 of those were proctored. He responds to texts quickly and is super chill and nice.

3 exams, only 1 uses honor lock. Home is heavy but all done is canvas, expect multiple practices, and quiz's every week. 1 big paper, light discussions. He's straight to the point, takes no b.s, but his class is easy to pass. The exams all come with study guides that are a clear outline of the test. I would take another one of his classes for sure.

An incredible professor, he is strict on due dates I took his class Summer B so he opened the assignments for the semester since the beginning.I will say that the course work isn't really that bad, just time consuming if anything else but it's not difficult at all. I had a family emergency and he was super understanding about it and worked with me
