Stacy is awesome. She wants you to succeed but is also still willing to learn. A little too much busy work, but it is meant to help. The class had lots of fun discussions.
She is really funny and easy going. If you can reasonably agrue a grade change, she will do it. She is very nice and willing to help you. She was one of the writers for the textbook so she will know if you didn't read. I recommend her. She's great/
Stacy rocks! I have so much fun in her class! Sure there's reading to be done, but it's there to help you and it really does. she also teaches well and can always make us all laugh. It's a great class to start your day! sure that sounded cheesy but it's true!
Stacy is the bomb what can I say what can't I say. She is amazing she makes you understand and then she makes you want to learn more at the very same time. I have no idea why she's rated as a 3 cause we all know she's a perfect 10. Teacher of the year here we come. I'd vote for her. Stacy WE LOVE YOU. Can't wait to do my homework when Stacy teaches
Stacy is a very nice person, that is very helpful with teaching CTRS. She is also pretty. The only bad thing is you never stop getting homework.
stacy gives to much homework.
One of the best teachers at UVSC. I enjoyed taking her class. It was one of my first classes I took at UVSC and she gave me a great outlook on life and for school. Definatly take her class.
Stacy is a beautiful person inside and out. I have learned so much from her. She is both compassionate and challenging. She is amazing.
Stacy is never on time for class. She also has homework everyday. Although CTRS1170 is a three credit class. She will give you enough homework for five credits. She gives homework everyday.
Stacy is a very hard grader. She is never on time. She also never does extra credit. She has very hard test. Do not take a class from Stacy if you want to have a good time at college.
cool, but hard to understand at times. when not off on a tangent really knowligable
She is a bad teacher. She is never on time, and has alot of homework. She is one of the worst teachers at UVSC.
I was the only person who got an A in the class out of 30 students. You need to work your butt off and she is never on time, but if you do all that you will do fine.
She is a really hard one. One does not enjoy college life when in her class. For real! She makes ones life miserable. She needs a man in her life!!!!
She is a very strange teacher. She is a hard grader and the assignments have to be done her way. She is a nice person all around, but as a teacher, I did not enjoy her. There is a strict attendence policy, and if you aren't there for a class, your grade is lowered! If you like crazy, hard, and annoying teachers, then take her class! :)
this teacher is a joke. she never lets you out on time, and yet she is late EVERYDAY. every single assignment she expects you to put hours and hours in, when it is just busy work and gets you no where. she truly thinks her class is the only one you have to take. this is the only class i didn't get an A in this semester, and its student success!!
I enjoyed this teacher, she pushed you but it was well worth it. i would take another class from her. I would agree with other viewers, she did come late and cancelled class twice. I learned a lot from her.
She was a great teacher. Yeah, the class is alittle pointless but it's easy and fun. If you work with her you will get an A. Plus, she's hot!!!!

I loved this teacher! I wish she taught english because she was so awesome! She is very fair, interactive, listens, and clear!
Great teacher Help me to pass. Work with me on taking final.
She was a very concerned teacher. Willing to work with you! Class is very good for beginning college students. She is a lot of fun! Good sense of humor! Expects you to attend class, and work. Overall good class and teacher!
She had a lot of energy and always happy to help if you didn't understand. It was a good, easy class to take my first semester. She teaches you good study skills and prepares you for harder classes to come.
I don't enjoy her class at all. She give out lots of homework without go through textbook. She only mention text book few minutes each lesson and wants us to read at home. If you are someone like me that need more instruction, I don't recommand you to take her class. I do not enjoy go to this class at all. I don't want to pay for reading on my own.
She's a good teacher. Lots of energy. Willing to help out with any problems. Really likes to get to know the student. Attending class is a must. Most of the test questions are from things discussed in class. She's pretty lenient on late work--if you notify her before hand. Overall good professor
Stacy was a really good teacher, I learned a lot of good study habits in her class, and a lot of helpful ways to read books better. She isn't really ever on time to class, but that's ok, she makes the class fun at times. This class really made me think hard, but if you study hard, you'll do fine in the class.
I don't think she knows what she teaches at all. She give out lots of homework without go through textbook. She only mention text book few minutes each lesson and wants us to read at home. If you are someone who's seeking for instruction, I don't recommand you to take her class. I do not enjoy go to this class at all. she is a joke
Stacy is a good teacher,she is funny,she makes class fun and like to call you when you don't come to class and; however,she doesn't know anything,she makes a lot of big mistake all the time.She is unfair in grading.she grade students she likes even if you better than everyone if she doesn't like you she gives you bad grade. she's a joke.
I really don't think Stacy knows what she is talking about. Nothing made any sence. Frienly person. However, I would absolutely not recomment this teacher for Stress Management. I got nothing out of the class except for MORE stress
I have to keep a countdown for this class to keep me sane. I dread this class every day. She is rude and unhelpful. She makes you feel very belittled. I have heard student success is a wonderful class if you take it from other teachers, but if you do take it, do not take it from her.
She is clueless. For teaching a success in education class, she is a failure.Not to mention, she thinks she is teaching grade school children.
I think she is a horrible teacher. I have taken her class and learned nothing. Her class is borring and she is a very stubborn person. Its her way or the highway. She makes the class worist.
Am i wasting my time? i feel that i dont learn enough because she is disracting to herself. she distracts as a person what she should be teaching as a teacher. seems very dissorganized, not that well prepared.
I took stress management and I loved her. She teaches straight from the book and it was an easy A. She was very easy going with assignments, and very low stress. If you turn in assignments on time, then your golden. She tells you exactly whats on the tests even the final.
Very good teacher and fun. Easy A if you go to class and do assignments on time.
As a non-traditional (older) student I was worried about succeeding in college, this class helped me with my confidence as well as gave me tools to understand college text books and how to study...her class is a must for ESL students and those with special needs, she does a great job!
I didn't really enjoy this class. I felt like I wasted my time.. it was an easy class, but there was no purpose. I dreaded going to class everyday, but i had to go for a grade..I felt like she was really rude to me and would call me out infront of class and then ask me an opinionated question and then shoot my opinon down.. how is anyones opinion w
I had her for stress managment and I really enjoyed the class. She takes the time to make sure everyone understands, yet keeps things interesting. This class does require effort but, its worth it. I learned a lot!
Stacy is a really good teacher. Her class is very easy going and as long as you go to class and do the assignments, you will have no problems. She really cares about each of her students and gets to know all of them.
She is a great teacher with great intentions. Most students took this class for granted and could have gotten a lot out of this class if they took it seriously. There are a lot of strategies you can use that really will make you successful in college.
She was a lot of fun and I learned a lot of things that have helped me be academically successful as well as manage my stress. She knows what she is talking about.
Stacy is a GREAT teacher!!! However, before I got to know her she sounded sort of like she didn't know which way was up. But, she really does know what she's talking about that's just the way that she is. She's super nice and super helpful and I highly recommend her.
Stacy was a great teacher. She did have certain rules like mandatory attendance and late work but was flexible if you emailed her and told her why you were absent or forgot your homework. I think she is great teacher but her classes are not an easy A
I cannot stand this woman! She is the most stubborn woman I have ever met in my life! It is her way and that is it! All of your ideas are garbage because they are not hers. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FROM HER!!! Fire her please! Stress management was supposed to be about handling stress not adding to it!
Stacy is the best!!! She is such an amazing teacher and support! She is a major reason I am still in school! She makes me feel like she really cares about me, and about me doing well in school! Highly recommend her in everything she teaches!!!
stacy is a very fair educator who is very much involved with the students. She is kind and she is willing to help you with anything that you need. It is not a guaranteed A but if you come to class consistently and study the material, you will have no problem passing her class. you MUST participate, however.
She really cares about my education and my learning. One of the most helpful teachers I've ever had. You'll learn a lot about managing your stress. Not an easy A. You must keep up if you want a good grade.
I love Stacy. She is amazing. You will not be sorry if you take a class from her, regardless of the subject. Just go to class and do the homework. She will make sure and help you succeed.
Stacy was helpful with any questions and answered them in a quick manner. However, I expected an online class to be a little lighter on the work load and a little less confusing. There was a lot of reading involved and more than one assignment due each week. This was by far the class that I had the most busy work/homework in.
Take this class. YOu will not regret it. If you do the work on time you'll get a good grade. Stacy is a great teacher!!
She is probably the best teacher I've ever had. She cares and is very helpful. You will not regret taking a class from her. Highly recommend.
Prof. Waddoups is one of the best teachers I have ever had!!! She was so so helpful & truly cares about her students. I was confused & she personally helped me to understand the material. This online class has been so helpful & I am keeping my book cuz it helps you to succeed in college! TAKE STACY! By far the best teacher at UVU.
She really cared about me. I know she wanted to help be become a better student. She rocks! I tell all of my friends to take this class.
Internet class. It's not hard there's too much busy work. The only time I had to work on my other classes is when it was as part of the assignment for her class. Between reading the assigned section, posting meaningful posts, responses to other posts & tests it took over 20 hours a week. I took the class to help me save time not create more work.
I really loved this class. It helped me to learn and I know I'll do better in my other classes because of what I learned about studying.
This class was really fun. I learned a lot about how to deal with my crazy life. I think all students should take this class to help them.
Don't take her online. There's so much homework the only time left for other classes is when it's part of the homework for her class. She wants all tests & assignments turned in early. Maybe she's better in person. Expect minimum 15 hours per week for this class alone. Must have text. The text has great ideas to improve study skills. Never again!
Online has waaay too much busy work. She would not allow disability accommodations. Flunked the class but learned lots from the text, which she is a co-author. Highly recommend reading the text between semesters. It has some GREAT ideas to increase study reading as it is different from reading for fun.
I learned a lot. I'm telling all of my friends to take this class. It was not easy, but it will help me with my other classes.
This was my favorite class last semester. I got all A's and I it is because of what I learned in this class. Thank you, Stacy.
She's the bomb! I really like her teaching style and she really wanted to help me learn the material. Thank you for being there for me, Stacy!
I know that Stacy cares about me. I was struggling and she spent a bunch of time to help me out. I learned a lot and I got my sister in the class.
I really enjoyed this class. She keeps the class real, and you learn applicable principles. The assignments are pretty easy. She wants to give you a good grade, all you need to do is your work on time.
Stacy really helped me get through a tough time in my life. I appreciate how caring she was toward me.
There is a lot of work in the class, but it was so helpful. Unlike most classes, this class will impact my life from now on .
This was my favorite class at UVU. The things I learned are applicable to my life. Stacy cared enough to go the extra mile. I'm getting my friends to register next semester.
I think I'll always use what I learned in this class. My stress levels have always been high and I suffer from social anxiety. This class taught me how to manage my stress better. I loved it. Stacy responds quickly and really seems to care if I learn.
I learned so much and unlike other classes, I'll use everything I learned in my life.
I absolutely would take her class again! She is so understanding and gives wonderful feedback. The homework was applicable to life, which made it easier to do. So far she was the best professor I have had at UVU!
Honestly I thought this class would help me with my anxiety but it did the exact opposite. This was my most stressful class. she has lots and lots of assignments due on canvas, creates pointless huge assignments in class that are completely unnecessary, docks you points if you are late. There is 1 test and 1 final paper. would not take again.
This was by far one of the worst classes I have ever taken! The only reason why I took it was because I had signed up late for classes and it was the only one left. It was english and stress management combined, a two and a half hour class where the only kids that do well are the kiss ups. STAY AWAY! Stacy is not a good teacher at all.
Took this with Engl1010. More of a stressor rather than stress reliever. So much busy work on canvas, honestly had more homework in this class than all of my other classes. Shes nice, wants to work with you. Keeps up with grades, but docks lots of points turning in things late. More papers than I thought there would be and some quizzes. not my fave
Professor Waddoups is the most caring professor. I learned so much in this class about how to live with the heavy stressors I have. Its made a difference in my ability in school and in life!
Stacy is incredible! I really value professors that comment on my assignments and she commented on every single one with insight, questions or comments. I highly respect her as a professor. The textbook was incredibly easy to read.. probably the easiest I've had. Awesome situations/scenarios to make you understand the content. TAKE HER!!!!
She always responded to my discussions and submissions. She gives great positive feedback and nicely suggests things to better me. She is an awesome teacher and I would definitely take from her again.
Super interesting class and not too hard.
Stacy is rad !!!!
I really Iiked this professor! She gave great feedback and was always willing to help and meet with Students. She offered many times to help any student, I finally took her up on the offer and it was totally worth my time! Do the assignments on time, there are around 3 things due each week & due thoughout the week but they arent too hard.
Stacy is an awesome professor! She understands that there's other things going on in life and is very flexible. She cares about her students and their success. If you show up to class it's so easy to pass. Love this class and strongly recommend taking it.
Great class but not a lot of interaction from the professor. A bit of reading and some great assignments to help you out in handling real life situations. Overall I am glad I took the class.
Stacy genuinely cares for you. My class was super small and everyday we would sit in a circle and talk. I have made some good friends from this class. There are a few terms you need to remember for quizzes but she goes over it all. The assignments are honestly just about YOUR life.. which sounds easy but it really makes you think.
She is the most wonderful professor I have had. She is so kind and gets to individually know you. There's a lot of assignments, but just check canvas often.
It's a pretty easy class overall. As long as you put real effort into your assignment you'll definitely pass.
She really is flexible and understanding. Having her as a professor of an online class was great!! If you're looking to take this class online - do it! I couldn't imagine taking this from someone else. You do have to do your part too. If you give it your all and participate you'll get the most out of the class.
Super nice person.
She is very caring and willing to help out if you are willing to accept her help. The class work is fairly easy but does require you to put in effort. The information you learn will be 100% relevant to your life.
Stacy Waddoups is an example of a person who facilitates a classroom of belonging, where you can have personal relations and learn from your peers as well as her. You would be crazy not to take this class and not show up. It's a class that is based on, what you put in, is what you get out of it. I've become a better person in result of this class.
Need a super easy class to boost your GPA after that online switch dropped it? This was the easiest class I've ever taken. Didn't have to read anything, assignments can be easily done in 10 minutes, and can easily get 100% without doing much on them. Stacy is a great professor, who really cares about her students and tries to connect with them too.
Great class and Stacy is a great teacher who gives lots of helpful feedback. You can tell she cares about you as a student! The class has a good amount of assignments and projects, but if you put in the effort they are pretty easy.
I took this during Covid - The class was pretty easy, it does require some time, but you read a lot of things and write some short responses and essays. The teacher wasn't super involved, whenever I did interact with her she was very encouraging, kind and helpful.
Easy but rewarding class. She does a great job interacting with her students even in an online class. Its not a hard class. Shes a pretty easy grader if you put forth literally any effort.
Overall this class and professor were pretty good. It was a stress management class and I felt like it added to my stress because there was a lot of homework. I took a block course, so that may be why it seemed like so much more work. But it's relatively easy work. She wasn't really involved but doesn't take forever to respond, so that's good.
Prof. Waddoups is super nice! There is a decent amount of homework but she gives really good feedback and is very helpful when you need it. She even did online study sessions for the test. I really enjoyed her class and learned a lot. She has a variety of assignments that help you learn the content better. I'd recommend her!
Stacy Waddoups is a very extreme grader. Just when you thought you wrote plenty of words responding to a question she gives you a bad grade and tells you to write more. You will be writing a whole bunch of crap just to satisfy her word count to make sure you "fully answer a question". The assignments are out of this world long and difficult.
The amount of stress this class gave me was UNREAL. ironic for a stress management class. She is a tough grader, and her assignments are outrageous for an 1100 class. It was my most difficult class in 4 years of schooling. Her feedback is disrespectful and instructions are NOT clear. Even if you meet the criteria, she docks points. Do not take.
Took full semester course. Easy for me due to therapy experience. Discussions especially felt like busy work. Gives lots of feedback on assignments & is super willing to help with whatever she can. Lets you work ahead. Look at time management section at the beginning of the semester so you actually have time to implement the material.
While the workload can be intense, this class is highly rewarding. The professor provides great feedback and is very willing to help. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for study prep. Take this class seriously and you'll gain valuable skills.
