Very fun professor who keeps the class interesting. He teached from a powerpoint so we havent used the book at all!
This class was extremely interesting. Prof. Stallings knows what he is talking about and he teaches it by connecting it to real life situations. He is not afraid to teach the truth and will express himself through his teachings. This class is really fun but there's no way to take advantage of him. He will give you the grade you deserve.
Excellent Professor! If you listen in class, take notes and participate, you will pass his class! If you don't, you won't...Tests were OK, read the questions carefully, though. He lectures with current information and applies it to real life situations! I really enjoyed learning in this class!
Professor Stallings is great! I enjoyed this class from start to finish and he made it interesting all along the way. If you need to take PSYC 2301, take it with him! It will be worth it!
Professor Stallings kept class interesting. However, he is not mainstream. Main use of powerpoint. The tests are hard. He is strict about the cell phone policy. I enjoyed his class but probably wouldnt take any of his courses again.
He is seriously the best teacher I've ever had! He doesn't make things harder on his students than they have to be and all of his assignments are extremely easy! Come to class every week and take good notes! Loved his class!
Professor Stallings was an excellent teacher. He was very knowledgable and his lectures were given via power point. He made the course interesting.
Prof Stallings is amazing. He provides copies of his power-points online and explains what students need to know to take his test. Make lectures interesting and funny. He listens to his students and cares about his subject. I highly recommend his course!
I would not recommend this instructor to anyone. He enjoys the humiliation of his students. Stay Away from this instructor.
Professor Stallings taught in a way that made me enjoy learning about psychology. this class was very fascinating.If you attend class,do the assignments,and study the notes you should pass. If you fail his class, then you didn't put much effort because he is an excellent professor.
This class was surprisingly really interesting. The professor was very helpful and cool. I would recommend this class!His test are a little on the hard side so you definitely have to study in order to pass. Overall an easy going professor.
I took the Express Wknd Class. He made it fun & interesting. He is well educated in psychology and has great stories! You HAVE to attend class & take notes to pass. He gives all homework on the 1st day so you can work at your own pace. Tests are every Sunday & he does a review before the test. He gets that people work too & homework is manageable.
Professor Stallings is an awesome professor. He is very knowledgeable about psychology and is very passionate. His tests are hard, but if you go to every class and take good notes, you'll do well. It's VERY important to attend class. He doesn't use a text book and covers all material in class. He's funny and makes class interesting.
Clearly states what information is important while delivering it to you with memorable examples and little factoids.
Awesome instructor! Do the work and you will get the grade.
Professor Stallings is hands down the best professor I have ever had. He is passionate, funny, engaging, and intelligent! He made Human Sexuality more interesting and creative. If you do the work and use common sense, you'll be fine. And not to mention he isn't bad to look at either! #teamstallings
This class has been the best I've taken at Collin County. The professor is honest and to the point and there's no discomfort even given the subject matter. #teamstallings
Professor Stallings is the best professor I have had at Collin College. He requires you to focus on the issues, is clear with the course matter &manages to make the subject(human sexuality) not awkward & fun! I was VERY happy to have him as a professor. As long as you aren't disrespectful in class and pay attention you will do well! #teamstallings
Stallings is my favorite teacher I've gotten. Study and you'll pass but if you don't, class will be a lot harder. I would definitely take his class again!
Stallings was alright at the beginning of the semester, but as it went on he became more mean and snide with the class. It's an easy class if you show up, because the powerpoints (although given to you) say almost none of what's on the test. I would definitely not recommend him to anyone who wants an easy class.
Connects with students very well. Weekly online quizzes, a few papers, big debate project, individual presentations throughout semester, lots of movies. The class is basically taught by the students.
He is a great professor who very specific about what he expects his students to gain from his lectures. He expects students to pay attention to class , and make use of what they learn. He does not require book which means he will save you more than a hundred dollars. Take notes, pay attention, follow the instruction, and do all the homework.
Has a great sense of humor and is always trying to give examples that are easy to relate to. Also, the lecture comes from a power point along with extra info that he gives you that isn't on them. Always answered student questions and tried to help clarify any confusion. I was already interested in psych but he made it fun to learn about.
Great teaching method via powerpoints and lecture combination. He made sure we understood the material before initiating the test. He has the students' interest at heart, and will help you if you ask him for it. A bit flamboyant too, but that just makes him funnier during lectures.
I loved him so much as a professor that I am in his Human Sexuality class and love it. He's an openly gay individual and brings a lot of fun energy to the class that you don't find often. Hes super easy going just get your work done and go to him if you need help! He's honest and really cares about his students.
Professor Stallings is a tough professor but at the same time he inspires his students to excel in the course. He has a great sense of humor which makes the class awesome. I cannot stress the importance of printing out a copy of his notes and the labs for class.
Don't even think about missing anything for his class. He would rather fail you than give you a second chance. And he will be very short when answering any questions, it'll feel like you're bothering him.
Professor Stallings is awesome. I couldn't imagine taking human sexuality class without having him as a professor. He knows a lot about the subject and makes class interesting. He hardly ever lectures the class. You will do well as long as you do the work. There is no final exam! You WILL learn something from this class.
I love his class!!! I would take it again if I could. I wish he taught all my classes! I he keeps it fun and keeps you interested in the material. I will say, he takes the written assignments serious. But he makes sure that you know what is going on before even giving the assignments. I wish I could take him with me! :)
Great professor, someone told me to take him because he is great. And its true, he doesn't make you buy a textbook and all the lectures are conversational. Great guy and great class. He's super far left wing so all his examples in class are always super liberal, but besides that he's pretty solid .
All professors should be like like Professor Stallings! He was extremely engaging. He doesn't require a textbook, he gives a review before every test, he has 3 MC tests no final and there are appox. 6 hw assignments if you do them you'll get a good grades and he allows several opportunities for extra credit. My favorite college prof. thus far!
Very good professor, but he expects you to be a grown up about coming to class and turning in your work. Crystal clear as to what he expects ... do the work and you will pass, no problem. Lectures are fun and informative, and he expects participation. Does not require textbook! All info from PPTs that he gives to you.
Stallings is an amazing professor, he has power points available so that the student does not need to buy the book. There is a bit of homework but it is very fun. Pay attention in class to pass his tests. He is makes his lectures very fun.
Professor Stallings is an awesome professor and does his best when it comes to interacting with the class. Almost every class is a lecture, but they are entertaining and do not put you to sleep like most professors. There are minimal tests, but you MUST take notes and study to pass! Do the homework and ell extra credit.
He is an awsome Professor. I loved his class! Textbooks were needed for the online quizzes, there were no tests. So do well on them. I feel like if you attend class and actually do your work you should not have a problem getting an A. He made the class interesting, and he actually wanted the students to actually get something out of the class.
I highly recommend taking his class. lectures are fun and engaging. There are only three tests which are nice, short, and not too difficult as long as you study- he makes you think. Puts up helpful reviews before tests- but reference the ppts as well. The homework is really easy, and there is one book report. He is not a tough grader!
Way too easy. I literally did no work in this class. I took quizzes without reading the book, did assignments without reading the book, and never had to email him for any reason whatsoever. Easy A, but I think he should pick things up a bit so there is actually something to work for.
He is by far the funniest and best teacher I've had. I love psychology and he made me love it even more! He is very passionate about to subject and has great personal experiences to tell the class!! I wish he taught more psych classes so I could take him again. I am definitely taking his human sexuality class!!
Professor Stallings was by far the best professor I have ever had at Collin! His lectures are interesting and he is very funny! I always went to class, not because it was mandatory but because I enjoyed the lectures! I don't need another Psych credit but I am tempted just to take another one for fun just so I can have him as a professor again!
I was was so excited the first couple of days in class then towards the middle and end I just hated the class. I don't like the way the class is taught, I did not learn anything because he didn't teach much. You had to teach yourself through the quizzes he had online and the book. The group project was awful, and not fair grading at all.
Hilarious! 3 tests. One book report. A few easy homework assignments. Easy grader. Take his class.
Professor Stallings was intimidating at first but I soon grew to love his class. He explains all assignments clearly and they are not at all difficult. There were 3 tests and we were required to write only one paper. Just make sure you take good notes! Also, it's possible to earn up to 100 extra credit points in his class.
We didn't use textbooks, his classes were strictly Power Point. Sounds boring, but it's far from. He gets you really engaged in his lectures and he's hilarious. If you want the old guy with the boring lectures, don't take Prof. Stallings because you'll get the opposite. If you pay attention and take notes, you'll pass
I took his class online. This was my first class to take online and it was really easy! The class is composed of quizzes, 2 discussions, a few essays and exams (that are based off the quizzes). They are all very simple. As long as you do everything on time you can make an A! No need for the textbook.
You don't need a textbook for this class. He involves everybody in the lectures. Open to questions, however, if its a stupid question, be prepared to get a stupid answer. great teacher. Most of the grading for outside work is just completion but they are long assignments.
After I took his 2301 class I rated him and said I liked him. Now that I am working in other classes that I need what I learned in 2301 I am struggling. I feel like even though he is an easy teacher who is understanding, now I have a disadvantage for my other psych classes that are required for my program.
TAKE HIM!! I wish he taught more classes. I loved going to his lectures. He will seem intimidating when it comes to being on time, but he is very down to earth, knows what he's talking about. Lots of easy homeworks, a book report and three exams. Stay on top of your A game and you have no reason to not pass!
I loved this class at the start, the professor was funny and "cool" if you will, however I had something come up extremely last minute before a midterm and was told that "You should have read the rules" when I asked for another date. I was a 4.2 GPA student at the time, obviously I read the rules. Didn't learn anything because I stopped going.
I love this professor! AMAZING lectures. Very organized. Presents material clearly through examples and humorous storytelling. Test question are tricky. Pay attention to the wording he uses. He challenges you to stretch your critical thinking skills. 3 tests - MUST STUDY. 1 book report - very easy. Do the homework assignments and you'll do fine.
Although attendance is not mandatory you still have to go to class because he gives notes verbally. Has funny stories that explains the material. Is also a huge liberal his views are interesting though even if you don't agree. As for his tests just take good notes and use his ppts as reference and you should be good. Overall I recommend.
Class was extremely easy yet I learned a lot. Class is mostly composed of lectures which are extremely interesting which makes the material very easy to remember. Gives out a significant amount of extra credit. Easy and interesting class, I would recommend him if you had to take this class.
Prof. Stallings was excellent. He explains everything so clearly. There was no textbook to pay for. Powerpoints were posted on Canvas. There were some challenging tests, but do-able if you study, and plenty of other assignments to help balance the grade. Attendance is optional, but you WANT to be there, because he is engaging and hilarious!
Easily the best professor I've ever had. The only bad thing about my class was the incompetent students around me (and Stallings put them in their place, it's the best thing to watch) Do your work, pay attention in class and you'll get an A no worries. Got a 98 in the class, he gives you a ton of extra credit opportunity on the last test!!
By far the best teacher I have ever had! I took his 8am wintermester class and was dreading waking up so early on the break but he made the class worth it. He keeps the students very engaged throughout the lecture and is very passionate about what he is teaching. I changed my major to psychology because of this class. He's an amazing teacher!
The best part about taking this class was that no textbook was required. This class is based on the lectures, daily homework, and a book report. If you take good notes and participate well during test reviews then you'll do well for this class. He makes the lectures very entertaining and humorous to keep the students active and listening.
Professor Stallings has a natural ability to grasp your attention and clearly teach you the material. Several students in my class said it was their second time taking Psychology but first time they loved it. He grades fair. Best tip is to listen to the reviews before the exams. Be respectful, he's a great professor.
Take Stallings for PSYC2301! I took him Winter '16. Awesome. I looked forward to attending class, Clear Criteria, Great Lectures, makes Psych engaging and interesting. Great classroom interaction, responds quickly to emails. Tests are given over provided ppts on Canvas. Wanna make an A? Show up to class, take notes on his ppts, turn in work.

Passionate and engaging lecturer. I used notecards to study the terms from the powerpoints he posts online and received near perfect scores on the tests. No textbook.
he is awesome
He's literally the best teacher ever. I'll never forget him.
I took him last fall and he is my favourite professor so far. He made me love psychology even more. We only did one paper over a book of our choosing and did not use a textbook. Lectures are interesting and engaging.
He makes his lectures very interesting! I recommend him, his homework is not hard at all , as long as you do it he will give full credit. His tests are not hard just go to his review class before the test.
Best. Professor. Ever. Period. He's hilarious, upfront, attentive and very responsive. Wish he would teach Psych 2314 because I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Funny and cool teacher, I would highly recommend. All you have to do is his assignments and he will give you a 100 on them.
Took this class for a 5 week summer semester. Super easy! There are easy quizzes with each chapter, about 4 essays, 2 discussions, and 4 exams (questions from the quizzes are on the exams). All super easy! He is an easy grader, just as long as you do the work and what is asked you will get full points on the assignments. Don't need the textbook
AMAZING! Best PSYC 2301 teacher. Take him and you won't regret it.
Ok, im not gonna beat a dead horse here. He's perfect. Nothing more to it. Make sure you turn in your quizzes on time. His lectures are so intriguing that I don't want the class to end. He's really funny and so intelligent. He will tell you things that are good to know for real life, not just for the class. 100% a hidden gem.
This professor is awesome when it comes to the work amount expected for the semester. The only part I disliked most was that questions on the quizzes online could not be found in the book or study materials provided. Made tests hard to pass.
I took professor Stalling's class over Wintermester so the lecture were pretty long and fast-paced, yet he still managed a way to keep the class engaged the whole time. His homework and reading assignments were actually interesting and his exams were also easy to study for as well.
Definitely one of my favorite professors!! I wish he taught more classes because I would 100% take him again. He's super entertaining and brings in real world examples to help you understand the content. Take notes in class and check canvas powerpoints bc that's what's on the tests! Need textbook for canvas quizzes.
he is an awesome teacher. he makes the subject fun to learn about. he is HILARIOUS. loved him as my teacher and wish I cold take him again. he doesn't play about deadlines and as long as you take notes and study, tests will be a breeze. he is one of my favorite teachers I've had.
Discriminate on grades award. Gives extra points to those he likes to get good rating. Does not respect students especially when you are people of color. All making derogatory statement to people of color saying 'if English is not your first language is not my problem' Does not answer questions when asked to explain more on an unclear subjec
I took his class in the Wintermester. His exams are multiple choice and are over his lectures he has in class. His quizzes are over the respective chapters the class goes over. He has a little extra credit. If my major allowed it I would take this professor again. He does not accept late work not even if it is a second late however.
All of his test questions come from what he says out loud during lecture. HINT he usually pauses a little bit to give time to write the important things, and says to "star" other parts. He grades quickly and you know where you stand in the class. Lectures are fun. Gave some interesting information on other personal topics, like homosexuality.
TAKE HIM!!! Best teacher ever. I wish I could take him again. Gives one extra credit assignment at the end of the semester, but doesn't mention it until then. As long as you turn in your work, you will get full credit for them. Very interesting and funny teacher. I actually looked forward going to his class.
stallings is very passionate about psychology & educating his students. i appreciated that he often debunked common misconceptions that many people have over important issues such as mental illness, sexuality, & gender roles. however, he can be a bit condescending towards others, he has no problem w/ humiliating students if they continually ask ?s.
I love him. He makes psychology very interesting to learn. You will never be bored in class. Actually, you will really enjoy coming to class. He is very straightforward in grades, lectures, details explanation. He is on the top list of every professor which I have. I am very glad I signed up his class. You will need to work to get good grades.
Professor Stallings has to be one of the best teachers I've ever had! He has such a good sense of humor and he explains his lectures very well! Not too much assignments. Honestly, his class was the only class I really looked forward to going to every other day! Quizzes are easy, tests are pretty simple if you pay attention in class and read!
I had to repeat this class the first time I took it was with another professor and I barely passed it. Decided to retake it online and chose him NO REGRETS! Utilize every resource to do well.
Professor Stallings, has to be hands down, the best Professor I have had so far. His lectures are so worth going to class. He knows how to get your attention and his stories really show you how much he loves teaching psychology! Make sure you print out his powerpoints! I definitely recommend him and he also teaches another class too!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. HE IS AMAZING. HIS CLASS IS NEVER BORING. THE ONLY PROFESSOR AT COLLIN THAT KNOWS WHAT HIS DOING. Take him you will not regret it. He should teach more classes.
Took PSYC 2301 online with Professor Stallings and it was the best decision. Although there is a lot of essays, the assignments are clear and not that difficult. I recommend to everyone needing to take psychology to take this class.
He is my FAV professor. He is very intimidating, can be hard to ask questions in class. If you don't understand something you kindof just have to pretend you do and look it up later. He is hilarious, I loved his personal stories he shared. I learned a lot from his class. If you study for the test your fine
Professor Stallings is very enthusiastic about teaching students. He delivers his lectures in a way that makes you think about what he's going to say next. Great professor, not the best. That being said. Some of his lectures can be depressing to the point that you are desperate for it to be over. He talks alot about his personal life too, it's meh.

I normally don't mind giving speeches but 20-30 minutes per person on a chapter presentation is too much. Also I signed up for Human Sexuality not debate team. We had to do a pretty long intense debate. I wouldn't suggest.
OHHHH MY GOD. SOOOOOOOO MANY LENGTHY PAPERS! FIRST WEEK AND 3, 2-3 PAGE PAPERS ARE DUE! NOOOOO! 70 pts each!!!!!! THAT IS A LOT!
Steven stallings is the best professor I have ever had! His enthusiasm to teach and knowledge over the course made a lecture based course fun and interesting. Not only did his enthusiasm to teach help motivate me to do my work but also to learn more about the subject. 10/10 recommend! Going to class and taking notes is major key to passing!
He expects you to be a GROWN UP and beware of assignments due date, he won't remind you. He relates lectures to his personal life as real examples, some people might not like it. You need to take good notes as exams are over what he talks about in class, yet he doesn't take attendance. He is passionate about what he teaches.
Professor Stallings is a dream come true. For me, at least. He will call you out if you try to make too many jokes and hates being interrupted BUT he is also amazingly caring and really cares about his students. He also REALLY knows his stuff and is passionate too. The tests are hard though. STUDY STUDY STUDY.
If you don't take his class, you will miss out on one of the best professors ever. He is so passionate and wonderful. He teaches you life lessons that are priceless. His class was wonderful, I've never enjoyed a professor's lectures as much as I enjoyed his. He is very organized, precise and interesting. Take him, you will NOT regret it.

Stallings really makes the class engaging and interesting. He is not like most professors where they just read off of a screen for notes, but he includes personal stories and examples to help the students really understand what he is talking about. As long as you do your work and turn it in, you'll get a good grade in the class.
Professor Stallings was a great teacher, though he does require you follow his rules dont expect to change his mind about anything especially on late work. Offers extra credit towards the end and is over all a great teacher and cares about his students.
He is a wonderful professor. His lectures are very engaging and interesting, and I always enjoyed coming to his class. He is very organized and extremely knowledgeable. Tests are based on what he says during the lecture, so make sure to come to class. I would definitely recommend him.
Professor Stallings is one of the best online professors you can take. Although he assigns many lengthy papers and quizzes (average 1 of each/week), he grades fairly and is available via email for questions. Due dates are enforced and followed, so don't procrastinate and you'll be fine.
If you dont take Stallings for Psychology youre missing out!! He has the best lectures hes the best professor at collin college! I love this class test were easy all based on lectures.
he has a great story, I love that he teaches with pride. very funny and his lectures were always great! we did use the textbook and most quizzes and test came from class power points, book chapters and hw quizzes. take him!!
He's a little intimidating, but an amazing professor. You can tell he truly cares about what he teaches. He makes everything easy to understand because he provides examples with everything. I'd take him again.
Not enough can be said about Professor Stallings! He gives awesome lectures and kept the class engaged. It's hard not to pass his class. He doesn't want to see anyone fail. I can't stress enough that attendance is important! Everything he says in class is on the exam. Look no further for a Psych Proffessor!
He's a good professor and knows what he's talking about however he was extremely intimidating. He doesn't know how to put on a poker face and if you said something wrong while you were presenting to the class, the look on his face would basically be proof that you're an idiot. Same while trying to ask questions - he'll make you look stupid.
Whenever I try to ask a question in class, he always makes me feel like I'm so stupid or like I'm an idiot for not understanding. I've also seen him do this to other students in class as well. It's gotten to the point where I don't ask questions in class anymore :( He's an ok teacher but NOT personable or nice at all.
Professor Stallings is one of the best professors I've had. I looked forward to coming to his class. If you don't show up to class you will miss important information for the exams. He's funny, gives great examples for the material and keeps the class interested. I would highly recommend taking his class.
knows what hes talking about and teaches in an engaging way, he just has a rude personality that he tries to pass off as cute humor. he isn't afraid to let you know just how dumb he thinks you are. I always want to ask him questions but he turns it around and makes me feel like an idiot. i wouldnt recommend a large class size w/ him. dont be late
I absolutely loved going to this class!! Amazing professor! You can tell he loves what he teaches. There were textbook quizzes nearly every week and all the exams are over his lectures - so don't skip class! Over the semester, there was one book report, three exams, and three extra credit opportunities.
This was my first semester at college and I couldn't have enjoyed his class more. Makes the lectures easy to remember and always willing to answer questions. Honestly cares for his students and makes himself available if needed. Just make sure to listen to instructions and you'll pass!
I took Stalling's online class and it was fun! There's a small number of assignments that he grades over the semester and they're due about every two weeks. Make sure you submit your assignments on time because he accepts no late work!
If your looking for an easy A this is not the class to go to. The tests are not the easiest. If he believes something youve said as not smart which a lot of things are not smart for him then he will throw rude comments your way.
I took professor Stallings my freshman year. I would say that they way he sets up his class is really easy to manage. As long as you read AND take notes I promise you will get an A. He doesn't give good feedback though, but as long as you do the work you will get a good grade. If you plan on taking this class online it's an easy A!
I recommend you taking his class very much worth it!! Professor Stallings is a wonderful teacher and leader! His class is tough if you slack off. If you do what is asked youll get an easy A! He is hilarious and genuine with what he speaks about. He is also super passionate about his subjects which helps the learning environment. LISTEN TO HIM!
Easily one of the best professors Ive taken. He explains everything thoroughly and makes sure you understand it too. He uses real life examples to make sure you completely get the subject. Tests are not too bad. Everything comes from the lectures. You miss one lecture you miss 2 questions at least. All and all great professor. Easy A.
Show up to class and take good notes. The exams are a little tougher than I was used too but he is an easy grader on assignments so it levels out. His lectures are hilarious and relate-able! Exams are graded before you leave class so you dont have to wait to find out your grade! I highly recommend Mr. Stallings and I would take him again!
Amazing! Show up and take good notes. Exams are timed and tough so study your notes! Exams are graded in class so youll know your grade before you leave. Weekly timed quizzes on textbook before he gives lecture so read the book. Lectures are hilarious and relatable! I highly recommend Professor Stallings and I would take him again!
Timed tests that you will need to study for. This professor is pretty rude. I wouldnt take him again. It will be a class that you will have to work extra hard to get an A in. He also has absurd ideas about religion and if anyone tries to counter his ideas he becomes pretty rude.
Fantastic professor! He's strict about his policies but uses jokes and real stories to keep the class engaged. Time seems to fly by and this was the only class I actually looked forward to. Make sure you attend class and turn things in on time and you'll be good. Look no further. He's great!
I read the reviews on here, and I was kind of scared, then I got to the class and was definitely scared... but for no reason!! He is such an amazing professor. He lays everything out about the class and himself on the first day. Super honest! I talked about his class to my family everyday because I loved it so much. Please take him!!!

Weekly canvas quizzes (Sunday) from book, tests(literally memorize the slides!), and one book report. EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES! TIPS:Print out the lecture slides(3per pg), read the book chp and quizzes out of the way, participate/ask, go to class!
I dont usually write reviews for professor but OMG HE MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH PSYCHOLOGY!! His lectures are so fun and hes sarcastic and hilarious. A little intimidating but Id take his class again and again! Lecture are important and if you pay attention in the class youll get a good grade. His quizzes are all on quizlet!
He's very intimidating, and can be very short. The truth is you have to get to know him on a personal level before he warms up to you. He's strict but fair. His tests are not overly hard, it's all in the wording so read carefully. Essay and assignments are easy. Everything online is open access so get it done ASAP. He's scary--but still human.
I wasn't really surprised for this class but let me tell you he was great. I found most of his quizzes answers on quilt and he doesn't give much homework. H kind of gives a background on what to study and all his tests are multiple choice. f you study his notes you'll do fine. Also, I bought the textbook, but i never used it.
Dr. Stallings is a great professor. This class is very insightful and interesting. Ive learned so much from his lectures that i will continue to carry on with me. He makes class very interesting. This class is easy so as long as you complete all the assignments and attend class!
I tried to talk about this in class but he would get rude. He has claimed things against prophets and the books. If I were him I would be extremely scared to stand in front of God because imagine the things you claimed to be false are true. I would much rather be safe than sorry than to find out heaven and hell are true, and so was everything else.
By far the most caring and respectful professor Ive had. Stallings lectures are not boring he makes it interactive and has a lot of great funny content to make the lectures more related. Stallings also likes to do one on ones at the beginning of the semester to learn how he can help you succeed. Stallings is by far the best.
He is a very good professor to take for an online class. His class does require doing a lot of essays but over time I realized that he would give 100s on all my essays because I completed it. he looks for students who turn in their work onetime and actually put in effort. He isn't really that good with feedback on the essays fyi.
This class had a lot of discussion questions and a few papers, but wasn't too bad overall. It was an average, online class.
YALL DO NOT TAKE HIM!! JUST TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS. You want someone who will give you a 0 in 0.2 seconds then this Professor should be your pick. Save your grades and you college GPA. Any tiny mistake and you have a 0.
In all honesty I wouldnt take this class because its extremely hard plus the teacher is very strict. STUDY because tests are nothing like the review and they are DIFFICULT.
He was a great professor, in my opinion. I will say he was a little harsh and rude here and there, but I think it's a good thing since it grounds you, makes you put in effort. I would say that you rarely ever meet an intimidating professor who is also a good at teaching, at a community college, and he was both. His lectures really stuck with me.
Professor Stallings expects his students to keep track of their responsibilities in the class. All due dates for the entire semester are available to you on the first day of class. Just turn in your work on time and study a little for the exams and you'll be good to go! I saw him during office hours and was really glad I did.
Dont take. Class is hard and Professor is pretty mean. He wont really help you with anything. Also you have to work really hard for your grade.
Easy A, lots of class discussions, slides are easy to follow but follow along with the text book too. Print out slides ahead of time to write additional info he talks about that isnt on the slides but will absolutely be on quizzes and tests.
Loved Professor Stallings!!!!!! Take him, hes amZingggggg
such a funny and lively teacher, incorporates stories that makes you remember terms whether u meant to or not. no complaints here at all
Easy A. Theres a lot of writing but if you do it then you get an A. Dont buy the book you dont need it. At first he didnt count attendance but in the middle of the semester he changed and every time you were absent he take 1 point away from your grade. All the quizzes and exam are on quizlet.
Everything about his class is HARD, the material is not hard, BUT he make it harder, be it the discussion or the the quizzes. HARDEST class I've ever took so far.
This is the worst class I have ever taken with the rudest professor I have ever had. I genuinely hope he reads these ratings and changes something about himself because this class makes me want to drop out forever. I have never been so uninspired and disrespected by a teacher.
Yallllllllllll Im telling you RUNNNN. JUST LISTEN.
I am a pretty good student and do all my work. This class is a class I would not recommend as the level of difficulty is at a all time high. The workload is a lot and the tests are extraordinarily difficult.
If you are reading this it is your warning to not take his class. if you take his class anyways do not complain when you suffer, fail, and are disrespected by him. this class is the worst thing i have ever taken and he is the rydest professor.
Theres quite a bit of writing but it's not hard at all. He's a pretty easy grader. The quizzes are really easy. Highly recommend
He's a great Professor, make sure to write down notes during lectures, and if you can't the slides are available on Canvas
I had him for Abnormal Psych. There's a short quiz every week, 3 discussions, 3 written assignments, and 3 exams. Quiz and exam questions can be found on Quizlet. It may seem like a lot of work, but it's easy and he is a fair grader. Pay attention to deadlines, he does NOT accept late work. He's comical and shares many crazy stories!
This dude must be giving himself ratings because I have no idea why there would be a single positive one. I have never been in a worse class or had a worse professor. Rude and makes me hate going to school. Never had such a disrespectful professor and I wont be returning to collin because of him.
The Professor is extra mean. I havent met someone as mean as him ever. Would not recommend this class because of the Professor.
Professor Stallings's class was meh. He is rude, vindictive, easily hurt, prone to anger, and ridicule his students when challenged. I saw all these good reviews on this site and decided to take his class, but he isn't all that. There are much better teachers, and he knows that. He hides behind pettiness and poor attitude.
This man didnt graduate w a degree in psychology , he graduated with a degree in failing people and bullying with honors in starting arguments.
I absolutely love Professor Stallings. His lectures are amazing and he is hilarious. His lectures were the highlight of my semester. Reading the textbook will get you an A. The written assignments were very interesting to do, very fun.
This man is seriously rating himself because all the good reviews have similar details. He isn't funny or nice. If you are interested in psychology, do NOT take his class because he is going to ruin it for you.
If you crave a F and difficulty in life then take Professor stallings.
Professor thrives off of making fun of students. Along with that he is extremely strict and forces his ideas down your throat, many times he wont even let you talk because of how rude he is towards you. If he doesnt like a student that student will go through hell and probably come out with a failing grade.
Nightmare Professor. Very scary and mean. At times I thought he was a robot without a heart.
I took this class because of the reviews I saw saying he was alright but after taking his class, I would not take it again. Will favor students who agree with his ideas, which are racist, rude, and depressing ideas.
I would always be terrified to speak to Professor Stallings. He makes you feel very uncomfortable. I got an ok grade but had to work for it, and never asked him for help because of how mean he is.
Professor uses hypnosis and weird stuff. Stay out of this class!
He's a great professor, especially his lectures. There is a quiz every week, a study guide, three tests, and only a few essays. He's an easy grader, I got full points on all my essays. There is really no need for a book, just take good notes as he gives a ton of examples that will be on the test.
Something is extremely wrong with this Professor. The way he talks to his students is abhorrent and disturbing. He talks about feelings all day yet has so little himself. Please do not sign up for this class.
I came out of this class feeling so depressed. He is very against religion and you can just feel the lifelessness because of it, honestly without God you can see and feel how depressing it is.
Beware! THIS IS YOUR WARNING. DO NOT and I REPEAT DO NOT BY ANY MEANS pick this Professor. If you choose not to listen and sign up anyways do not complain when you FAIL!, are falling into depression because of this class, deal with the earths most rudest Professor all to just earn a decent grade. This man DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING HOOT ABOUT STUDENTS.
I absolutely loved this class! He was funny and his lectures sometimes flew by. You have to stay on top of things because he is strict on late work. He seems a little intimidating at first, but he warms up. I think most of the people on here talking bad about him probably didn't do their work on time, but that's just my guess.
I was struggling in Professor Stallings' class due to some medical issues. He worked with me to make sure that I could get all assignments completed. When I was in class, we had a pretty good time as he makes the classroom a fun place to be. I strongly recommend him!
Good prof! He made class entertaining and that made things easier to remember. Is available outside class if you need help. If you've got to take a PSYC class, this is a good choice!
Hands down, take this class! He was an awesome professor. Gave extra credit for coming to office hours, provided helpful reviews and was a pretty easy grader. Just be sure to turn things in on time. Definite two thumbs up!
I had heard both negative and positive things about this guy, but I decided to take the class anyway. I'm really glad I did. It was a fun class and he kept us engaged with stories and humor. He expects you to show up on time and turn in work on time. If you can do that, you'll really enjoy the class!
This was one of the most unpleasant classes I've ever taken. Stallings is obnoxiously anal about his tardy policy and treats his college students like 6th graders. I also don't think that humiliating students in front of a very large class for not answering a question right makes for a great educator.
I enjoyed this class and his teaching style. He is direct and clear and makes class fun. Remember your due dates and you'll be fine.
Professor Stallings worked with me this past semester when I had some personal difficulties. Go see him during office hours and you'll see what I'm talking about. He made it possible for me to finish the class on time and with a good grade.
This was a fantastic class! Professor Stallings is by far my favorite professor at Collin! Class was fun, assignments were clear and tests came directly from what was covered in class. I highly recommend!
Test questions were hard to understand and very elaborate, tests will make you feel stressed. At times it seemed like he didn't want you to succeed.
For your own good, please avoid him. Entering the semester, I saw all the bad reviews he had but thought How bad could it be? Well, it is terrible. He is an arrogant, unhelpful, stubborn man and he is by far the worst teacher I have ever had in all my life
The teacher is a jerk. He makes it hard for students to ask questions in class. Aweful. His test are extremely hard, the class average was like a 65% on the first test.
Worst professor I have ever had. Professors like him are the reason I wanna drop out of school. Never met someone who cares so little about their students.
This was one of my favorite classes at Collin. Professor Stallings made class fun and told good stories to make us remember things. He's an easy grader too. Just be sure to pay attention to deadlines. Definitely recommend!
Prof. S. responded very quickly to emails and addressed my concerns accordingly. The class is laid out for you at the very beginning so there are no surprises. Grades easy and a normal amount of effort required. No complaints.
I had a good time in this class. He is pretty funny and makes class enjoyable. Remember to turn things in on time. He is strict about deadlines, but is an easy grader. This was a relatively easy A for me.
Prof. Stallings is so kind! I had a lot of questions throughout the semester, and he was always quick to respond via email and was very encouraging! His lectures are very interesting and his quizzes and tests are very easy--if you read your textbook and take good notes! I also really enjoyed the discussion boards and papers he assigned! Take him!
Professor Stallings was amazing throughout the whole semester. He was always fair and was always very clear on instructions. If you do the reading, youll have no problem passing! His exams were easy if you put in the work! I would definitely take his class again.
Its really a shame that people can have such low character and treat people with such little respect. Hopefully this professor reads this review and decides to respect his future students.
Great professor and helpful and he will help the older adult students out more.
Strict on Tardiness. I was very engaged and lectures were enjoyable. Easy Grader. Slides focus very heavily on the answers, so as long as you pay attention you'll get a majority of things right. Things were organized and mapped out well. It was advised to print out presentation slides before class, but it made it easier to take notes.
Professor Stallings has engaging lectures and a great sense of humor. There are plenty of easy projects to help boost grades, and quizzes to help cram for exam materials. He always reminds students of when they are due. Exams are mostly on information covered during lecture so attendance is important.
Professor Stallings doesnt deserve the bad rep. If you go in ready to learn and organize yourself to do your work on time, then youre basically acing his class. Hes funny and open to discussion. Late policy is stiff but cmon its not that hard to be on time, were all adults. I think you just need to come to class with the right attitude :)
I took his online class which was not difficult at all, be prepared to write, if your good at essays then you should have no problems, the prompts are very self explanatory for the assignments just do not plagiarize. Get the book because you will need it for the assignments and the test are not tough if your a good note taker, good luck and enjoy!
I absolutely loved this class. Fun and funny. I already took AP Psych in high school so it was like a review, but you literally just print the power points for notes and show up to the class and take notes. It's not that hard. And to the ones who disagree- get a grip because you have other things to worry about than another man's religious beliefs.
Professor Stallings has been possibly one of my favorite teachers Ive ever had. I had him for general psych and he did a fantastic job bringing the material to life with his own experiences and stories. As long as you come to class prepared and on time youll be good to go. If I could take his class again I would in a heartbeat.
Extremely rude man. Throughout the semester I watched him roll his eyes, speak over, mock, and completely humiliate his own students. He seems to thrive off of making his students feel insecure and small. The class itself was pretty easy with a good amount of homework, but I strongly encourage you NOT to take this class because of him.
I had Professor Stallings in the Fall of 2022. I wasn't particularly excited to be taking a Psychology class, but he made the material really interesting. He created an atmosphere where students felt safe asking questions and the time just seemed to fly by. Be sure to attend class and take notes. I recommend Professor Stallings to everyone!
Mr.Stallings beliefs seemed illogical and shared too much of his personal life with the class. I took this class to help me in my engineering degree and instead found myself knowing more about his life than the topics at hand.
Instead of teaching he rambles about his personal affairs. In my opinion he is very unprofessional.
Professor Stalling is not only incredibly knowledgeable about Psychology but is particularly skilled at communicating this information simply. I found lectures eye-opening and entertaining, which made learning a breeze.
Professor Stallings was my favorite professor at Collin yet! His lectures were interesting, and he always had examples to support his teaching. He is a great professor and gives a lot of extra credit if you show up and do the work he asks for. His quizzes are from the textbook, and his tests are pretty simple.
This was a great class and a great professor. He's pretty engaging, sometimes funny and uses good examples to explain concepts. Show up to class on time and take some decent notes and you'll be fine. I would recommend this professor to anyone.
Please if you read this review know I will be saving you from the worst class you can take. Please please stay away from this Professor. I have a theory that he harvests the tears of his students because he is so evil. Class is a serious health liability, will literally mentally deteriorate you.
If you're looking for a class where the time seems to fly by, this guy is for you. Lectures were interesting and thought-provoking. He's pretty funny too. This was one of my favorite classes at Collin. I've recommended him to a couple of friends and they loved him too.
This professor's class was a constant source of frustration, and maintaining good mental health during the semester was a real challenge. It's evident that he lacks genuine concern for his students. His indifferent attitude and lack of support make it clear that he shouldn't be in a teaching role. Avoid if possible!
Great class! Professor Stallings uses real life examples that make the concepts easier to understand and remember. Lectures were fun and engaging and he's sometimes funny. He uses a bit of sarcasm, but never in a way intended to offend or insult anyone. I really enjoyed this class and would recommend it to anyone.
I took PSYC 2314. The class itself seemed easy however taking it in the wintermester I wouldn't have expected there to be 8 full papers. If you have a FT job or anything similar you'd have to dedicate a lot of time to this course while balancing that. It was complicated for me but I'm sure very doable for a FT student.
Mr. Stallings was exceptionally great at teaching. His lectures were very thorough and thought provoking. I'm surprised to see that some students didn't like him sharing his personal stories but he always did that in the context of the subject on hand to better explain through real life examples. I truly appreciated his teaching style.
good professor but VERY strict on deadlines He makes no exceptions for late work and will only give you partial credit based on the circumstance He makes lectures interesting and fun and not hard to get an A but you have to make sure you turn everything on time and follow exact rubric Attendance is a grade so be there on frequently & on time
Professor Stallings' lectures were engaging, though he sometimes shared personal anecdotes. The class was manageable with the textbook and regular attendance. To prepare, I found unstuck study and the class notes very helpful.
Don't mind the comments others have said about this professor. He can be a bit harsh with his students, but he has openly acknowledged an attempt to work on this. A very respectable teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory but you'll get extra credit for being present in some cases. Very enlightening class, enjoyed the personal anecdotes he shared.
Dr. Stallings makes his lectures very engaging through a combination of personal anecdotes, humor, and general kindness. To a degree, I am saddened his class is over, primarily due to how joyful his class is in nature. All his assignments are on Canvas and are meant to be done on your own time before due dates.
He wasn't a hard professor, but was a hard grader. He doesn't accept late work, so you'll need to stay on top of deadlines. I personally wouldn't take him again—maybe it was just the online format, but even the syllabus had a condescending tone. That said, the workload wasn't heavy. Use your discretion whether to take his class.
I think there are some days where he is caring, and then other days where he gets extremely frustrated by his students. But to be fair, they don't attend classes and then when they finally come back to class after years of being gone, they have a thousand and one questions. So he is rude at times. The class was easy though if you balance work well
This was a great class with a great professor. He showed that he cared about his students by constantly checking in on them and asking about their lives outside the classroom. He grades pretty easily as long as you turn things in on time. He is strict about deadlines. I had a good time though. His lectures were pretty funny at times.
I don't understand the bad reviews on here honestly, because he's one of the best professors I've had, hands down! He was extremely kind and caring about students, an easy grader, has really fun lectures and he's really funny. He's also very chill too, and is understanding about everything. I highly recommend taking him for psychology.
Mr. Stallings is a caring man but sometimes can be rough around the edges. He does mean well and wants his students to succeed. Do the work, show up to class, and you will be fine. He is also funny!
This course was one that I thoroughly enjoyed definitely due to Professor Stallings! He made lectures fun and interesting and he is a very kind person. Definitely recommend him!
The class lectures are primarily focused around powerpoints over each unit, and he goes beyond what is written on the slides. Because of this, I'd say it's incredibly important to stay engaged during lectures. Only 3 exams and they're all in person. and there are all easy if you take the time to study and look over the textbook. Amazing professor!
The hardest assignment is the group debate. You cannot stutter or he will deduct a few points. He goes through the slides really fast, but he does post them. You do need the textbook. Get an online version if you can, that way you can search through it when taking exams/ quizzes (they are open note). He is a touch judgy, but understanding.
