I love Dr. Stephens! His personality is great and makes every class interesting. His class is very lecture intensive but he posts them on Canvas so it's okay if you miss some information. Your grade is compiled only of test. He gives you 25 vocab words that you have to study and the test is matching. If you don't know the terms you won't pass.
Very funny. Test are easy. Class is easy to pass if you remember the statistic formulas correctly
If you need extra help go to his office hours and he will be willing to help. Show up to class, ask questions, and take good notes. You should have no problem with receiving an A. Overall he is a great professor.
By far the funniest professor at CAU. well educated and will help you pass. Wish i could take him for more classes. def recommend him to everybody!
One of the coolest teachers I have ever had. She tells corny jokes and knows how to get the material across in a great way.
Not a difficult teacher. Show up to class, pay attention and you will get an A.
Take Dr. Stephens for general psychology hes the best. Real understanding, just go to class sign and take notes Easy A on test.
Outstanding professor, very helpful. Well respected by students and other faculty and stuff. Fast paste teaching but is sure that everyone in the class has a clear understanding.
Overall a great teacher. Absolutely hilarious, very well versed in the content that he knows, highly intelligent. Come to class, follow along with the notes, and do the work. It is absolutely an easy A. His comebacks and name calling might be aggressive at first but you learn to laugh at it! In totality, TAKE HIM and enjoy!
Dr. Stephens is one of the hilarious teachers I've ever had. The class is test heavy but you will only go over content that is on the test, he gives plenty of practice problems before the test and that is essentially the class making sure you know the information.
Funny & the test are fairly easy if you attend class
great professor
The class is difficult only if you dont apply yourself. He teaches in a way that makes you want to learn more. Dont skip class or you will be lost! The only thing I disliked is he would teach a portion for like a week and a half then you take a test! Hes cool af tho!
Great professor! learned a lot about statistics and how to solve problems by hand.
Amazing Professor
He was an amazing professor just study for your test and you will do fine.
Very good professor work load is slightly a lot but I would definitely recommend to anyone
Anything with his name on it? read it , any class that he teaches? Take it . I remember failing a class and crying in his office (he didnt even know me at the time lol) he told me shut up ,stop crying and take me next semester and every since then Ive taken him every chance I could! His style of teaching is phenomenal. You will enjoy
Great personality, excellent professor and extremely honest
Unlike others, his tests are literally based off his lectures. Show up, take notes, and you'll be sure to pass!
No textbook is required. The way he breaks down the steps to solve each problem is VERY beneficial. He teaches at a fast pace, but no worries. He gives plenty examples of each concept before moving on. Miss only one class, and you will get behind.
Can be VERY sarcastic but will always help you out when it comes to his class work.
Can be VERY sarcastic but will always help you with your work.
Dr. Stephens is one of my faves at CAU. He is a easy grader, but you will have to submit an assignment or take a quiz every week. The class is only one day a week and doesn't last the whole period. He uses crazy language so if you aren't okay with light name calling do not take his class.
Absolutely a wonderful professor. Always cracking jokes, but truly is a great teacher. He wants you to learn and to be better in psychology and the coursework he does give indeed does do that! Make sure to do the work properly and be thorough because he does read and grade accordingly! Overall made me love meta-analysis and writing in psychology.
Great professor, enjoyable lectures. Very nonchalant attitude but he's really funny and informative.
Dr. Stephens is an honest professor. He doesnt ask for much & his expectations are clear. He will definitely help you receive a good grade if you do the work. His classes arent hard at all.
Dr. Stephens is passionate about the courses he teaches and wants more for students. Provided all resources to succeed in courses.
Dr. Stephens is an extremely good professors that cares about all of his students equally. He believes in us even when we do not believe in ourselves. The class consist of only tests so be prepared to study but they are very easy if you show up to class and study. The lectures are informative and he adds in different life stories to engage us.
"Teacher" is an amazing professor that understands the material and how to make it easier to understand for his students. He makes a lot of jokes, and may be sarcastic at times, however he really does care. If you speak to him, and come to class, you will pass easily.
The best professor on CAU campus !!!
I enjoyed this class hes Really funny, down to earth and still does an amazing job as a professor Two question quiz every week two papers throughout the semester. he gets off topic sometimes about Memphis or his life but easy to stay on track. Easy A or B
Tests are frequent in that class. Lots of lecturing, great job explaining
Great professor. Related closely to urban student culture. Study lecture slides carefully
He actually CARES about you as a student! He is very understanding and he will work with you. I took 4 different classes with him, and I got an A in every one. Build a relationship with him and he will do everything he can to ensure you pass.
Dr. Stephens is an amazing professor! He cares about his students and takes the time to express that, in his own way. The lectures are long, but it is important to pay attention to the information on the slides, in order to make good grades on his quizzes. Dr. Stephens is one of the best professors Ive ever had and I appreciate him, as you will!
He's a great professor and funny. He keeps it beyond real and mean what he say.
Dr. Stephens was one of the very few professors that I had this semester that was very understanding, considerate, and extremely helpful during this online experience during the pandemic. I definitely recommend you taking him! he is an amazing teacher and made this online class experience during the pandemic a lot less stressful.
Professor Stephens is literally the best. He is very understanding and flexible. His lectures may seem very detailed but it will help in the long run to listen. Study for his test and you should pass the class with flying colors.
Pretty simple class not many assignments just a exams
Honestly was a great class with an amazing professor and would 100% recommend taking this class.
Professor Stephens knew how to teach us the material and then translate it into Gen Z terms; he knew how to relate the material to our daily lives for a better understanding.
Best Professor ever. Very knowledgeable and gives research backed perspectives of psychological theories. I also had him for Statistics and he made sure we understood the material and was a great professor to follow.
Great professor. Made the course work easy to follow and is very lenient and understanding when grading.
I had professor Torrance for Statistics I and passed with an A. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't attend class you wont pass. He works fast but pay attention and you'll be fine. He's funny and teaches in a way everyone will understand. Ask questions, he'll be more than willing to answer. No graded homework. Grades come strictly from tests
Literally one of the first college professors I absolutely adore. He is very straight forward with his grading and what needs to be done. It is lecture heavy I feel it is best to attend, but its not mandatory being that he posts his PowerPoints online. Honestly I highly recommend.
very interesting lectures. Not too much work but not too little
Teacher is probably one of the best teachers i have had at cau. He does move fast but he always makes himself available and explains work very well. Definitely going to take him again!
Dr. Stephens is a very funny and a real straight up with you type of professor. He gives all of his student's tough love but he cares about us for sure. We come into class and he is always ready and prepared to teach the next assignment. He moves at a good enough pace that you can consume every bit of information. Ask questions for sure & show up.
Professor Stephens is one of the best professors I've ever had. He always comes to class prepared and ready to teach. He has a very comfortable teaching environment and his lectures are very interesting and engaging. You can tell that he really cares for his students. Show up, ask questions, and take notes, you'll do great.
this is a smoove prof. his lectures are quick and his requirements are straight to the point and a lot isn't asked for in this class. It's easy to get a good grade, show up, pay attention, and take the test.
Professor Stephens is a gem. I encourage all Psych majors at Clark to take him at least one time if you can (you'll probably end up crossing paths anyways). Loved the classes I took with him, and looking forward to the ones I am taking next semester. Great Professor!
It started a little bit difficult, however, Professor Stephens made sure we covered the material carefully and taught at a good paced. He did not rush nor did he teach at a slow pace.
Second time taking Stats and Dr. Stevens made the material much clearer then previous professors. Def would take him again! Funny asl made waking up at 9 hilarious!
An amazing funny teacher however attendance is not mandatory but I highly encourage everyone to attend because if you don't you will not pass the class
Every class something new is taught so attendance is definitely required. If you miss class, you need to get the notes because its going to be on the mock test and test. If you dont understand you should speak up as well because he will move on if no one says anything. Once you understand, the class itself is easy.
Professor Stephens has always been fair, caring and interested in us (the students). I enjoy taking his classes and always look for him when signing up for a course.
He was great
He was communicative and taught fast easy and understandable for everybody.
good communication, wants you to succeed
I took 2 classes for him this semester physiological psychology and statistics, he is a great professor! In CPSY415 it is lecture heavy but the test were online, in statistics if you miss class you may fall behind because the test are in person but he is a for grader and wants people to succeed. There was no official midterm or final!
This professor is very understanding and easy, it do not require al lot and his class is interesting. I would rate him a 9/10 but the only things is he only gives exams for credit.
Great teacher! Great experience!
Great teacher !! Teaching method and lessons is very clear and understandable.
Great
Had him for a general psychology class online, then for my statistics class. It's an easy class, you just have to come to class because if you don't you will miss something and be behind. You will learn like two-three different types of data and be tested on those. But if you try and show your work on the test he will definitely give you points.
Overall is an obviously intelligent and brilliant man but lacks a lot of understanding of the new aged way of thinking. He also tends to be too comfortable sharing his biases and political views in the classroom, which is unprofessional. He would do good touching up on the new research over the topics he discusses.
He expects you to be the adult and make rules on your own which is great. How we do in his class is on us.
He can be very brutally honest but he is a good teacher. He also talks and can be very engaging you have to be attentive.
You have to do the quizzes on canvas based on the modules he teaches in class and basically all the assignments we do ourselves, but they aren't hard at all. I'd recommend doing the quizzes as he goes through them and not waiting until they are due. This is a real cool class and he makes it fun with the type of humor he has.
Overall he was a good professor, test and work were online and weren't difficult. I would take the class again.
He was amazing not strenuous or anything. He didn't has personality that can seem like he is brutal but he means well and challenges us to be the best and to be more knowledgeable.
He's funny and will make you laugh. He likes class participation so be prepared to answer a few questions or respond when he asks. If he gets done with his lecture early, he lets the class go and not just keep us unnecessarily. Overall 10/10.
This professor is raw and uncut, reminds you of a family member, very funny and tells it how it is personality. Very lecture heavy, test heavy, and paper heavy however all work was manageable. He accommodated our class by being online for the first time. I would have enjoyed his presence in person though. Show up. Be accountable. You'll do great.
He really the best!! He funny too. I love professors who know how to be a professor and friend to their students!!
The class isn't that difficult. I had him for general psychology; the classes were online. Assignments are clearly outlined from the beginning of the year. He can be a bit difficult to contact out of class, but that's it.
Take him for stats,
Stephens is a great professor he does really well at breaking everything down to the ability to understand, however, I didn't like the fact that I signed up for an in person Statistics class and he just moved it online making us come in only on days of tests. I do much better understanding math, explaining math when being taught in person.
He's. very great professor ! He is very understanding and willing to help make sure everyone understands the material
Dr. Stephens is a great lecturer and adds humor to all of his presentations. He makes the information relatable and makes us apply them in our work. Our work consists of papers and quizzes. There are no midterms/finals. Just show up to every class, do the assigned readings/lectures, quizzes, and papers!
One of the best professors, just do your work and you will pass. He answers emails in a timely manner and is funny during lectures.
No homework only tests and they are easy to study for
He was a funny professor! It made me appreciate his lectures. The class contributed to my career in more ways than I know of, today :)
Pay attention
Very laid back and straightforward, most cases the course is open from the beginning and more work at your own pace ahead or stick with him in line with lectures and things but for the most part very easy going just do your work and ask questions if you have any. Highly recommend!
Knowledgeable of subject
Professor Stephens was understanding and his courses are usually on the easy side.
Dr. Stephens is hilarious, reminds you of a family member. He is lecture heavy and you will have to write a lot of papers, but overall the class is easy. He has a no nonsense personality, but shows it in humor. You'll do great, just apply yourself.
Dr. Stephens is a phenomenal teacher, but if you're not willing to put in the work for his classes outside of the classroom, I wouldn't recommend him for you.

A ggreat professor
Mr.Stephens has become one of my favorite professors at Clark.The Class was online and I was able to go work at my own pace. He opens the floor up for questions after every lecture and he tells good jokes lol
He Made Learning Statistics Interesting. His methods (Having us participate in class, giving us practice problems, etc) allowed me to excel in the class.
Dr. Stephens is a highly knowledgeable and respected professor and researcher. I have great admiration for him, and I truly enjoyed being in his class. I can confidently say I wouldn't have wanted to take statistics with anyone else!
Its pretty explanatory and he doesn't grade homework but he does want you to do it for practice and he goes over examples in class.
He is very understanding and helps a lot...the lectures also help a lot when it comes to quizzes.
Would take this professor again he was great
His course was online he didn't expect anything that would stress you out test was real easy and listening to his lectures wasn't hard I honestly love this Professosr very authentic and love creating bonds with his students
Professor Stephens is extremely knowledgeable and conveys material clearly. His teaching emphasizes participation, making class engaging, but the workload is heavy, so many papers, so many papers! While challenging, the assignments help reinforce understanding and critical thinking.
Dr.Stephens is a very good professor. He connects very well with the students and makes sure you are able to understand the material by providing mock tests and having examples available on canvas. he only takes attendance the first couple days of classes and after the first two or three days he transitions class to online on zoom.
