Comment:

Dr. Stokley is a really nice and funny guy. He will definitely keep you entertained with his crazy stories. He does tend to get off topic a lot which makes it hard to know what to study for on the exam. But he gives LOTS of extra credit so you should be good.The only thing I hated about this class was he keeps you the whole time, sometimes longer!

Comment:

He needs to stick to the book. He doesn't give out slides,so the only way to get what little notes he has is by showing up and you'll only get through one or two (slides) if you're lucky because he gets off topic very easily. He does grade easy on the other stuff he assigns, but tests are hard to study for because of the lack of material to study.

Comment:

So far, my favorite professor at Tech. He's more like a great friend than a professor. He's extremely popular throughout the Tech campus. He should be retiring soon, which i am very sad to hear, but his legacy that he has made here at Tech will live on.

Comment:

Dr. Stokley is a great instructor who understands that teaching is more than simply telling someone what to do. He encourages thought. If you want someone to tell you to memorize something, you should probably find another instructor if you want to have your views challenged and thoughts provoked, he is a great teach for the job.

Comment:

This guy talks way too much off topic. It will keep you guessing about this guy's life after hearing story after story. Glad he's retiring, the Sociology dept. will improve with his departure. It's better to at least feel like I earned a grade.

Comment:

Anyone who can not pass one of Stokely's classes is incredibly lazy and does not want to earn a grade, they want it given to them. Stokely is a very smart man, who if you actually LISTENED to his stories, attempts to put concepts into lamens terms so that you understand them. 1 of the most understanding teachers at Tech. He Cares about his students

Doesnt stay on Topic at all. Mostly tells storys. You will need the book in order to pass the test and nothing he says in class is on the test. I spend the whole class staring at the clock waiting to go

The man never stays on topic. I spend the entire class looking at the clock, and I'm a psych major. I should be enjoying it.

Dr. Stokley is a really nice guy but his teaching skills are less than satisfactory. The entire class is him telling stories and having to guess what your test is on. Make sure you read your book.

Comment:

He is extremely helpful. His tests are easy if you study the notes and read. He makes it interesting and has stories for everything. Be preparded to hear about his sex life and his views on things. He's very open. I love his class. (My mom did too when she went here. If that gives you an idea of how old he is. haha)

Great guy. Stories are funny but alot of times off the subject. test were pretty easy. I didn't study for one test and got a C and the next test i studied alot and still got the exact same grade. He really makes you think about things. Do the assignments and go to class and its a very easy class. I hope to take him again sometime.
