Comment:

Stasio is super sweet and nice, but the class is so bone dry that it is so boring to sit through. Students have to write everything down since nothing is posted, but tbh you might as well just read the book because all exam content comes from there, barely any from the notes.

Comment:

Stasio is a sweetheart. He answers students questions/comments by saying how much he appreciates it. He is very clear and truly pro-student. He is super accessible outside of class and encourages you to go and ask him any questions. If you read the book, you will definitely get an A on his class. I love him and would definitely take again.

Comment:

He makes classes engaging, however the tests are difficult for a 100 level class. Your grade is only on tests and quiz's. If you miss a class you'll miss whats on the test and he doesn't post lecture notes on blackboard. He is friendly and approachable

Comment:

I would avoid him if you could. He reads off the lecture slides and doesn't post them so you have to copy them all. He expects you to read the entire book for exams but won't tell you what you actually need to read. He lectures like you are in middle school, and will give a break even when people express they would rather get out early.

Comment:

Dr. Stasio is my favorite professor within the psych department so I was incredibly surprised to see these negative comments. I find his lectures truly prepare you for the test. You'll know what will be on the test if you pay attention. Hes also and incred0ibly nice person. He never makes you feel stupid. (Psy 201 is just boring material

Worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are useless since exams only come from the textbook. I read and still did bad because it's impossible to read 80 pages and remember the slightest detail for one of the MC. stay clear of stasio

Stasio is the most understanding professor I have ever had. He answers every question by letting us know how much he appreciates student feedback. The multiple choice on the exams come directly from the book and essays are on class notes. Few Homework assignments. Also always goes over homework and tests in detail. Truly a sweetheart.

Comment:

his lectures were good and never very boring. overall a great professor. my only issue is that the tests cover alot of material, and if you dont study the right material youre screwed. i studied close to 20 hours per test and still seemed to miss some material. doesnt curve either. but offers alot of extra credit.

Dr. Stasio is very inspiring. His lectures are captivating even on boring topics. He cares about his students and allows students to feel comfortable asking questions. This is college- you have to read before class, pay attention in class, and study outside of class.

Comment:

Very clear cut professor. He will have some fun with the class and his lectures though. He is not always so serious however you will always know what he expects from you in this course. Overall if you read like you should, which is not that much, and properly pay attention- you will do well and enjoy this course.

Comment:

Helpful professor, knowledgable, exams can be tough, must read material before class to get a better understanding of the course material, pay close attention to lectures, class is some what long, but he wants to ensure the material is available to the students or at least be discussed in class, ask questions it'll be an advantage for you.

He is very helpful and super nice but the class is so boring. He never lets you out early, which made it even worse. Get ready for one long semester.

Comment:

Stasio was a nice guy, but a difficult professor. His tests cover a lottttt of material; a combination of lecture and textbook readings so it was hard to study. Probably could get a better grade for this class with another professor.

Comment:

For a senior capstone class, he definitely makes you work. Other professors are more laid back about this class, but he assigns a lot of reading and papers. Not a very fun senior class. Not the most interesting professor neither.
