Comment:

Capella student: Dr. Stacks seems to care about his students, but his delivery at times can be misunderstood. Dr. Stacks has his own view of what online learning should look like and may not align with normal expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable.

Super nice guy that respects students and their efforts. He's not into grades, so if you do the work, you get an A.

Comment:

I don't know why everyone is saying that he's a bad teacher. The only way that someone can fail that class is to skip and not do the work. I had a 3 hr class and most of the class would skip every day or leave early. Then they would complain that they didn't know of a due date. It's in the syllabus. GO TO CLASS...DO THE WORK. You'll get and A++

I have taken two classes under him. Made A's in both. He's a decent teacher. Really seems to care about his students and the subject matter.

Now, students have to GROW UP and remember their position! Stats was not the easiest class, but it was a very concise one. I learned a lot in this class and it helped me for my other classes. Dr. Stacks, thanks for caring so much about your students!

I have learned to appreciate stats. I am not a math person and have never liked it. He helped me become motivated and learn to like stats better. He has helped me alot. Excellent teacher for people who are beginners.

Really nice guy. If you are willing to take notes, participate in lectures, read a little and attend the pre-test study lectures, you can earn an A. Don't complain if you sleep, talk, and don't attend class.

Comment:

Dr. Stacks is a very sincere human being, yet he is one whom has a sensitive soul. I want to thank him for requiring me to use the knowledge that he presents and use them on tests. This requires me to know the material instead of just memorizing it.

Comment:

In my three years at this school, I have never had a professor who cared as much for his students. Though at times we miss where he's going, he understands what we are going through in our schooling and that is what we need more of on this campus.

To the person that posted "If you don't read the textbook, you will fail his class" I must reply: Hey dumbass, if you dont read the textbook, you will fail a lot of classes! Grow UP, Show Up, SHUT UP and learn. Dr. Stacks is OK by me.

Comment:

He is a fair teacher. He might not always be the most clear teacher but after while will get his point across. People need to grow up and learn that we're now in a Junior level class and our teacher doesn't have to kiss our ass, we need to work with him

Dr. Stacks has been more than fair on his grading. People need to quit missing class and just plain grow up. This is not Community College anymore and if PHI THETA KAPPA's doesn't like it is not my problem. Great Teacher!!!

He's a nice person who gives fair grades.He is very helpful and is very kind outside of class. He's goes above and beyond to acknowledge the students' feelings, and I can tell he really cares about his job.

He is a nice guy and he grades fair. Sure he gets overworked easily, but once we all talked about it he has gotten much better. His lectures are not like his tests, but I think that is so we can understand the thinking behind the equation.

Comment:

This professor is more than fair. He has given a large curve on all our tests so he can't be as mean as everyone is saying. True, his lectures are a little hard to follow, but he will try to work with you if you ask him.

Dr.Stacks is a very fair and good teacher. I feel all this hatred is not due to him. I learn a lot out of his classes. He is there for you if you have any problems, and he is a very nice and helpful man. You guys are awful for what you say

He's not bad..you're almost gauranteed a good grade if you come. They just expect stats to be a bowl of cherries.Try talking to him,he's really nice and helpful.He does have a sense of scarcasm,but who doesn't,its mostly legit ne ways.

Comment:

Dr. Stacks is not that bad. His tests are simple, he grades on a bell curve...it's not hard to pass his classes. But, there's a good chance you'll just walk away from them none-the-wiser. And he's only made the spoiled girls cry...that's not too hard.
