Reviews of professor Joseph Stafura

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
One of the best, most caring, and easiest professors I have had at PITT. Extremely lenient when it comes to due dates, accessible outside of class for any/all concerns about assignments, and super helpful with resources for internships and other learning opportunities outside of class subject. I definitely recommend Prof Joe :)

Joe was a great teacher. He was very funny during lecture and passionate about what he taught. He always wrote down extra sources that he would add to Canvas for the students to look through and explore if they were curious about a certain topic or career. He is also very open to supporting students and getting them connected with research!

Joe is very connected with what it's like to be a student and provided a ton of extra resources for us about grad school and the topics we discuss. Tests and assignments were exactly as described and the final was open note. He was forgiving about due dates and a kind grader. The lectures were long but they were very easy to understand.

yJoe is great, always in a good mood and so understanding. I would absolutely take this class again, he promised everyone in the class an A or a B if they even just showed up. 10/10 definitely recommend even if you don't like cognitive psych

Joe is a genuinely great guy who is really passionate and knowledgeable about what he teaches. He's also super flexible with deadlines (of which there aren't many) and really cares about his students and their well-being. By far the best choice for cog psych.

Joe is a great professor. He doesn't make his class unnecessarily hard like some professor do and he does his best to explain topics and keep students engaged. He is really funny and more than willing to help students and answer any questions. If you're looking for an interesting psych class to take and want an easy grade definitely take his class.
