Both knowledgeable & bipartisan, he teaches the class like no other. His tests are essay but if you take decent notes & briefly study them you'll do just fine. You'll walk away from this class not only with a better understanding of politics, but of personal economics & the tools you need to better your financial situation as well.
Very good teacher. Class time is pure note taking, his lectures do tend to be long but it is all useful information. His tests are all essays, but if you take decent notes and listen to the advice he gives you, then you will do well in his class. One of my favorite teachers. Very straight foward, I love that about his class.
Dr. White is really great! Attendance is not mandatory, but you will need to be there to get notes. Lectures are pretty easy to follow as long as you are a good note taker. Tests follow notes exactly except for 10% of it, which is text book. He gives extra credit on tests. Easy to make an 'A'. Tries to be funny, not always successful.
I took Mr White for history 1. Eventhough i HATE history i must say that he is a great teacher. He is very helpful and will explain the material in an easy way for you to understand it. About 90% of his tests are from his lectures which is why you will have to take notes. There are 3 tests, including the final. Inever got the book, but I got an B.
Must take notes in order to pass this class. Most test questions come directly from lecture notes 10% of questions come from book and then theres the bonus question that you get to research before the test. Gives great alternative views of history.
Dr. White is great for this course because he is very clear in what he teaches. His lectures are interesting. take a lot of notes but the tests are semi-difficult.YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM.
Very good teacher. He explains everything in depth but keeps it interesting at the same time. If you pay attention in class and study even the day before the test youll do fine.
You just have to take good notes. His exams are easy!
I guess the reason no one has rated him is because there's nothing to rate about him. He is about as average a teacher as there can be. Do your work and you would do fine.
Notes are a must to get an A in his class, just review before the test. He provides a bonus essay question that you can research before each test. He is to the point, and his classes usually end early. Attendance is not mandatory for his class. His grading system is entirely test based.
Keeps attention. Attendance and notes a must. Lets out early 99% of the time. Grade based on tests. Best govt teacher i've had by far. Highly recommend!!
His lectures are okay sometimes put you to sleep but u have to stay awake and take good notes. He tend to stay on subject and he never talks about facts. His test grade comes from 10% book and 90% from notes. And a bonus essay which is 10 points on exam. I really recommend him easy professor.
Very easy class. Teaches only the bare minimum needed very clearly, tests 90% on lectures and 10% from textbook plus a 10% extra credit question on every test. Can get an A if you work hard enough even without the textbook.
He is a great teacher. All you have to do is come to class and take notes. There is no slide show, you must take good lecture notes. He speaks in a very understandable way, and does not jump around from topic to topic. Tests are straight from the lecture notes. didn't crack open the text book! Non-comprehensive final. EASY "A"! Left early everyday!
Superb Prof!! :) really knows what he's talking about and how to speak on the subject. Just take good notes in his class everyday. He got me really interested in history ; I even look up random stuff now just because of the way he talks about it! Great Prof. A+
Very easy to follow in lecture! i only made a B cause i didnt always go to class..ooops! test are about 95% from lecture. not so bad on the eyes! DONT GET BOOK!
Great teacher, clear, concise to the point. If you pay attetion & do study how he tells you during orientation you will do well
Good teacher. Everything comes from his lectures, therefore attendance is mandatory. Textbook is not required. Clear and simple. Looks a bit too serious but he has some humor. Recommended!
Dr. Benton White is the best. I Love him very much. He really knows how to teach... from SunShine, CR. Thank You!
Dr. White is very informative with his lectures. That is all that he does plus maps. You will have to have an arm of steel or a mind of a teenager that stays focused to really get all that you need. He is an awesome professor and you really learn something. If you want to challenge yourself that the mini like I just did Summer 2010. Study you must
clue in to "as a result", "the reasons for", "most important", "all of the locations on the maps that he gives you" North, South, East and West and in between. Of course pay attention to names, wars and other events that take place. good luck
Best History Professor I've ever had. If you don't like taking notes, then don't take him, but then again, why are you in school if you don't like taking notes? 3 tests for the whole semester, and that's your grade so it isn't a handout, but take good notes and you're golden. Bonus questions on each exam worth 10 points!
best teacher by far. just take notes. review notes before next class. study about 40 mins for each test. and you will get an A+ no doubt.
I thought he was a great professor. His exams are basically all from his his lectures. You don't actually have to read the book to make a good grade on his exams, but you need to take good notes. You should go to every class so that way you won't miss anything he covers.
you will hardly use the book. all that really matters are his notes. its pretty simple if you go to class and listen. he frequently lets his class go early. most of the time class was over within 30-45 minutes. 3 tests. pretty easy. just try.
I took him for all of my history and government classes. He is an amazing professor and very passionate about the subject. 3 test including final a bonus questions worth up to 10 points for every test. Go to class, listen and write notes. If you do this you will pass the class, let's you make up exam- which are vocab words. SUPER EASY!!
This is the greatest teacher I have ever had in Government. You don't need the text book and he tells you everything you need, you just have to have great notes, plus he gives you a bonus question to answer by choice worth ten points..His text are m/c 50 questions. I took him for the mini holiday term and class always was let out early by 2 hours.
super easy. Just take notes and be there in class. You don't need the book at all. i made 102 on all 3 of my tests!
He is the best teacher ever!! You don't need the book, he gives you plenty of notes, just pay attention, the questions are m/c 50 with ten point bonus question. I took him for holiday mini and it wasn't hard at all.. pass his class with an B..How cool is that!!!
Took his Holiday mini. I only came to class maybe once if not twice a week and passed with an A. I read the chapters because I enjoyed the subject but it is not needed. tests are all m/c, 50 q's & a 10pt bonus essay. He let us out early every day. Wish all my classes were this easy!
Dr.White is great! he's really cool dude. The test is direct quotes from him so you HAVE to go to class. he usually lets you out early. He says his stuff and then doesnt waste anytime and lets you go. There are 3 test nothing else. Straight forward pretty simple test. You can use the book for help but you dont need to really.
Great Class! Easy, take notes, then take test! One time i had a right answer a the scantron mark as wrong, and he fix it. He is super nice!! Do not get the book, only 10% of his tests are from the book.
Class is super easy. Take Notes. No book needed at all. Gives bonus question each test and worth up to 10 points. Class isn't held for the whole class period. M/C test w/scantron. Three tests only. Cool teacher. Passed with a C because I had five in all and didn't study as much. Recommend him to all students. Four pages max for notes to study test.
He writes his own tests which are over what he talks about in lecture. Three test (multiple-choice questions), no final. You can score ten extra points on each test with a bonus question he offers. Your overall grade is basically up to you. Show up and pay attention in class, take notes and review them prior to test date and you'll pass his class.
No book needed. Three test. Bonus question for each test. No final exam. Advise you to take notes during lecture. He doesn't drag classes out. Once he covers what he wants to talk about that day then he dismisses you. Some days he'll lecture for 15 minutes while other days he lectures for no more then an hour, if that.
Attend class to take notes!!! No book needed!!!!
He is a great teacher. Enjoys his lessons and test are great also. Have to attend class. Test are strictly over notes and no textbook needed!!
This guy is awesome. I had him last semester and he taught me so much. This is not anything like the Government that you took in HS. He explains how it is right now, and although some of it is depressing it is the truth. He doesn't sugar coat anything and tells it how it is. Show up to his class, take notes, review notes and you pass. A legit prof.
Love this Professor! He lectures the whole time he has you in class, but is a really interesting lecture-person & draws all over the board. Lets you out of class early almost every class, allows laptops, extra cred on the medium-hardish (sometimes) tests; only 3 grades over the sem, but take good notes & review before the test and you're fine :)
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!!! you can tell he really loves history, and really knows his stuff. All you have to do is come to class and take good notes. If you love history or just need to take it, for me it was both. BUT TAKE IT WITH THE PROFESSOR I LOVE DR. WHITE!!!
Professor White explains concepts with witty examples and jokes. Class is never over 50 minutes. Textbook use isn't required unless you want to read the book. His final isn't comprehensive. Easy class!
Dr. White is an incredible teacher. He is engaging, witty and so informative. I took the 3 week mini class & looked forward to class every day. No book required but there are about 10% of test questions out of the book - you can go read it in the library. Take notes & pay attention - get an A!
Seriously one of the best professors that i have ever had! You actually learn but it's very easy to listen. His test are based off of the lectures but are very easy! Never studied at all and only attended class and got a good grade. Love! Do take.
I really liked his class. You do not need the book at all, he will tell you this. If you take good notes you will pass. He doesn't write things on the board often, but listen carefully and you should be okay. He hates blackboard and I would be surprised if he ever uses it.
Best teacher ever! He really makes you understand and interested. I took him for govt and history and I've learned so much about the real world that the books don't touch. take good notes and study for the tests and your gonna get an A or B
At 7:30 in the morning, this professor looks very passionate. I wanted to fall asleep but the lectures he gave were very interesting and he is very calm about everything. His notes are the tests and he goes moderately fast. They are concise and to the point and so his lectures end pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend this professor.
Took him in the summer (5 weeks) and he's pretty easy. Multiple choice test (~50 problems) with 1 essay which is super easy for up to 10 points on the test. Ended up with an A and I kept drifting in and out of sleep. TAKE NOTES though, it helps a LOT and just go to review sessions. Helped me with at least 2-5 problems.
The semester has not even ended but he is great! Attendance is not mandatory but if you want to do good you have to tke good notes and i would recommend recording the lectures, that way there is no way you can fail! He is amazing at what he does and i guarantee you will learn something! I also have him for government!
The semester has not even ended but he is great! Attendance is not mandatory but if you want to do good you have to tke good notes and i would recommend recording the lectures, that way there is no way you can fail! He is amazing at what he does and i guarantee you will learn something! (posting this twice because i have him for two classes.)
He's ok if you like lectures. Very dry and doesn't speak too loud. Nice and helpful professor,but the class is all note taking. Depending on how well you take notes will determine how well you do on the tests. Only need textbook if you want to do the bonus questions or want to refresh your memory.
Dr. White is my favorite professor to date. He is thorough and clear with his lectures. Yes, you need to take notes but he does permit recording devices in the event he is speaking too quickly. Exams are very easy. Do not buy the text, never opened it once. He offers a 10-point bonus question for each exam & gives it to you day one.
Dr. White is a very good instructor. You will have to have a good study strategy to pass his tests and I recommend you bring an audio recorder since he will only talk about all the details to the subject but if you take upon a good study strategy with good notes you'll be fine. Tests are multiple choice and he gives extra credit to each test.
You just need to know how to take good notes and study them! He gives extra credit questions on the 1st day which you submit on each exam day which can be worth upto 10 points! He's great, simple and to the point. Easy A!
AMAZING professor!! He obviously loves History! I dropped another professor in Govt so I can take Dr. White. Lectures are interesting - even if you have ZERO interest in History! I'm looking forward to the GOVT class. He is helpful if you ASK. Read the book if you want an A. EXCELLENT professor. STRONGLY recommend. Take notes, read, A+.
He is a great professor! He will answer any question you have. He gives 4 exams and that's all. You have to show up to get a grade because he doesn't use blackboard. But he's nice and entertaining. You have to be there because he doesn't let you know what he talked about the class before. I'm trying to take him again for Govt. 2306! He's awesome!
He got off track, and his tests were confusing. he said textbook was optional, but required for deepeer understanding, but there was maybe one question per test off the book, and the assigned chapters did not correlate with classwork. a decent teacher overall, but very unfocused.
Very easy! Just show up and take notes. Test comes straight from lectures. Don't bother with the book, it won't affect your grade but a few points. Had my appendix removed and still made a 100 on the test.
Amazing Profesor, he's the best teaching GOVT 2305, to make a 100 on his class you have to the extra credit, read the book with the assigned chapters and just take notes. If you don't follow these steps then the possibility of a A is gone. I made a 100 because of these three steps that I followed. He's funny and a very chill guy to talk.
HIGHLY recommend Dr. White. He explains (repeatedly) how his class is structured, so I'm not sure why the person below had a negative comment? The tests are exactly his lectures - no surprises and he will tell you that some of the exam questions are from the book. If you take notes, you will get an A!
MR. WHITE IS A COOL GUY. THE CLASS IS 90% LECTURE AND 10% TEXTBOOK. IF YOU REALLY WANT AN A YOU NEED TO BE AN AWESOME NOTE TAKER. HE IS VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. HE ALSO DO A REVIEW SESSION THAT'S OPTIONAL. TOOK HIM FOR A 5 WEEK THIS PAST SUMMER...LOVE IT!!!!
The easiest class you will ever take!! 2 exams and 1 final, not cumulative. No textbook required, but attendance is important as his exams are solely based on his lectures. He is a very nice man. SUCH an easy class!! Take Mr. White!!
Truly the Best professor for GOVT2036. All test are based on Notes and his class format is lecture. If you take good notes and record his lecture you will make a A on every Test. Reading the book helps,and improves your chances of making a perfect score of 100. I made a 100. He's funny and a chill professor to have, if you are planning to take GOVT
Best Professor I have ever had, very easy just go in take notes and an easy A. Just wish he taught more classes than just government and history.
Best professor ever! I've never been interested in History but he completely changed that by the way he gives his lectures. Textbook isn't necessary, just come to all of his lectures and pay attention and take notes.
I don't recommend. You will have to write down everything he says or bring a recorder. The notes you take will be your review for the test. Book not required, 10 pts bonus essay for every test.
Got a A real easy just go in take notes everyday. If you dont want to take notes and study then you will fail! Simple! Class flies by extremely quick, No book needed, use your phone to record the lecture then go home and write down the important stuff and memorize it, because it will be on the test even the little things. Good Luck.
No textbook required, all you have to do is go to class & take general notes. We almost ALWAYS got out early and he makes history really interesting. I highly recommend if you're willing to go to class, and I never even studied. He doesn't test over specific dates and no HW. He's nice and doesn't have any pet peeves. Easiest A ever.
Great teacher! Love love love his teaching!
I don't normally comment about professors but professor White deserves one. He genuinely cares about government and is great at teaching it. Attending class is absolutely necessary because he never uses black board. His class is all lecture so you don't need a textbook. Take good notes and you'll for sure make an A.
Take good notes, record lecture to fill in any blanks you have later. Thats it. No book No homework No projects! Study your notes and youll do fine. Ive taken him for gov and hist. Hes also very helpful, feel free to ask him questions. Passed both with an A
No textbook, no projects or anything else! Just three tests! All you need to do is show up and take good notes. He has review days right before a test and he will answer any questions you have. He's an awesome teacher! You should definitely take him!!
Professor White is by far the best professor I've ever had. Very clear on what is expected for the exams. Final is not cumulative. Record his lectures, go to class and pay attention.. THAT SIMPLE! He is willing to stop and help anytime you might not fully understand something. I wasn't interested in Government at all before taking his class.
Loved his class!! Take good notes, record lecture to fill in any blanks you missed and attend class.
He is an inspiring professor! Took him for a 3 wk mini and loved listening to him. He speaks the TRUTH, unlike many of the professors you see today. Definitely take fast notes, or record the lectures, all tests come directly from what he says. Overall great experience!
3 week mini!! Professor White is the man. HE speaks the truth unlike every govt teacher I've ever had. TAKE NOTES!TESTS ALL NOTE BASED! KIND OF QUICK PACES, NOT IMPOSSOBLE. IS DO-ABLE! GIVES EXTRA CREDIT FOR TESTS REALLY HELPED ALOT BRING MY GRADE TO AN A!!MADE UP FOR NOT READING ALL THE CHAPTERS! sorry for all caps but cant stress him enough!! :)
TAKE HIS 3 WEEK MINI!! You don't need the book, he offers extra credit on all tests, SUPER EASY A unless you don't take notes. I read that someone was offended by his opinions?? He isn't offensive at all. Very eye-opening and I loved listening to his lectures. TAKE THIS CLASS! :) I dropped my spring govt and am glad I made this switch.
Don't recommend to take this professor. He is so rude and mark you ABSENT for three minute late. NO NOTE NO POWERPOINT, Review is whatever he talk in class.
It is lecture and you have to write what he says but its easier to record incase you miss something he said. His test are very easy and he even gives you an essay question that could give you up 10pts. He always gives the essay question a few days before the tests so there are no surprises. Take him if you can. Great Professor!
I really enjoy taking his class. It is very easy, but beneficial because I really learned a great deal about Government. Note-taking is required, Book not required.
I so wish Professor White taught gov't 2306 because I would take him again in a heart beat! He is an awesome professor. Your semester grade reflects on only four exams so there is almost no room to mess up. MUST BE A GOOD NOTE TAKER. His tests are straight from his lectures!! There are no power points, reviews, or outlines. A wonderful teacher!
Took him for American Gov and if you take notes in class, or even just listen to his lectures, you will at least make a B on all of the tests. He is very passionate about what he teaches, so paying attention is not that hard to do. There are only 4 tests that count as your grade, but if you show up to class, you will pass. I would take him again!!!
I liked this class. He is very truthful about what he talks about and he gives his own opinions. He let us out early every time which was great and I enjoy writing notes so this class was a piece of cake. I did not use the text book. He is a good teacher! Would take again!
Took the 3 week mini, easiest credit ever! Just take notes and listen to his lectures and you'll do great on the test. Every test has extra credit opportunities. He let every class out early. Don't need the textbook at all. Would take him again for sure!
Loved his class doesn't require book for class . Just finished a 3 week mini took many notes and yet passed my class with a 100. How awesome i made 401400 possible points. Take his class won't regret it hope he has another mini class in May :)
Took federal government in the 3 week mini and don't regret it at all. Attendance is required required if you want to do well, but the textbook is not. Extra credit credit on every exam and even had q and a each test.
I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! BEST GOVT CLASS EVER!!! His lectures are the best thing ever and test are super amazing! LOVE him!!!
Best government teacher!! Doesn't teach nor sound like a wannabe politician, tells you what the youth really needs to know about our government. I wish he taught texas government too. I hated this subject in high school but after his class I love it. Thank you mr white!
he's a good teacher you just have to take notes and listen or you'll for sure be lost. the textbook is not mandatory and he gives review sessions the class before the test for anybody that shows up
I wish prof. White teaches Texas Government. I love him so much. Come to class, he does not teach like any other professor. His lectures are like hearing a great story from history but not be be bored out of mind. If you're not a good note-taker, then borrow it from your neighbor. I pass easily with an A.
you have to take notes in this class no doubt they will be on the test i recommend to record them just in case you miss anything because he doesn't write everything in the board. He says the getting book isn't necessary but it kinda is because some material will be on the test he didn't cover he makes the class fun take his class!
Took him during the mini. Didn't do as well as I would have liked. He's not my cup of tea. Have to be a good note taker and in order to do that you have to be there. He usually lets class out early. His lectures were interesting for the most part. Gave 1 extra credit assignment.
I took his government 2306 class and it was quite easy to understand. attendance is not mandatory, but his lectures contain all the information for the test. Show up, take good notes and you will get an easy A.
Took him for 2305-06 & while he will not prepare you much for a legitimate government debate - he will provide insight on the other side of government. He can be both funny and boring. Record the lectures -because writing notes will not cover everything. He can change a single word from "most" to "all" on exam & that will make u miss the question.
Great class to boost Gpa. Studied notes for an hour and got A's. Gotta got to attend all classes to take notes. He only tests on what he says in lectures (no need for book). If your not a good note take then you should sit at the front and take notes. If you miss a class you miss a portion of the test. Class ends early. Easy A.
Took Professor White for Texas Government and passed with an A, really easy class. His tests are done over his lectures so you have to show up to class if you want to pass, but his lectures aren't long and they're easy to listen to. He's a cool professor and I would recommend his class.
Show up, pay attention, take good notes, and you will pass. Took him for the 5 week mini and it was an easy class. The book isn't really needed in order to pass the class because he gives an assignment that if done will add 10 pts to your overall grade.
Wont regret taking his class. I took him for both my government classes he is awesome.
This class is better suited the the worldly experienced. Personal views are grossly overstated in class
I took Dr. White for a winter mini. He gave a review the class day prior to the test for those who needed it. Exams were lecture based and very simple if you came to class (his lectures are not on a PowerPoint so attendance is mandatory) and took notes. Extra credit was also given. He cracks some corny jokes from time to time. Would take him again!
Take this class if you don't have much time outside. Theres no homework or project. His test consist of mostly lectures and maybe 10% of the textbook which you don't really need in order to make an A in his class. He allows you to record his lecture, all the test questions are simply and straight forward out of the lecture.
Benton whites class was amazing! Show up to every class, pay attention to his lectures, take good notes, study them, &you're set for an A! His lecturers are very interesting as well, he knows his stuff and it is clear he loves what he does! Always available for questions/ concerns, never holds you longer than needed. definetly taking him for 2306!
Dr. White provides an exceptional experience to a US Government class. He ties together the past through present eras without missing a beat, making a lively presentation. He is fast-paced, but the material in his lectures is refreshingly logical, forming a lasting impression. You will enjoy his class!
his lectures are great and he is pretty up to date and relates to it. if you miss a class you miss a while section of notes, he doesn't do anything on blackboard so there is no way to catch up or even study. he is great just make sure you pay attention to everything he says and study, he puts extra important stuff on the board.
I took him for the Summer 2016 session Pros: no real need for textbook, extra credit, can record lecture, non-cumulative final, MC tests, review sessions before, classes only as long as it takes for him to discuss one or two topics, quick grading, super easy common core assignment Cons: lecture heavy, no PPTs, handwritten notes only
Simply marvelous
You do need to be in class to pass since the text book only covers 10% of the material in the 4 tests he has. the nice thing is that there are only 4 tests and that is it but it's also a bad thing as well. The core assenment he said is a joke
He is a great professor, he makes learning about the government interesting. I recommend any students who need to take federal government to take his class. He is a great lecturer. My best advice would be to show up , listen attentively, take notes and you will definitely receive an A.
Dr. White is a very good professor. You can tell he knows what he's talking about and that he is very knowledgeable on the subject. His classes are all lecture, and the test are basically all from his lectures as well, so take very good notes! He's a pretty chill and laid back teacher as well. There's no worries, if you pay attention in class!
Pretty straight forward dude, pay attention and you'll ace the exams.
Take this professor. You won't regret it.
I love this kind of instructors because in his class, you only have to be worried about your exams grades to get the "A". Nothing to do in this class except to take great notes and study them for the exams and you'll smoothly get the A. Enjoyed him.
Dr. White is a great professor, he is really down to earth and makes you think deeply. Amazing interesting lectures, and tests are straightforward and clear if you pay attention to the lectures. Go to class, take notes, study notes, and you'll be good to pass the class. By far my favorite professor due to the topics of his lectures.
Dr. White is a great teacher. His tests are 95% from his lectures which usually last about an hour. He's very easy to listen to and makes all the content interesting. Would definitely take another class from him!
Great Professor. Gives you a chance to turn in a paper at the end of semester for extra credit towards final grade.
HE IS SO AWSOME!!!!! He is a very laid back guy!! His lectures are very concise. He is seriously the best and his lectures are so easy and his test are literally from his lectures. EASY A!!! I would take him again.
If you are not good in taking notes DO NOT take his class because all you have to do is take notes will he is giving lecture. No book needed and 4 exams each exam is 25%. No assignment just 4 exams. If you miss even one class it will hard to pass the class.
Mr. White is super laid back; only 4 tests and you can turn in any paper for extra credit at the end of the class. He makes it very clear that as long as you take good notes, you will do fine. 90% of tests come from your notes so textbook is not needed. His lectures are short and easy to follow but also super interesting. Highly recommend!! Easy A.
Dr. White is AWESOME! Show up, take good notes, you'll pass easily. Book isn't needed. Your notes are your study guide for his exams. He is a super laid back guy. He says what he has to say and then class is dismissed. Not once stayed the entire class time. He makes government interesting. Great teacher.
Took Prof White for the fall 2017. Great lectures. 4 tests that are 90% from the lectures and 10% based on the book. Easy 10 points on the Gen Ed paper. Take notes or record the lectures and you will have everything you need for the tests.
AMAZING PROFESSOR/CLASS. I wish I could take him for other classes but it appears he doesn't teach that many. SUPER EASY A. Just pay attention, participate, and take notes and you're good to go. 4 grades- 4 exams. Very understanding teacher, too.
Hes low key funny. I really enjoy his class. If your a visual learner DO NOT TAKE HIM. His class is all lecture and all he does is talk. You need to be good at taking your own notes. Otherwise, you dont get homework and you only get tested 4Xs. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
The first class I've ever looked forward to attending.
Dr. White is a great professor. His curriculum? 3 tests, one common assignment & one final (non-cumulative). No HW or projects. Tests are from the notes so don't miss any class. Take plenty of notes, and if you have any probs, ask questions in the review session. Also, the tests are pretty easy. Show dedication and you'll ace the class.
Good professor. Just listen to what he talks about in class an review notes and you'll pass.
He is a fun prof. test is literally from the notes he gives so, do not miss any class because as soon as he is done with a chapter the next class is the test day. Easy A if you have the notes.
Dr. White is an amazing professor. I would definitely take his class again if i could. Make sure you show up and take notes, that's all you need to pass. He doesn't give any homework or projects, so that's a plus. He's just great all around.
Great Professor, you can tell the passion he puts into his lectures. YOU HAVE TO TAKE GOOD NOTES. Every class is lecture, no sheets, no hw, no anything! If you are not good at taking notes I would not recommend. He stays behind class for questions and has reviews before his exams. He has 4 exams in total and a signature assignment all worth 20%.
Dr. White is one of the best professors I have ever taken. He has amazing lectures that cover the test material perfectly and leave no room for misunderstanding or gaps. His lectures don't feel like lectures, it feels more like hanging out with your cool grandpa and listening to his wisdom.
Prof White only lectures, so prepare to write down good notes. thats the only way you can pass his class. Dont worry though, his extra credit will boost an entire grade letter and its SUPER EASY! Also, his lectures are quite interesting and the way he carries the class is real chill. Study your notes, and thats an easy A. Always released us early.
(Fed govt summer class) He is the brightest, most fascinating professor I have ever taken. Highly recommended for people who just want to pass, highly recommended for people who want to grow from learning.
I really enjoyed this professor he only has 4 grades all year which are test that are 25% of your grade each. He allows you to turn in a common assignment that adds 10points to your average and he doesnt even grade it he has no reviews so pay station in class I record everything he never lets class go past 45mins bc says no one learns after that
This teacher it's great at teaching, all his lectures are not boring at all. He is inspirational and you can record them too. Listen to them repeatedly and his exams will become easy to take. I recommend him, also tells you not to buy the book because you don't need it.
HES GREAT ! Only had 4 tests the whole semester and the common assignment was extra credit and he didnt care abt it really. I learned a lot from him lol You just really need to take notes to what he says and go over them a day before the exam and youll be good.
He does not post anything on Blackboard, such as notes or reviews, so if you skip class, then you really won't pass. He doesn't give you a review himself, but each class day before the exam is a review session, so you can ask him any question about the exam during those class days. As long as you show up and take notes, you'll pass.
Legit the most easiest class ever. I took him just so I could get my credit and go and let me tell you he did not disappoint. Since we were in quarantine the rest of the semester he basically gave up on teaching us and we just wrote 2 essays on the virus for a grade. Easiest A Ive ever gotten in my life
I took this class online due to Covid, but he didnt show up to class most of the time. When he did he was on for about 30 minutes max. 3 test grades,NO final NO homework and extra credit up to 20 points ( C to an A) An easy A if you do the work which is READ the textbook for the tests
He has not adapted to the online learning at all. He has no course work, only three exams, no final exam, and optional extra credit. His lectures are maximum 30 minutes and I have not learned a lot from them.
Very fun and enthusiastic
Professor White has not gotten the hang of online classes. He waits until the very last minute to grade everything and didn't even come up with the exams. There were 3 exams and all from the book. He wouldn't lecture on the book, just random things related to government.
