By far the worst, and most intimidating teacher ever! He constantly picks on the students in class, belittles them, and embarrasses them. His method of teaching isn't for those who are quiet and reserved.
He makes students feel as if they matter and aren't just one of many. He is friendly and always says hi to every student he sees and talks to them. As for his teaching- it is not the best. The textbook is RARELY used. Instead, the class consists of many heated debates amongst students. If you take this class be willing to be educated by opinions!
He is a really nice man. In class-- He is a bit awkward. His grading isn't consistent. If you are respectful and try, he will notice though. There is no reason for anyone to not make an A or B in this class. He is willing to help you, if you participate in class and show up regularly. He is generally not as bad as people say.
This is by far the worst professor I have had at Collin. His grading is inconsistend he cant even figure out what your grade is when you ask him he will always give a 10 point range. He picks favorites and if you arent one of them you are screwed. DONT TAKE HIM!!!!
This teacher is the worst. He doesnt lecture he lets the class debate the whole time. He has his favorites and his grading is all over the place. It was his first year teaching at Collin and I hope his last. Stay away from this professor
Dr. White's test are easy. lecture on the other hand is all about current events. If you read the textbook, and do the review you will do fine. If you do read the book, you will find that Dr. White didn't!! He is a different professor, he will ask for your home phone, and email. One student actually got a phone call from Dr.White!

Great guy, Horrible teacher. He is probably one of the nicest professors I've met at Collin, however his grading is a bit off. He grades pretty harshly on things out of your control most of the time (group projects). His instructions on projects aren't always crystal clear either. I made an 85-95 on all tests, and still wound up making a C.
If you read the textbook and do the test reviews, you should be fine. It's hard to understand him on tests sometimes, because he adds a lot of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs into his sentences, and it's hard to get what he's asking for. His grading is weird. He gave me an F on a paper because I forgot to include my email address. But he's nice.
He plays favorites, he adds things on the test not previously covered in class or the book, he never keeps his word, everything is always "the notion of the idea of..." rather than the topic itself, he likes to bring up a topic and sit back to watch the verbal carnage from heated debates and arguments, and his whole concept of grading is messed up!
Laid back professor, does not follow traditional teaching methods, and gets you to think in reality, and not just read the text book. Likes to debate about current events!
OK, here's the deal, Very nice man. Really makes a point to know you and listen to you(most prof. don't care). You do use the textbook, but you also have to use your knowledge about whats going on in the world around you. He really tries to spark your interest in politics. Sometimes you don't even know that's what he's doing. Great professor!
I thought he was awesome
Dr. White is an awesome teacher. I took him for both Government classes. He has a different way of teaching. Focusing maingly on current events. If you talk in his class he will love you. You don't need a book. Do the assignments and reviews for test and its an easy A. He is awesome!
He picks favorites and everyone else in the class is in trouble. If you have different political views than him you probably wont pass. Instead of teaching to the book he pits people against each other in arguments that have little or no relevance. Don't take him if you have opinions that you like to vocalize.
The worst professor I've ever taken. He never helps you. Extremely detailed tests. Loves you to talk or YOU WILL FAIL...
Very interesting class. Ran VERY differently than any other class I have been in. Material out of the book is lightly and briskly covered but current events are the big topics of the class. White is a different man for sure but as long as you contribute to class discussion and do what he specifies in the assignment you should pass with an A.
Nice guy. Textbook isn't used much, and the lecture is usually following the powerpoints that came with the book, which are somewhat low quality. Test study guides are a little vague. Large portions of the class are devoted to discussing current events, and if you're quiet, he'll notice. Sometimes goes beyond debate to students outright arguing.
GREAT GOV. TEACHER!!! GREAT CLASS!!! TWO ASSINMENTS THE WHOLE SEMESTER. A MUST TAKE
Teaches unlike any other prof. I've ever had. The book is only used when you look up things for the reviews. His mission is to make college age people realize that government REALLY does affect their daily lives. Awesome teacher. I'm definitely taking him for my other govt credit. Projects very simple and straightforward. Not your typical drone!
Its a habit to attend 5-10 minutes late every class, also was 30 minutes late to the FINAL ON EXAM DAY. Teacher is not helpful at all, is not clear on what he wants, also you spend discussing issues in the class such as the IPAD. Topics not related to Government
He was totally different from GOVT 2301. His reviews are extremely vague and they cover chapters that were never discussed in class. Doesn't use the book at all, except for review. Mainly discussions/debates that turn into arguments. Very few assigments. Very frustrating at times.
This class is different! He loves to see students contribute to class discussions and he likes to put government in a relevant, current perspective. There are few assignments but the outlined directions are CRITICAL to your grade. If you can stick to them you will be fine. It is important to not just be a body in the room, be engaged in discussion!
Dr. White is awesome! I had my doubts at first...but he grew on me. He is funny, clear, and knowss his stuff. Nothing really everrr comes from the book. he bases lectures off "today".and thats whats really on tests. besides...he gives a study guide. honesly, show up just to go. you wont regret it! I actually asked him if he teaches history! no :(
Professor White was an eccentric teacher He rarely uses the text book, and when he did, it was only reference during a classroom discussion. He strongly encourages classroom participation, and will force everybody to talk. There were only 3 tests, and 2 projects. Other than that, there were know assignments. He actually cares about his students
I would highly recommend this professor, but only if you're willing to participate. He really wants to hear what you think and is respectful of differing opinions. The exams are easy, but you can't just know the definition of the words on the review, you have to know the mechanics behind them. Take advantage of extra credit, participate, and study.
He's a cool guy, pretty serious early on but he tends to loosen up a little in time. His mannerisms are fantastic, and he really wants student input. Tests are easy, only a couple assignments, taking notes in class helps. He likes to follow up on students and really just wants you to succeed, in his class and in life.
He is such a GREAT teacher! He is super fun and easy! He LOVES saying "CLASS" in two days he sad it 407 times.. I hated the idea of taking government but I really enjoyed it!
Great prof! Likes you to get involved on current issues and notices if your quiet! Likes to hear other opinions and is there if you need help! Easy prof, gives reviews on what tests are over! I recommend him!
GREAT PROFESSOR! Highly recommend his class. At first he seems very intimadating but then he shows his fun side. Cares a lot about his students and goes the extra mile to express Govnt & politics. I'm cant wait to take his class again for 2302!
Don't take this class if you are majoring in government. Now, don't get me wrong, Dr. White is a nice guy. We would only discuss current events and there's always that one person in class who thinks she knows everything & won't shut her mouth! Mostly he grades off of tests. He makes the tests himself so a lot of the wording is very confusing.
Dr. White is interested in his class knowing what's going on in local, federal, and state government, hence the current events. It's important to him that everyone understands that there are two sides to everything. He really cares about his students being informed on the ISSUES. And is very helpful. I'd recommend his class.
His directions are not very clear. He mainly talks about current events. You do not really have to read the book, but beware he might make you do a project on it. He grades mostly off his tests.
Prof White is an alright guy. Took him for maymester and the class was actually pretty fun. We did talk alot about current events but his assignments were beneficial to students and looks out for their interests as well. I'd Recommend him for Govt. No book is really needed.
I took him this summer and thought he was AWESOME, u hav 2tests nd 1 paper that is worth 40% of ur grade. Make sure you read the directions on that paper because u can easily get 50points deducted And he does have favorites, so if ur the type of person that dont like to speak in class u probably will not want to take his class. But overall he is ni
Dr. White was absolutely useless as a teacher. He never made it clear what he wanted and has no sympathy for people being late. He knows nothing of govt, or at least doesnt teach anything close. I learned nothing in this class because he didnt teach anything of worth. Get another prof if u can unless you dont care to actually learn anything.
Dr. White is great! He is really nice and helpful. I personally learned a lot about government in his class, not to mention his scholarship assignment landed me with a $750 scholarship! :D Gives test reviews, not too much homework, likes when you participate in class.
Dr White is a great government professor. He is very involved in current events and teachers off of slide that are from the book required for class. He wants participation. That is government. All the bad ratings must be from people who didn?t get a good grade because they sat quietly while he asked for opinions and discussion.
Horrible teacher. I'm getting an A and I hate this class. Vague reviews and instructions on assignments. DO NOT MISS A CLASS. Make sure you talk or he will belittle and embarrass you. Seems to search for heated debates and student arguments, not discussions. Rarely uses the book and then tests over things never discussed in class.
Awful experience, and I got an A. Tests over things not covered in class. Vague instructions. Will give you an F for using the wrong font, non-negotiable. Encourages heated and not necessarily friendly "debates" and laughs while doing so. Will belittle and embarrass shy people. Do NOT miss a class or you will be lost. Likes hot button topics.
This was an ABSOLUTELY AWFUL experience. The person below me was absolutely correct. This class was a complete joke. He teaches you nothing, and is absolutely disrespectful. His tests will have things not covered or on the study guide. He doesn't have a grading rubric for his assignments, he just grades on how he feels. AWFUL CLASS. AWFUL TEACHER.
Yeah Dr. White's class is great if you need to take Government and need to get an A. Can't exactly say what we learned from his class. Not organized. Encourages class to ask questions yet 75% of the time he doesn't answer them. His tests are excruciating and littered with material we never covered. I had a lot of fun with the group projects though.
Walking down the hall I heard someone say that they need to take Govt. Me and 3 others said at same time, "Take Prof White!" Great teacher. While I was there. I wondered, "What am I learning?" But I learned a lot.It was great. Classic line, "Class. Listen to him/her class." You write a scholarship essay for a purpose. It benefits YOU. Take WHITE!
I enjoyed Dr White's last semester and am now taking another. He uses current events to teach Government topics from the book. Emphasizes on asking questions and thinking for your self. We didn't use the book much, but the book is very dry. Thorough review of each test ensures a passing grade if you study it.
if you can, take him during the summer sessions.. he gives you an actual copy of the test to memorize. one of the questions was "Do cows sleep standing up" you learn a decent amount but its seriously the most easy A you can get.
Excellent professor... definitely wants you to stay updated on current events and wants you to actively participate in class. He really does care about his students and is very interested in learning about who they are. As long as you show up, takes notes, do the assignments and STUDY you should be fine!!
Took this Prof twice, got 2 A's. Dr. White helped spark my interest in federal litigation. Class is focused on how politics affect our lives. Projects require active research on current state and federal races. Very relevant. I was expecting a facts and figures government class but I got exciting discussions and a new view of other students.
Dr.white's class is always interesting! As long as you show up to class, participate, do the projects(like he specifies) and do the test reviews, you should pass the class! He likes for everyone to speak out in class so if your shy don't take Dr.White! Great Class!
THIS WAS A GREAT CLASS. THE GROUP DISCUSSIONS WERE ON CURRENT EVENTS FROM THE NEWSPAPER. IT KEEPS YOU UP TO DATE ON ELECTIONS. THE GROUP PRESENTATION WAS THE BEST PART FOR ME. HE IS A GREAT TEACHER AND PASSIONATE ABOUT GOVERNMENT. I ALSO LEARNED A LOT ABOUT SCHOLARSHIPS. HE CARES ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HIS STUDENTS.
Dr. White is very helpful. I took him for two semesters and I got an A both semesters. Do the projects, study a little, and watch the news a little bit. Very nice and fun.
I took this course over the summer. He obviously was looking for a paycheck. I'm not sure if I should rejoice in the fact that I didn't do anything for an A, or be upset in the fact that I paid for a course and learned nothing. He's a nice guy, but I didn't learn a single thing.
Dr. White is really nice professor. He's smart and passionate about govt. He encourages his students to strive for the best and informs his students of the daily issues that are happening in our govt. I learned alot. I applied for scholarships. Dr. White taught me lots and lots of new things. I can only be honest.
Dr. White is very helpful and interesting. He makes references to the news paper and text book both. He likes talking about current events not just the history of government. I would recommend taking his class to anyone.
He always gives a test review which is very helpful. There are a few times he has given pop quizzes. He always brings in newspaper articles to read that are about current and interesting topics.
Dr. White is excited about teaching and helping students get the the most of their time in class. He rewards punctual attendance with early pop quiz's and provides reviews for tests. Lectures are interactive.
He is super great, take his class! You won't regret it!
Dr white he is a great teacher i have never had he is also an easy A take him. i got an A .
Dr. White seems to be very dedicated to his profession. He seems to push his own political views by focusing on more liberal slanting ideals and topics. He throws topics into his test reviews that were never discussed in class. I felt some of the answers to his test questions were subjective to his personal views.
I've honestly never hated a class so much in my life. I studied for the tests and never made above an 80%. Dr. White is a nice guy, but the assignments are ridiculous and I don't feel like I ever learned anything in his class. Find another teacher.
This guy is awesome. He is intimidating at first, but its just to show that he loves what he does. I was a shy girl in the back, everyone says talk but if he sees you are keeping eye contact with him, he considers that participation. Pay attention, he is really fun. Loved his class!! Text book required. Attendance required. Don't be late to class!!
Great Professor overall. Even if I was not a Political Science major I would have still enjoyed his course. Attendance is not mandatory, however it will help a lot if you do go to class. He has 2 assignments and 3 exams all semester, that includes the final. I recommend anyone take him if they need their hours.
All I can say is EXCELLENT.Dr. White is the best professor ever. Explains Extremely well, Interactive Dialogue with students is awesome. Fun, interesting, and he REALLY does care about the future of his student. Awesome. Collins is lucky to have such a great professor that knows his stuff! Take Dr. White!!!!
Dr. White is by far the best professor I have ever had. His class is great, he makes sure everyone participates and loves what he does. I never talked in his class but yet every time I see him around he comes up to me and asks how I'm doing and shakes my hand. He's a great example of how not only to be a professor but a human being.
TAKE IN SUMMER! Easiest A I have ever received. I studied vigorously for the first exam, and then he gives us a multiple choice review…which is identical to the exam itself. The one paper I had to write I made a 100, and it was a little disappointing because it felt like he didn't read them, but everyone in the class made an A as the final grade.
He wouldn't show up for scheduled meetings, and wouldn't put any work into class. It is a waste of time and money. Nothing is learned in this course. Tests consist of facts that are GOOGLED and sometimes you have the same facts he does and sometimes you don't. Studying is useless since you are tested off of random information not covered in class.
He is great, funny and exciting. Class was really easy. The hardest part was sitting threw the awful debates of other students that simply loved to hear themselves speak. He allowed the same students to talk the entire period every meeting. The amount of profanity that was allowed during debates was absolutely despicable.
Don't google his test reviews, he uses current news articles and the book. The people he talks about are prominent govt figures. If you show interest in him or his class he will return the favor. His class can be very boring but it can also be very interesting. Just put in hard work.
I would not suggest this professor. He seemed to mean well, but his class was all over the place. We mostly just discussed current events in class and barely anything about what we were going to be tested on (which was all text book stuff). He was literally so all over the place, I couldn't keep up. I dropped his class pretty fast.
Must be able to take notes during class. He loves for students to participate in the conversation. This is a sure way to get on his side. Be interactive. Take Copious notes. HE teaches through current newspaper articles and events. And then relates hem back to the course material. I took this class during the summer. Was an easy A.
At the beginning of this course I was extremely confused and had no clue what to expect on the test. I would highly recommend taking this class over summer 1, it was the easiest A. Professor white really appreciates the classes interaction. He does not post on black board,you can easily pass with an A without the textbook. Just take notes.
By far the best teacher at NEIU. Brian makes the class fun, interesting and is very helpful. He cares about his students success. I have taken English 101, 102 and am currently enrolled in his world fiction class this semester, really looking forward to it. If you need to fulfill your humanities requirement u highly recommend this class.
Great for an easy A. I attended the first 3 weeks and realized he doesn't teach things from the test. He does give out review sheets that are very thorough and makes it easy to get an A-B on the exams. I only showed up for exam days there after, all went well!
The tests reviews are modified now and have a better explanation on what he is asking for. Be prepared to read constantly on current events and text book you will need one for this class. There are a few tests and few assignments so there is not much room for error). Be prepared to speak a lot it will help your grade.
Dr. White is an amazing professor. He seems hard at first, but you learn his style quickly. He truly cares about his students success. Tests are hard, but participation in class and other assignments balance the grade. I took him for both U.S. and Texas government. He is by far my favorite teacher.
Do not expect help from this professor. If asked for clarification or help on major assignments, refers students to "fellow classmates". (as if they are the ones being paid to teach) I actually find government interesting, even so the tests and assignments are confusing. Political bias evident in teaching.
Don't take! He loves politics, but seems all over the place in class. Mostly talks about current events and random things (movies, documentaries, interviews). Very few assingments, no room for error. Reviews seeem disorganized and not straight from the notes. Test did not match up with material covered. If you like organization, dont take.
The second out of two assignments was a group project which isn't bad if you like groups. Tests are tough because most of the format is truefalse which is tricky and some things in the test were not covered in lecture or study guide. My class only took one quiz but others classes may have more. I really had to work for my A.
Absolutely amazing!! I had Dr. White for the summer and he's pretty laid back. He assigns us into groups and makes us write the reviews for the exams and he uses those reviews and basically writes Exam over it. I would definitely take this class again if I could.
He was my first professor in my college experience and he was such a good professor. He cared about what we wanted to know he was there to give us deep detail about the subject. I recommend his class, and him as a professor! awesome person!
Very off topic during lectures, and does little to elaborate on the topics you will be tested (lectures are a very basic outline of the book). Incredibly disorganized; attend every class, if he handed something out and you didn't get it, he prints no extra copies and posts very little online. Extra credit is sparse and often not on the calendar.
He is sharp. And wants the best for the class.
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER.!!! One of the worst teachers i have ever met. childish. Incredibly disorganized, never actually covers any of the material. gets mad if you wont participate, gets mad if you do participate and have your own opinion. Haven't learned anything. A student in all other classes. Incredibly disappointing. dropping this class.
He says you need the book etcetera but you do not. He goes over slides and tells you what to write down. He gives you review sheets and two classes to work on the, .Test are easy and if you talk in class and give feedback you will not fail. He added an extra 10 points to my 68 on a test because I spoke up during class. He is very clear and funny!
I took Professor White for Federal and Texas Government. Very easy to make an A. Gives very straightforward test reviews. Lets you grade your own test. Gives extra credit if you speak up in class, state your opinion on something, or if you ask to read your test review notes to the class. Very dry sense of humor, but actually a funny guy.
Great teacher! Not a tough grader. If your class cares, he will let you make test questions for all exams if the class participates. He likes to use quizlet so make one as a class. Coolest guy ever!!!!!
Dr. White is an awesome guy and a great professor. All you have to do is pay attention and get involved in his classes. Be excited about government and show a little enthusiasm and you'll get an A. Read your local news and be aware of current events
Dr. White's class was great! Lots of open discussion and debate to convince our classmates of alternate points of view. He values each unique perspective and voice regarding issues relevant to today. Not the most tech-saavy, but available before or after class or by VERY brief email. Take Dr. White for an interactive and informative gov class.
he is so awesome
he's lectures were boring mainly because of his dull voice. He was't very good at staying on topic.
I really enjoyed the learning environment. While we learned about textbook Texas Government, we also learned about the women who help shape Texas. This information was not found in our textbook. In addition he was passionate about teaching us things that would stay with us beyond our college years. Very caring, positive and encouraging instructor.
Dr. White really cares about what students think. He also loves the Dallas morning news so make sure you read everyday. He also has very easy assignments that basically help students to get a good score grade in his class. He also made gov really fun. I recommend taking him to learn and get a easy grade.
Take this class if you like class discussions. Sure we discussed Texas government and went through a power point each day, but the class talked more than the instructor. He values everyone's opinion and is very politically neutral. Take his class if you want a fun and friendly environment, and an outlet to express your opinions!
Great professor, class discussion is a must
Such a great person and professor! His tests are pretty easy if you study the review. He loves talking about current events and having class discussions. I took him for both Fed/ TX gov and loved both sections. He is actually really cool and a great person to interact with. Just show up, participate, and be interactive and you should do fine!
His tests are exactly the review it's super easy, however towards the end of the semester beware of his infamous pop quiz! It took mine and many others grade dow several points (23 to be exact, I was pissed) Just continue to go to class and you'll be fine.
just show up and be ready to participate!His test are just like the review!
I took Dr. White for Texas Government last summer and will be taking him again this summer for Federal Government. His class is just a participation grade, easy 100 as long as you do the scholarship essay and follow the guidelines! I highly recommend him as he really cares about giving you knowledge about government and scholarships for college!
Professor White was a joy to learn from. He made his grading criteria very clear and was open to altering grades if a compelling reason was given. He was extremely caring and wanted us to actually learn about government rather than practice rote memorization. Take his class; you won't regret it!
Professor White is amazing and seriously one of the best professors I've had. His class is super straightforward and easy. You don't need the textbook, and as long as you participate in class and comment on the current issues that are discussed, it's an easy A+. He gives reviews for the tests which are basically the exact same questions on the test
Don't buy the book, he does not use it. Death by power point. If you don't like talking in class, don't take this professor. He will call on you and single you out for being quiet. Takes roll at the end of the class.
Wonderful person, wants everyone to apply for scholarships and cares about his students a lot
Awesome guy! You never ever need your text book and the test he gives are word for word from the review. Easiest class I've taken and he really cares!
Dr. White is the best professor I have ever had. His class is easy to pass if you show up and participate. I would strongly recommend taking his class. He cares about government and keeps the class up to date on current issues. He is such a great person and I loved his class!!
lectures off of his notes. Asks the class for input daily. Will call on the quite students from time to time, to get their opinion on the topic (there is no wrong answer just what you think about a certain topic). Test review is a little unorganized but the test is pretty much right from the review. one group project and one written paper.
Almost all the grades in the class were from online quizzes with no due date for any of them. He goes over the quiz in class before you have to do it, so we virtually have all the answers. Other than that there are two easy projects, and he grades them easy. Very easy A. But All lessons are taught through power point. He is not the most exciting.
I took Dr. White for both my government classes. His class is the easiest A youll ever make. Attendance is not mandatory. Everything is online. 1 paper and 1 group project. Very easy grader. Goes over quizzes in class so you basically have all the answers before taking on your own. I went maybe once a week and got an A. Definitely a blow off class
Dr. White likes to hear everyone's input on the topic he's speaking about. Doesn't really stay on topic a lot, but keeps things interesting. Participate and speak in class and this will be an easy A. BE CAREFUL with missing class, quizzes were weighted extremely high and no retakes. Would've got an A+ had I not missed 1 quiz. Dropped grade 20 pts.
Fun class!! Easiest A ever. We had 3 pop quizzes. Midterm and Final taken in class, he went through it with us, easy 100. Only had one assignment which was to apply for a scholarship. However, you must attend class otherwise you will not have the notes you need for the Pop quizzes (which are weighted highly since there are not many assignments).
Super duper easy class. Without any exaggeration I can say that my brother in middle school can also get an A in this class. The HARDEST part of this class is waking up early in the morning. Honestly, if you don't get an A in the class, you truly need to reevaluate yourself.
Doctor White is a pretty cool guy. The textbook was online along with all the quizzes, midterm, and the final. The only things that were not online was a scholarship essay and a debate presentation.
easy A. quizzes are on your notes, mid term and final you do on the computer at home, and the only other grade is a scholarship you pick and write why you should receive. easy grader and class is power points and law/view point discussions.
EASY U don't have to show up to class, but I've attended all of them. like 3 pop quizzes on your notes, like 3-4 questions long, completion grade. Then there is a scholarship you apply for, and a debate you do(easy just pros and cons on your topic)Midterm was reviewed in class (he went over all the answers) pulled out my laptop and got a 100.
He was an awesome professor! 2 major assignments, 3 quizzes and 2 tests! All of them are easy A if you just attend the class!
Odd prof, used powerpoint (no book). Easy grader, but quizzes/exams are hard because there are only a few questions so its easy to lose points, and he got the quiz/exam questions off student's notes instead of powerpoint. Not clear with assignment directions. He will ask for your thoughts/opinions on a topic, especially if you are quiet in class
idk how he doesnt have 5 stars but he is the easiest teacher alive if u didnt get a 100 in this class its ur own fault. 2 easy assignments, 1 mid term and 1 final (gives u the answers) and 3 random quizzes based on attendance (u can search everything up). dont buy the textbook u dont even learn in that class its a free A unless u miss the quizzes
This class is SO easy. He gives you the answers to the tests. You really do not need to attend class EXCEPT for the fact that during the semester he will give the class 3 quizzes at random. So if you skip class the day there was a quiz, you will get a zero for that.
This class is soooo easy. He literally gave us the answers for our midterm we took like whaaat ?! there are 3 random quizzes he gives out so you cant really skip but he lets us use our notes for the quizzes so its not hard. the powerpoints are all online and I dont think he takes attendance
Love you professor White!! Your class opened my eyes to politics and since then Ive been watching news and been interested in whats happening.
Dr White is an interesting man. The class was a joke it was so easy. Few quizzes that he took off people's notes and read aloud to the class. 1 Midterm, 1 Final that you can search all the answers and he didn't care, even tried to take it with us, but questions different for everyone. 2 Assignments that are eZ. Not really a learning class.
His class is very easy.
most amazing teacher ever. easiest class ever. only 2 assignments, 3 random quizzes (based on attendance if u miss those quizzes you will probably fail the class) and 2 tests that are online. dont buy the textbook just buy the access code. if u dont get a 100 in this class thats on you
I took Dr. White for both 2305 and 2306. He is not a normal boring government teacher, he really tries to make bring current events into class. He also is very interested in everyone's story. He loves when people participate and if you don't, he WILL call on you to speak. I also got TWO scholarships because of his projects in class!
He'll make you talk if you're quiet. There are just a few grades: 3 POP quizzes, two tests, and 2 assignments. This is the easiest A ever! If you're looking for a blow-off class, take him
He is literally the best professor I've ever taken. If you don't get an A in this class, you might need to rethink college. It is by far the easiest A ever. He will make you talk though so if you're shy, get ready. Other than that, he is amazing take him if you want an easy A
He is an amazing professor. I would recommend him to any of my friends. We had 3 grades. 2 were test and 1 was a paper. Follow the directions on the paper and you'll get an A. He also reviews test questions in class. You'll want to attend class on these days. Other than that, attendance isn't crucial.
I took him for government as a eight week class. He is an amazing grader. I passed with a 100%. He does require students to discuss in class but thats about it. He gives the answers to the test as well. Definitely would take again!
Brian White is by far the best teacher I've had. He has PowerPoints that he goes through and will ask students to bring up gov related topics have us talk about it. He is unbias and wants his students to do well in the class. Has pop quizzes over notes sometimes but they're easy, exams will be the easiest exam of your life.
WOW! I have never had a professor so laid back. All he ask is that you participate in class. 3 grades...2 exams and 1 assignment. He makes class fun. I cant think of a single reason you cant get an A in his class.
Do not take this class in the wintermester if you are an international student that has never taken a government or us government class before.
Professor White is AMAZING! I recommend him to absolutely everyone who needs there govt courses! His quizzes are over what he tells you to write down and youll get an A, exams are gone over in class before you take them and then are taken online. He is sweet and loves to hear opinions and events that you have heard about occurring. 10/10
KINGKING! The most laid-back prof I've ever taken. Class isn't mandatory. There are very few assignments such as an 1100 word scholarship essay, around 10 quizzes, and 2 exams. Besides the essay, everything is due by the end of the semester. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE ESSAY HE GRADES EASY. I took gov 1&2 w him and got a 100 in his class both semesters
I loved this class, there was one tough assignment but it's the only one for the whole semester. Theres lots of quizzes but the reviews are god-sent. If you show up and participate you'll get an A.
Professor White was outstanding! He was funny, gave awesome lectures, and was a fairly easy grader, who doesnt require much from us. We have one big assignment this semester and just small summary quizzes on certain chapters, thats basically it. Im not saying dont show up and do nothing, but just take notes and youll easily ace the quizzes!
Easy A. Weird guy but literally the easiest class. He just talks about the news so I stoped showing up after the 3rd class ( I made a 100%). Clear grading and all assignments online. Very very easy. Dont need textbook
Dr. White is an interesting person and he's pretty funny without meaning to be. He unironically talks like Obama. We only had two assignments the whole semester and his version of studying for quizzes was going over the answers right before the quiz. Our final exam was writing a scholarship letter. He seemed to care more about scholarships than gov
Dr White makes the class engaging and encourages participation and critical thinking. He does not push any political agendas or opinions, he simply opens the conversation in alignment with the lecture content. His classes are easy if you attend regularly and do your quizzes. I have taken 2 courses with Dr. White and I wholeheartedly recommend him!
Now his lectures were so boring and literally had nothing to do with government but it's so easy, all the quizzes were online and he gave the answers before each one. There's one paper but you get it at the beginning of the semester and it's due at the midterm and he also gives the answers for the midterm.
Professor White is AMAZING and I highly recommend taking his classes. He has textbook quizzes, which he reviews the day before and are all super easy. He has a super cool scholarship project and it's easy too. His lectures are more discussion oriented which makes the learning more fun.
This was honestly the easiest class I have ever taken in my life. You don't need to read or study or do any work for the class really. He gives answers to all of his quizzes/tests including midterm/final. Only real work in the class is a scholarship project that you have to write an essay for, but he gives 100's for it if you just do it.
He expects you to talk in class, but gives you the answers for every quiz and test, or the answers can be found online. An easy A and you don't have to go to class.
He is an amazing professor! The only thing he tests hard on is the Scholarship Essay. All tests and exams are online, and he gives you all the answers! Overall, too easy! All tests and exams are due at the end of the semester,except Scholarship Essay. Don't really need to show up, but if you want the answers, do! I've had a 100 all semester.
He spent most of the time talking to his students about current events, and at times he would only talk about recent events and not open his PowerPoint. This class was basically online. We NEVER took any quizzes in person, our midterm and final were online, and the answers were on Quizlet.Take him if you are a lazy student. It's impossible to fail.
Doctor White is very clear on what he requires in order for you to pass his class. He does let you know at the beginning of the semester of the work he expects to be completed by the end of the semester so if you do not pass, that is your own doing. He is very easy to talk to, has great humor and attendance is not mandatory either.
Dr. White is a very understanding and practical professor. He aims to teach government through discussion rather than a textbook. Attendance isn't mandatory and the answers to all the material is online but I often went to lecture despite this because his lectures were entertaining to sit through. There is literally no way to fail.
I was a dual credit student taking his class at the Collin campus. Extremely easy with only a few quizzes due at the end of the semester. Beware of "Assignment 1", a 1200 word mandatory paper for a scholarship due halfway through. Still wouldn't take him again because he refers to everyone as "class" and often calls people out if they're too quiet
Dr. White is an excellent prof. He usually goes over the quizzes before they're due, you need the textbook to access them, though. He also brought in people to talk about scholarships and career advice. Very informative lessons that may be off-topic, but I really liked him trying to help us out. Take his class for an easy A and useful knowledge.
Prof.White was a great professor. I took both Govt 2305 & Govt 2306 classes from him. He is genuinely a very sweet person. The class was very easy. I would definitely take him again if I could.
Dr. White is kind and encouraging. He wants his students to be engaged with the material as well with politics/government outside of the classroom. He helped me greatly in becoming more outspoken and values each of our opinions. Great professor would definitely take his class again if I could.
one of my favorite professors!! attendance isn't mandatory but lectures arent too heavy. would highly recommend taking him as his class is fairly easy, just one scholarship essay. he also allows you to use laptops or devices and encourages people to talk if you show up to class.
