Professor White is probably one of my favorite professors on campus! She is so good at lecturing and really knows what she is doing. Her tests are easy and attendance is not mandatory. Her power points are online but you would need to be there for the lectures so you can fill them in. Her review days could be more better but overall love her!!

I have hated history my whole life but this amazing woman brings it to life. Every lesson is a story so it's easy to follow along but it is challenging because she won't spoon feed you test answers, it is important that you have a solid grasp on the material. She is also very funny and easy to pay attention to. 10/10 would recommend for anyone.

She does not take attendance but I still attended class every day, just because she made it that interesting. Did poorly on the first exam but I met with her and discussed it and did great for the rest of the semester. Hilarious and she obviously loves what she teaches. Would recommend her to anyone, definitely taking her again!

She is very clear at the beginning of the semester on what is expected. Attend class, because there wasn't a text book this time. Made it more difficult for me due to being a person who likes to take notes then read a text book to bring all material together. I recommend printing the slides in note form so you can follow along with her lectures.

The class was 33% online. The online portion was somewhat easy, but she would at times inexplicably and arbitrarily count off 5-10% on an online post and not say why despite being directly asked and despite the posts being within the criteria stated on the syllabus. Her essay tests are graded harshly, and she inserts her own opinions in lectures.

Online MNPA at LSUS, Dr. White is the professor. The online course is simple in comparison to other instructor. She marked off 10 points on an essay assignment and I have emailed 3 times requesting feedback as her syllabus advises and still no response. Post assignments are generic. Slow to grade work. Final paper is due next week. Disappointed.

Had her for two classes in the same semester. Made both classes interesting. Attendance is important to her and for success in her class. Lectures are long and all PowerPoint but not horrible. Lets class out early and does reviews. Very few grades in the class and are all tests. Not the easiest but definitely NOT the hardest. Bonus points often!

Dr. White is amazing. Doesn't take attendance, offers a bunch of extra credit, keeps lectures (for history classes) interesting. Even an 8 am class with her isn't bad. Grades are mostly a quiz and 3 exams, so you must take notes and study, but there's no book so it's pretty easy.

Dr. White is a great professor. She doesnt use a textbook. She teaches her lectures based off of PowerPoints. Whenever a test is coming up, she will ask only a few questions to see if the students understand. She also gives various bonus opportunities to help boost students grades. Take notes of mostly everything she says and study them for tests

Amazing lectures, but you have 5 total grading opportunities. One is an easy 100 point meme project, and the others are unit exams. The tests are incredibly easy if you go to the review day, in fact, you don't really have to even go to the lectures, as long as you make review day. Still, I totally recommend you go to the lectures, they're amazing!

Terrible professor. She was a glorified babysitter. She did nothing else but assign readings which, often, were never used or referenced ever again. She has ridiculous word- and page- length requirements that make you feel like you're back in high school. She takes forever to grade assignments, and there is no explanation for any points lost.

Fantastic lectures, she is really able to make the course content engaging and exciting to learn, even at 8 in the morning. Work every week, including short-mini essays every week. Highly recommend any of her classes. (She really prefers note taking on paper, it will help with writing assignments in class).
