love her-she's great. Can't help but like her and her classes.
Dr. White is awesome! She is hilarious and relates past events to current day. Take any of her classes! Don't forget to study; she's not a pushover.
Goddess of history at LSUS!
Love her-I will take her for as many classes as offered. She makes things fun and interesting in what could be a very boring class.
She is definitely not a pushover, however, if you go to class, take good notes, and study for the test, you should make an A. She is an AWESOME professor who loves what she does and genuinely cares about her students, unlike some of the professors here. Take her for as much as you can!!!
she is sweet and loves what she does
great teacher makes the class interesting
I went into Hist 326 disappointed another prof wasn't teaching it, but I ended up loving Dr. White and am so glad she taught this class. Her lectures are interesting and dynamic. Tests are all subjective, but if you take notes and study you'll be fine. Highly recommended.
I really dreaded taking this course, however, Dr. White made this an awesome class! History is now part of my major. She is fun and entertaining. She is definitely not a pushover, however, she will bend over backwards to help you in any way that she can! LOVES what she does!! HIGHLY recommend!!!
AWESOME TEACHER!! Her lectures are informative and humorous, something most professors cannot pull off. I am an up and coming history major and her class only deepens my thirst for historical knowledge. Hopefully one day I can be as good a professor as her, but I doubt it!
Great, Great, teacher!!!She is so easy to follow on lecture and she tests straight from lecture. No tricks. Learned a lot in her class. Did not really have to study bc her lecture so interesting I remembered things she said.
She's very easy going and makes learning history a blast!!
Not a pushover, but will do anything to help a student. If you truly work hard, you will get an A. Class attendance is a must in order to pass. Good class. I enjoyed it.
I LOVED this class. I took it during the Summer, so we went over a lot of information in a short amount of time. She is very fair, and encourages discussion and questions. She's awesome and hillarious! I made an A and worked my butt of for it. She did require us to buy the text book this Semester.
Such an awesome professor. Take any class you can!
Great prof... take her if you can!
I LOVE Mrs. White. She is a great teacher and she cares more about your learning and understanding what happened in history than if you remember every date. She is awesome.
Intellectual thought required as well as accurate information. If you are willing to think and have an open mind, De. White is the way to go. Her teaching style is lecture and discussion. Clear and entertaining lectures.
Best teacher ever! She makes everything clear and understandable. Very entertaining, and knows how to relate to students. Take her for any history classes you can.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. She certainly knows her christian history and conveys the subject matter in such a way most people can understand. I found her to be quite approachable in that she helps you understand points of interest which may have not come across clear. She can be hard at times, but she is also fair. I would take her again
Take her if you can!!! She makes history come alive before your eyes and sound like a soap opera. She is fun and her lectures are interesting. She is also very student friendly. She does not give your grade, you will work for it but it will be worth and you wont mind. You will be enjoying it too much!
Her lectures are like a storytelling session! I didn't really have to study for tests because I remembered what she said. Plus she pretty much tells you what will be on the test!
Dr. White is an excellent teacher. I hated for the semester to end, she has a great sense of humor and makes learning history fun! I am taking another class from her in the fall!
She's awesome! Her lectures are always interesting and she teaches history like it's a soap opera. So much fun and you laugh the entire time.
GR8 PROFESSOR!! If u get the chance take her class. I enjoyed her class**:)
Knows what she's talking about, rather than simply reading from her notes...makes class interesting, if not enjoyable.
mrs. White is a wonderful teacher and i would love to take her again for history 106
Dr. W is great! Just pray you can take her for 299 if you have to take it. Don't get me wrong, I think my other history teachers are great, but she just made a very stressful class a lot easier to get through and digest. She is an interesting, funny, and helpful teacher. Don't hassle her about 299. It is useful and she helps you through it!!!!
She's a good teacher, kind of intimidating at first.
Dr. White is one of a kind. She is the best instructor I had at LSUS! Not only does she teach you history, she makes is fun and interesting. Definitely my best class so far!
Dr. White has an excellent way of relating history to students. She brings out the things you need to know in an entertaining way. Her essay tests are difficult. Class attendance is very important so you don't miss a lecture and get behind. I am not a history major. but I would still recommend Dr. White.
I heart Dr. White. her class is so interesting. she is so knowledgeable. Her class is so interesting. I never wanted to miss a day. Take good notes and show up. She is really great! My favorite professor by far!
She speaks well, listens well, shows how the Greeks and Christianity have shaped our western culture. I appreaciated that about her and she cares about her students.
Oh wow I love this lady! I've never had a class that I actually got excited about going to. I didn't even want to leave afterwards even though my hand hurt! Must warn though-only rated as "easy" b/c she makes it so fun to learn. The tests are actually hard but she lectures so that you immediately learn the answers b/c it's so interesting-DON'T MISS
This prof is awesome! You don't want to miss class because you want to hear more of the story. Cares about her students and loves what she does.
My favorite class EVER! Teacher completely rocks. Highly recommend this lady to anyone!
Greatest class I've ever had - fun, interesting, entertaining lectures, tests are easy if you come to class.
She is the best teacher. She brings stories to live. Before her i class I hated history. She made me have an interest in it. She gives a good amount of Bonus. I highly recommend her.
Dr. White is the greatest teacher at LSUS PERIOD!!! She is very helpful. The tests were not hard at all if you just study your notes. The book was also helpful to clarify some missed notes but mainly rely on her notes. The identifies on the tests are a great way to rack up some points if you screw up on the MC. I heart Dr. White!!!
I HATE THIS CLASS WITH A PASSION!!! GET IRITATED WHEN I WALK IN THE ROOM.. I RECOMMEND SOMEONE EASIER IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR HISTORY LIKE ME.. I HAVE A C FROM HER TESTS BEING SUPER HARD.. SHE DOES GIVE BONUS BUT IF YOU DON'T STUDY AND KNOW MATERIAL BONUS DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING!!!
thiS iS bY fAR thE bESt hiStORy PROfESSOR!!!.. hER CLASS iS GREAt, NO REMEmbERiN dAtES && iTS EXtREMEly iNTEREStiN (kiNdA lYk GOSSiP)..iF yUU GO tO ClASS && tAK NOtES UR fiNE...&& ShE GivS bONUS=) MY MAjOR iS NOW hiStORy b/c Of dR.WhiTE!
I don't know how anyone could make any grade less than an A in this class! This prof is awesome and an excellent lecturer. Tests come straight from lecture - no tricks. Bends over backwards to help students who need it. They should clone this lady and put her in every classroom!!!
She is sooo GOOD!!! I have taken her 3 times and will be taking her for a fourth next semester. She knows what she is talking about and she enjoys her job! Pay attention and take good notes. But she is soo much fun!
Very interesting class and teacher. Not nearly as easy as everyone makes her our to be. I went to class every day and took notes of everything she said. The tests did not align very well with her notes from class. I would strongly recommend to do the bonus because it will save your grade.
Ms. White is a credit to the staff at LSU. Very knowledgeable and worth taking.
Dr. White is one of the best professors I've had. If you pay attention, take notes, and take time to study for her tests, you'll be fine. She tells you everything that is on her tests. She gives you opportunities to give bonus, which not many professors do. I passed with over 100 because of the bonuses. If you plan to take Western Civ, take her.
Wow and WOW. Cannot say enough good stuff about this class and this professor. Certainly knows her stuff better than anybody I've ever seen and is so entertaining you forget you are in the classroom. Laughs, loves her work and makes you love it too!! The best.
I wouldn't take a history class with any other professor unless I had to. Dr. White is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about history and it shows in her lectures, which are always entertaining - she doesn't recite; she's a storyteller, and a great one at that. The class is impossible to fail if you are studious.
I went back to school at age 53 and dreaded taking history after so many years post high school, but OMG! This professor is simply amazing. I can't wait to make it to her class daily. Her style is so unique and very effective. My daughter had history under her and suggested that I enroll in her class. Thanks daughter!
Amazing, truly an amazing teacher. I loved coming to her class and she taught history in a very comedial way. I WISH i can take her again. she offered TONS of extra credit. the text book is needed becuase she'll ask you to do homework from it, which isnt much at all. i mande an A in the class. she is wonderful. Thank you so much Cheryl!!
She really wants you to like History and does a great job convincing non majors to become history majors...
totaly awesome!! need to go to class for lecture, but she's very intresting. She teaches in a way to make you want to go. Night class is the way to go.
Never had so much fun in a college classroom. Totally awesome teacher who clearly loves what she does and has a lot of fun doing it. Hilarious teaching style and this actually helps you remember the material. TAKE HER FOR EVERY CLASS YOU CAN!!
Super fun. so knowledgable.
One of the best profesors I have had in my college years. I've attended 2 previous colleges and nowhere I have found a profesor so knowledgeble and passionate about her subject.
I would honestly take her classes even after I graduate if I had the money. Fascinating, excellent teaching style, and brilliantly snarky. It was a sincere joy to take her class.
She is amazing!!!
I absolutely loved this class and would take her again in a hearbeat! Wonderful teacher, makes history interesting!! I really dreaded taking a history class, but would not have second thoughts about taking another with her! She does not use a book, so being class is a must.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! Makes the material interesting, tests directly off her lecture. YOU WILL NOT NEED THE BOOK! BEST PROFESSOR THUS FAR!!!
I love this woman! I am a secondary education major in history now, and I wasn't before I took this class. As an educator, she is pretty much everything I want to be. If you don't like history - you will. If you do like history - you will LOVE her. Best professor ever. Seriously, ever.
AWESOME
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEST PROFESSOR IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AND SHE GIVES OUT EXCELLENT BONUS once all we had to do was go to a play BAM we got BONUSSSS LOVE HER
Unbelievably informative class and this woman has so much knowledge she could crush entire towns with the weight of her brain. Approachable, smart, funny as hell but not easy. If you can't study, don't take an upper level class with her.
Awesome class! Even though I already loved history I can totally see someone hating history loving her class. She made the information very modern and easy to understand. Tests are very straight forward and she gives plenty of bonus to help out with anyone having a hard time.
Over the years, scientists have studied Cheryl White extensively and concluded that she is objectively the greatest professor in the history of the world.
Don't remember the section #, but it was the 2nd West. Civ. She is an absolutely wonderful teacher! She is sarcastic, but not in a discouraging or disparaging way (more like flat-out hilarious). Show up everyday, or most days, and you won't need the text. Tests are thorough but not terribly difficult. All teachers should model themselves after her.
Dr. White is way too intelligent to be teaching at LSUS....she is unbelievably interesting and KNOWS what she is talking about. Her love and interest for History is so impressing.
I went into her class expecting to hate her because my sister did but found out pretty quick that my sister is crazy and it is impossible to do anything but love Dr. White! I haven't taken my final yet but I'm expecting a low A or a high B. It is a class that requires studying but only because there's so much material. highly recommended.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say "I hated history until I took a class with Dr. White," I could pay off my student loans.
Dr. White is extremely helpful and makes the class interesting. Some people find it boring and her lectures bring character to the lesson. Attending class is a wise idea as she sometimes does random extra credit. She is a very caring and intelligent lady.
Dr. White is without doubt THE single best professor I have EVER had the fortune to have. Although I haven't had her in many years, this woman is a bastion of brilliance, and her enthusiasm and passion make ANY subject more interesting than anything you could imagine. In addition to being LSUS' most brilliant professor, she's also it's prettiest!
Dr. White is one of the best and smartest history professors I have ever had. I really enjoyed her class this year and looked forward to going to the lecture each week. I really feel that I've learned so much more on the history of Christianity. I would definitely take one of her classes again and would HIGHLY recommend her as a history professor!
The best teacher every if I have to take any more history classes it would have to be with her. She is funny and interesting and works with you. I loved her class
She is the BEST history professor I have EVER had. She makes the class interesting and makes you want to learn more about history. I even considered switching my major because of her. I would highly recommend her.
Dr. White is one of the best professors I have ever had! Her lessons may not be the most interesting, but she definitely makes it fun! She is an incredibly brilliant woman, and really knows her history! I would totally recommend anyone to take Dr. White!!
Dr. White is quite knowledgeable about a wide variety of areas of history. Take her if you want to learn the subject, studying is required. Can be easy but she's not just gonna give out an A. Don't just do the required essay parameters from the text, do some research.
Hands down the best professor I have ever taken, and I have been to other colleges. Dr. White has a great sense of humor and likes to see the students thinking about the material. A lot of information is covered, but she is willing to help anyone who puts in an effort.
Dr. White is by far the best professor on European/Christian History ever. I love her classes!Dr. White truly makes History come alive. Her classes are truly easy if you do the work, take notes, and pay attention. Her lectures are like a good television show, you always want to know what's on the next episode!!
She lectures from the beginning to the end of class BUT as long as you attend you WILL pass. I have never liked history but she made it fun and easy. I've never used the book in her class. She doesn't try to trick you on the test, exactly what she says in class is what's on the tests. She also gives bonus. LOVED HER. I would take her again!
must show up for class to pass test. she makes history fun and interesting!
Cheryl White is the BOMB!
THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD YET. I'm not a big history fan, but Dr. White made this class super interesting. If you go to class, you should pass. Her lectures are the entire class length but they are interesting, funny, and on point. You do NOT need the book for this class, at all. Her tests are super easy if you have attended lecture.
Class was interesting. All material for tests is given during her lectures. Textbook isn't required. She makes most things clear what will be on the test because she'll repeat it over and over. Come to class. You'll fail if you don't take notes from her lectures.
Everyone knows that this woman is one of LSUS absolute BEST professors. You won't have anyone who lectures better or is more entertaining in her approach to history. Lots of depth to her knowledge and she doesn't suffer fools at the upper level, so be prepared to work your butt off. Would absolutely take her for anything she taught.
Very clear from the beginning of the course. Gives multiple extra credit assignments and DOES NOT make you memorize any dates like most history classes do. Tests are on what she goes over in class, and gives plenty of reminders for assignments and test coming up. Highly recommended teacher.
Favorite teacher so far at LSUS. Made history interesting and didn't make you memorize dates. Go over your notes before the test and you should pass! Gives bonus the first day of class and throughout the semester if you attend.
A great teacher really turns a boring subject into something you can relate to.
Need I say anything other than, " Dr. White" She I truly an amazing teacher. If you do not like her it is because of personal issues.
There are no words for what a great teacher this lady is. She has a gift of making complicated material very understandable. Take every class you can with her.
Dr. White's makes everyday different and truly makes learning history a enjoyable thing. Just like other post she does not require you to remember dates. Bonus is given throughout the semester. If you have to take any history class take it with Dr. White
Easy, easy, easy. Hardly had to study for tests, just paid attention in classes I went to and passed with an A. She is so funny and makes learning the material fun and easy! LOVE Dr. White! We did not use the book! TAKE THIS CLASS!!
So fun! The subject matter is already pretty interesting and she challenges you to really think. She is intelligent, classy, funny. So obvious she loves what she does. I want to be just like her when I grow up!
Go to class take note pay attention and an A/B is guaranteed. She gives bonus opportunities. She also does a review before the test. Test are easy as long as you study. A friend never came to class except on review days, she used my notes and passed with an A. No book is neccesary if you pay attention
If given the choice between taking hot coals and listening to one of Dr. White's lectures again, I would take one of her lectures.
Took her online during the summer. It wasn't hard, but it was a lot of busy work. I would have much rather taken her class on campus. Every week we had a reading assignment and a discussion board post due, and every other week she will throw in an extra assignment. At the end of semester she gave you an opportunity to do a bonus assignment.
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!!
Dr. White is the best there is. Hands down
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.
Dr. White made me fall in love with history again! Her lectures were fascinating, and she made them fly by. I loved the book we used so much that I bought it again later for fun reading!
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.
Awesome professor I've really enjoyed the semester. Didn't think I would like history at all but she has really made it come to life for me. Lectures are interesting, Tests come straight off of lectures.
Dr. White is an AMAZING professor! She truly cares about her field, and gives her all in her lectures! She is fun and energetic! If you go to LSUS, you MUST MUST MUST take a class with Dr. White. She knows her stuff, and I promise you will leave not just smarter but inspired! She comes prepared, she keeps class REAL! She is by far the BEST LSUS has
I want to be her! <3
I always take the opportunity to take her classes. She is very funny
Before I went into Professor Cheryl white history 106 class , I thought history was boring and irrelevant, to be quite honest. But Professor white makes every story come to life.!! I wish I could have taken her again :(. We didnt really use a text box, and her tests are quite easy once you study the notes. Get you will get an easy A or B!!
If you don't come to class you absolutely will fail, but her lectures are SO interesting. I hated history before her, now I look forward to going to class. If you study you'll get an easy A. She's hilarious and so sweet. She offers one or two bonus assignments along with a few multiple choice tests. Take her!
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!
You can print off slideshows that the lectures are based off of, if you do not show up for class you will not have the information needed for exam. Three exams all multiple choice, all information given to you through lectures.
One of the best professors ever. To the point, clear, and organized. Classes are fun and engaging.
Her doctoral degree is not from an American university. Not impressed.
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.
I absolutely ADORE Dr. White and I loved her class. I actually got sad when I missed her class, because it was that enjoyable for me. Tests come from lecture. No textbook.
simply an amazing teacher. very easy
She only gives a handful of tests throughout the semester and they are all based on her lectures which are AMAZING. She made me actually enjoy a history class. As long as you show up and pay attention you will pass.
Words cannot even explain how much I love this class, she really knows how to bring history to life. I also took Philosophy with her and that class is equally as amazing. I wish I was a history major just so I could continue going to her lectures, they really have been the highlight of my week. Definitely take her.
I was fortunate to have her as one of my first professors in my college career. She knows her stuff and her test aren't bad as long you study for it, and lite studying is all that necessary.
Doctor White is a teacher whose reputation and professionalism needs no introduction. It was an absolute joy listening to her lectures as well as interacting with her in the classroom. She makes student discussions both entertaining and informative. I will definitely take one of her classes again.
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
Dr. White is one of the best professors on campus. She is very sweet and knows what she is talking about. She also loves when people ask questions in and outside of class.
Ms. White is amazing to start off. She is a really chill lady. There is no homework for this course at all, besides studying for tests. There's only 4 tests. I highly recommend going to as many lectures as possible for the best understanding of material. Test come straight from lectures. I personally did not even touch my textbook for this class.
Dr White is a nice lady but is overworked it seems. Shows up to class underprepared. Assigns a little reading, but it is peripheral to the subject and skips the important stuff: on the Reformation, no reading of Luther or Calvin.
Excellent professor. Requires just enough outside reading to supplement course material and just expands what she is covering in the lectures. Always on topic, encourages a lot of discussion.
Her class is super easy! You take 2 exams and a final. She gives out extra credit and her class is super fun and easy. Just pay attention to the PowerPoints and lectures.
Test are easy just study the powerpoints and lecture notes.
This prof could make anyone love history. An amazing teacher and storyteller and so helpful. I only wish I needed more history courses.
She is an excellent story teller and more than covers everything that will be on upcoming tests.
Professor White's class is a particular easy class. I personally do not care for her as a professor considering I have reached out to her on multiple occasions concerning the course but received no answer. I prefer when professors care about their students enough to respond.
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.
I completely loved this class and this professor. She obviously truly loves this subject and is at home in it. She brings it alive so you feel like you could be there! My only complaint about her is that she does not teach everything I must take.
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).
