If you want him to pay attention to you in class, you have to disguise yourself as a character from the book e.g. RALPH WALDO... This guy should be in diapers and in a Broadway play.

Never had such an arrogant & condescending professor before. Just reading his syllabus, you can get a sense of his bravado. Tough grader & doesn't give timely feedback unless you reach out to him. Had an 81% avg on Canvas which he stated would not be my final grade because I had 7 extra credit pts + 2 attendance pts to be added, still gave me a B

I had never enjoyed history before taking a class from this professor. He does a great job of making the class interesting for everyone, even those who don't really care about history. This was a great class, and Professor White made it incredibly interesting. 10/10, would take again.

I wouldnt recommend this professor to anyone. He is the worst professor Ive taken since I started college. You have to buy 5 books for his class. He doesnt explain hisself when you ask a question. He expects you to know everything about History and he wants you to read every book. Dont take his class if you have more then 2 classes.

I don't know why he got that bad rate. I took his 2 history classes because of my friend's recommendation. Each quiz and paragraph every week, but it's easy to get a 100. Using lockdown browser to take 2 exams at home. The final is in class. His lecture is interesting. Easy grading.

Don't get trolled by people who say he is easy. I thought I had aced the hardest english HCC professor until I took White's class. Man, I was pulling all-nighters on the second week. Do not take this teacher if you're even average at History. It taught me a lesson for registering my classes late and It left me jobless for the semester to pass.

Professor White was one of my favorite professors I've ever had. His lectures were interesting and always covered the assigned reading. His course is somewhat difficult, but if you actually put in the expected effort, you'll do well. Not an impossible class, but requires work. I enjoyed his lectures and the way he made class interactive.

What separates this guy from other professors is that he actually knows how to lecture like a good professor. If you are usually disengaged by history lectures, Professor White will most likely suit your needs. Also, you are going to have to read a lot. To preempt any crazy last-second book readings, I recommend listening to the audiobook.

Took him for both 1302 & 1301. Loved his classes both time. The lectures are very interesting and I actually learned so much. The course work isnt necessarily difficult but it isnt an easy A class. If you take pride in your work, you should be alright. His papers have clear grading criteria, and in my experience, easy if you follow instructions

I took his HIST 2301 online. This teacher thinks his class is the only class existing in this world. Way TOO MUCH reading for one class. Way too much detail. All his exams are written, including final exam. TOO MUCH READING! His textbook is a long narrative by an author. Just telling stories with too much detail. Had to drop it. Not worth it.

I loathed this class for 5 weeks straight. 1 essay and quiz due every 2-3 days. I worked for hours each day. I probably had 4 no-work days total. I'm usually a well-disciplined A+ student but this tedious class really made me want to end myself. Be prepared for work back-to-back and critical grading for essays. You'll celebrate your survival later.

I absolutely would not recommend taking Prof. White's class, he tends to grade papers subjectively and is somewhat on a powertrip. Due to using past recorded lectures, he would often contradict the textbook we were required to read out of, causing conflicts with test answers. Communicating with him is frustrating, as he comes off as intimidating.

Locks your computer so you can't even check the time while taking a quiz/test. His lectures are so long. Grades so hard. As a high school student, it was hard balancing other AP/DC classes while also having his. Takes forever to reply, is rude. Does not care for the position you are emotionally or economically. "I don't want your 'sob' stories."

Professor "Mojo" is very difficult. He does not care for your personal life at all and has a 12 FAQ assignment you must read about questions he does not want to answer. You have to use footnotes and he will constantly email you multiple reminders over and over again. DO NOT TAKE if you have a busy schedule. He gives "HARD TRUTHS" to students.

This is a very essay based course with a couple a quizzes every two weeks, he gives good feedback and as long as you participate you should be fine. I accidentally turned in the wrong thing for my research paper and instead of failing me he sent me an email and I ended up with a 90 on it only because it was late. He is a hard but fair teacher.

Absolutely Horrible. Every single class period you have some sort of assignment that is due for a grade. He barely goes over the notes. He is EXTREMELY condescending.

In 13 years of academics, I've never had an instructor this unpleasant. Aside from his grading, the worst aspect of the class was his character. Highly condescending and dismissive of students and their concerns. Passive aggressive messages multiple times a week. Truly advise you to avoid this professor for your own mental wellbeing.

He can come off as rude sometimes but he truly means well. Course is difficult but he is a very knowledgable man and therefore a good teacher. He usually drops some grades at the end of the semester. If you try your best you will be fine, but do NOT try to cheat in any way, shape or form. He is extremely strict when it comes to cheating and AI use.
