Yes, she can be a tough marker and there is some heavy reading from the texts. Besides, her lectures clarify everything from the texts and if there are any discrepancies, she goes to great lengths to clarify it. She is very accessible so if you don't understand anything, email her and she will go to lengths to help you over email or in person.

GO TO LECTURE! A lot of what she talks about isn't in the text and the exam and midterm are 50/50 split on where the questions come from. When she's teaching, write down what she's saying instead of just copying her slides or you won't do well. Very easy course if you just show up and read the short chapters. 10/10 love Deb!

Overall Deb's class was easy and interesting. Though, you are only graded by a few things which can be tricky (especially for first year students). The one assignment was easy, though she seemed to have one TA on her team with no knowledge of APA format which caused some people to achieve low grades for no reason. Overall, fairly interesting class.

Dr. White is excellent in engaging the class while encouraging critical thinking with an optimistic and enthusiastic attitude. Her lecture content and delivery is amazing and she is always supportive. I left the course with a broader perspective and greater sense of curiosity. One of the best experiences I had as a natural science student.

Very good lecturer but speaks very fast so i record lecture audio as lectures are not recorded. Ends every sentence with "M'kay" but is all around a great prof and i would class a class from her again.

Readings will help but you can get away without them. Her lectures hardly go the full 3 hours, and she gives a whole review for exams and midterms. Very interesting class

Prof White is incredible!! Her class is a good introduction to sociology, even if you aren't a sociology major (I'm business). Her lectures are easy to understand and actually engaging, not reading off the slides. She also never uses the full 3 hours of her lecture time, usually around 1.5 hours. She's amazing and I highly recommend!

Lectures are heavy but never went the full 3 hours. Some of the TA's were hard markers but Deborah is amazing and makes everything easy to understand. She gives full review for midterm and exam. You can get away without doing any readings just know a summary for the exams. Love her coolest prof ever and very understanding.

Deborah is the only reason I have faith in professors at Trent. Lectures are mandatory but they only go for 2hrs rather than the scheduled 3. Anything that was important would be said multiple times to make sure everyone got it. Any class she taught I would take, regardless of the subject.

she was an awful grader spent days on a paper and barely passed, there are only 3 ways to get marks. a midterm, an essay, and a final exam. goodluck trying to learn anything with no seminars going in depth and explaining. psychology was easier than this ridiculous class.

She deserves all the good reviews she gets. You can tell she is so passionate about Soci, her lectures are long, but engaging. She is so kind and reasonable with the work she gives out and grading. She's always up to chat, she is hilarious, she is just the real deal. I could go on for hours. She is hands down the best Prof I've had at Trent.
