Very easy class as long as you answer your discussion questions and actually show that you looked at the artwork. Prof white was quick to grade and answer any questions. Took online for summer one.
This is a great first course to take in your path to a degree.
he is a good professor and is a understandable person
He's an all around great professor! Would totally take him again!
he is really good at what he does
He grades realy fair and is concerned about his students academic well being.
Mr. White was a really good teacher to me as a online student. He always answered my questions when I would email him and ask. I like the way he runs his class. He is also very good at explaining things that you might get lost on.
I came in this class thinking I was going to hate it because Im not a fan of art. As the class started, it became my favorite class. Professor Derrick had a good personality which made the class much better. He would also bring food to almost every class. We didnt only learn art appreciation but we learned life appreciation. You wont regret it.
By far one of my favorite professors and he's super funny and chill. I wouldn't mind taking him again. Plus the class is SUPER easy!
he was funny
Hilarious professor that is understanding as long as you talk to him. Didn't use the book much so you don't necessarily need it. Really easy class as long as you show up.
The class was exceptional. In all honesty, I've learned more about life in this class than I did and any others. Not necessarily how to wake up, pay bills, and go to work, but how to appreciate the little things and the details of everything. That is in large part due to the outstanding work of professor White. I enjoyed this class, you will too.
Great teacher ! Even though this class was not necessary for me, the teacher made the class fun. I would recommend this class to anybody.
He was very interesting and gave you different aspects of life, as well as art itself. I would definitely recommend this is teacher if you want to enjoy an art class with exciting things happening all the time.
Mr. White was a great teacher and was very good at answering any questions I had and always had an answer for my questions! I enjoyed taking his class alot.
Very easy to work with. Flexible and understanding.
Take this Professor for an easy A! He literally only wants a nicely thought out opinion on artists or a piece of artwork. The hardest thing about this class is the amount you have to do, but he gives you A LOT of time to complete the work. If you do one discussion every one or two days, you'll be done before the due date! I took the online class.
I thought he was a very understanding professor and I'm thankful for that
I loved this class. It helped me a lot and taught me so much. This professor was so understanding and helped a lot in difficult situations.
I enjoyed Fine Arts all semester. It was a pretty easy course if you came to the lectures. I enjoyed his surveys and art discussions.I like how every class period he would do one out of three- inspirational video, ask us how our semester was going or just tell funny jokes to help us wake up. I would definitely recommend a friend if he/she need this
This professor was really cool and I learned a lot. His lectures were easy to understand and remember. His exams/quizzes weren't hard and actually covered what was talked about and what was in the workbook.
Derrick was awesome!
over all I enjoy having Mr White
Derrick White is an amazing teacher, he is fair in his grading and if you honestly apply yourself you should find yourself making an A I believe. Derrick inspired me to be more involved with art in my life which I never expected I would end up doing. I would highly recommend this teacher.
Mr. White is a great Art teacher. He is clear on what needs to be done weekly. I took a 8 week course and had roughly 10-13 discussions due weekly. He is not a tough grader, he just wants your honest opinions and effort on your part. If you know nothing about art and this freaks you out, dont be. He honestly just wants you to participate.
He is cool.
You have to actually write in the discussions you can't put like two sentences he will give you zero credit.
The class itself is relatively easy, however, if you are tend to procrastinate the assignments will catch up to you and could cost you a letter grade. When answering class discussions, give your honest opinion. Do not let the fear of being wrong or sounding silly stop you from voicing your opinion. In this class and art there are no wrong answers
This class is super easy, and also super interesting!
Life lessons are learned in this course!
He was a pretty good teacher, wish i could met him. I took the class online and sometimes it would have been nice to hear the information instead of reading it.
Derrick White is by far my favorite professor. He is very understanding and will make sure you pass with an A. As long as you do the work and attend class you will do fine. The films are great, and the class is great overall. 10/10 would recommend
Does not give good feedback.
Some of the modules and assignments were vague on what he was actually looking for.
Professor White is one of the best art professors that you can have.
Professor White was by far one of the BEST professors ever!! I took him for art appreciation honors, and it was nothing like I expected it to be. I was anticipating having to learn all about the history of art, and having to draw every week or so, but it turned out to be a film studies course, which was really awesome! 10/10! You won't regret it!!
Good teacher and very easy to pass class.
Really a nice guy, laid back and no homework
This has been one of my favorite classes I have taken since I have been at TJC. The class makes you want to get up and be productive, to make art for the sake of your own pleasure. I believe that I will always remember this class, my professor, and all the good times that came with it. I am so glad I got the chance to experience it.
I would take him again he is a really good Professor
I took this class online during the summer and there were a lot of assignments and reading but all he asks is that you show effort and participate really. He is also funny!
I enjoyed this class, I got to learn a lot more about art and how many different materials you can use. And I also learned that art does not have to be a painting, art can be a photograph, sculpture, a building and many more.
I was not looking forward to this class but really enjoyed it. I learned a lot and enjoyed the content. You have to do the readings and activities, post lots of opinions/reactions and take open note tests. If you do the work, you'll be fine. Mr. White is great and is passionate about teaching art. Definitely recommend.
awesome teacher
His online course was pretty simple. You had chapters you went over in an Art book (not text book) and you reviewed certain artist. A lot of the discussions he mainly wanted your opinion. Test were easy just actually had to have PowerPoint up and the small book provided to answer. He is a great professor and very easy to communicate with.
The online class was easy just don't procrastinate. Do your discussion questions and put in effort and its easy.
All you have to do is show up and turn in responses and quizzes on time. We were given plenty of time for that and it was a low-stress class. One of my favorite classes and teachers so far. Would definitely recommend!
This is an easy A if you do the work. Great class with fun content. I learned a lot.
Easy Art appreciation teacher. I recommend taking the 8 week course; we got out early every day. He mostly just showed clips and movies. Easy assignments and tests, you won't regret taking this class.
I loved how he provided videos to get a more in debt look at a specific artist. This was a very good class. And he graded work in a timely manner and also responded to emails in a amazing time matter. I took the class online. Though we did have like 52 assignments they were super easy, basically read the section assigned then write a discussion.
Mr. White is very clear of his expectations. Grades entered in timely manner. Responds when it is necessary. Very personable. I would highly recommend his course.
Professor White is a great teacher. I took art appreciation with him, online, for the 8 week course and it was a great! You will have lots of assignments and discussions due on the same day, but they aren't anything hard, just time consuming so do them throughout the week so you don't get overwhelmed. Overall, a great class and a great Professor!
loved this class! the assignments where straight forward and simple which made life so much eaaier for me. Definitely a great professor
Pretty easy and interesting class to take. I did not expect to like the course this much but I did. I learned so many cool things that I never knew before about art. Pretty clear grading policy and does respond to email pretty swiftly as well.
There are a lot of assignments given but they are super easy!! Take this class you will not regret it. No books needed. All we used was powerpoint slides to read and answer group discussions and quizzes.
This professor knows his class is an elective but makes it as enjoyable as possible. As long as you do the discussions and read through the work book (the "textbook") for the tests you will pass. I learned some interesting things from his class.
He takes his classes seriously and grades you fairly. His class is highly enjoyable and I would recommend anyone to take his class. I took it online and it was very easy, just read the textbook, which is short, read through the slide show, and respond to the discussion assignments.
He takes his class very seriously, I enjoyed that he had a set date for our assignments weekly, for example, every Wednesday we would have something due and this class was an easy A as long as you do all the assignments you should have no problem. He is a great professor and encourage everybody to take him.
Well I didnt really know my professor and I never got to see him because he was online course.
Excellent professor that really cares with his students. Mr White is very clear in his assingments and also a veru flexible professor. Nothing to complain only complements.
I love this teacher; he is very passionate about his job. I would highly recommend he really takes the time to listen to you.
I really enjoyed the online arts class with Derrick White. His power points were informative and they kept my interest the whole time. He grades things really fast and gets back to you quick. The discussion questions were appreciated. I would definitely recommend this class!
Mr. White grades on participation and your thoughts and opinions. He is not looking for you to be "right." He is looking for your to participate in the activities and give your honest opinion.
Complete the homeworks and tests and you will pass the class with a good grade.
Had Professor White in Fall 2020 in which I had 2 deaths in my family and was hospitalized. Professor White started the semester by telling us he didn't care if we showed up for class or not and proceeded to miss the next 4 times I was in class. I was later given a B for attitude and quality based on attendance, even through communication of issues
I loved him! 10/10 would recommend!
Awesome class super easy. Just do your work and be honest. You just have to post your opinions. Tests are open book and super easy. There wasnt anything I couldnt find in his powerpoints on the tests.
When I struggled with my internet and couldn't finish my online exam, Professor White was understanding and was willing to work with me. I appreciate it when a professor is ready to take their time and work with their students.
This class was pretty interesting. Allowed for a unique and out of the box outlook into the world of film. Was kind of disappointing, however, to find the arts appreciation class mainly focused on film.
This professor was great I would take his class again.
I loved this class! He is very understandable and pretty easy. His tests were 45 to 50 questions some were hard for me, but most are open book!! I loved professor White!!
I really enjoyed taking this online art class. I now have a different outlook on art and Dr. White was amazing, willing to assist and responds quickly to emails. I would highly recommend.
Great professor and i learned a lot
Derrick White was a great professor for this class and made the class honestly easy. I took it as a matter and got done with it in couple of weeks. There is a decent amount of work to be done, but it's pretty easy and he usually grades within couple of hours.
I took this class in a Maymester and actually really enjoyed it. The course work is easy to follow and there are powerpoint lectures for all 4 units. The work is very easy but does require effort. Overall, I loved this class and feel like I actually came out with a deeper appreciation for art. Professor White is very kind and wants you to succeed!
I would definitely take this class again. I took Professor Whites 3 week course. thought it is a lot of online lectures and viewing art. The Assignments revolving it are not hard at all. He really just wants to you see you participate, and give a honest opinion of what you thought. The exams are great too. Open book and notes. Not hard at all!
Derrick White is a great teacher. He doesn't grade too hard and has a couple extra credit opportunities. He really just want's your opinion about the topic. The test are multiple choice and not too hard.
He is a great professor.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this teacher, this was just a very hard class, I will say this I kind of wished this class would of had one topic about music. It's mostly discussions, but the teacher gives great feedback.
There were to many discussions I would have rather wanted a short quiz with multiple choice for each section. The discussions took a lot of my time to go over every video or website. There was like about 30 discussions and I wasn't so sure about my answers.
This is a rather easy class, you just have to participate with a little bit of effort and you will do just fine. Loved this professor.
This class overall was very chill, he gave us a few weeks to do half of the course and then gave us another few weeks to do the other course. He was respectful and was caring to ask if we had any questions or concerns., he also let us take our time with his class assignments.
His class is so awesome! Easy to follow along!
Easy class if you do your work!
Easy to follow, open-book tests make your life 100 percent better in this course.
Doesn't teach anything, doesn't specify grading criteria, doesn't show up for class, but expects everyone to be an art major with quality work in the middle of a pandemic. I will literally never throw money away taking art classes at TJC ever again.
I really enjoyed the class!
Really great teacher !
nothing to say, just giving a rate
I really enjoyed his class because it's completely self-taught and self-paced all you have to do is meet the deadlines and actually try. I've learned a plentiful amount from this course as well and can funnily enough appreciate art a lot more.
Very caring. It is obvious he has a genuine fascination with art.
Easy class just follow the modules and you'll do fine. I took this class as an 8-week course and I couldn't imagine taking it in a 16 weeks. There are a lot of things to do but If you can manage your time you will be fine.
Some of the things on the tests was not stated anywhere in the notes you had to get or the powerpoints.
I learned alot taking his art appreciation course and I really wished I took his class in person. It was fun and I truly feel like a have a better artistic eye for appreciation and understanding of other artist work. I would recommend his online course especially if you like to work at your own pace.
All assigments were clear which made taking this online class less stressful and more enjoyable learning about art and different artist.
Great Professor!
Whilst it was a lot to try and look at all the sights and post in each discussion, I did have a great time. My problem is that I ran out of time. Maybe not as many separate discussions. lol. Otherwise I had a freaking great time. I learned a lot I didn't know and got to experience some artists I had never seen. 10 out of 10 man!!
Professor Derrick White was very nice, he explained our assignments well and his PowerPoints and videos he shared with us were amazing and very understandable, I really enjoyed Professor Derrick White and his class!
I don't have any additional input.
You have to read the material in order to complete the assignments, which I enjoyed because I actually learned quite a bit!
This professor is great! He has very good content and inspires you to get in touch with your creative side. As long as you actually care about doing your work there is no way you can't make an A. Extra credit was given at end of course.
Easiest class ever
Thank you for teaching about art.
He was easy to get ahold of. He grades assignments daily. Doesn't ask trick questions. Gives you all the materials you need to succeed in the class. Plenty of time to finish homework. Your opinion matters on the subjects. There were 4 exams, had 2 hours to complete exams. Above all one of the best professors, I have ever had. Would take it again.
I enjoyed this class. Only thing I wish is that I could have made up some grades.
Professor White is a great teacher. He really knows his stuff, I took this course online and it was a easy A. He made art exceptionally interesting. Would definitely take this course (online) if you need to knock out a few perquisite courses.
Professor White was great! I took his online summer class and he made it very clear and accessible. He provided clear instructions and had great communication whenever I had a question. He assigned assignments that were interesting and fun to look at, so I actually enjoyed the work. He is a great professor and would definitely take again.
Professor White was easy to get ahold of if there was any problems or questions. He graded fairly. This class was easy and you had a lot of time to get it done. You were able to give your opinions on several discussions. Would recommend him!
Professor White was very helpful when I couldn't get into websites. He was very motivational and gave feedback on discussions.
I really enjoyed this class. He created his assignments to be due on certain dates not every day. It was kinda self-paced.
The class was awesome
The course was truly amazing. It was not only educational but also very enjoyable. Everything was graded on time and the professor was always available. It was also really nice that you could work at your own pace as long as you met the deadline. I am truly thankful for this course and all the things I learned.
My class was online so, I did not meet professor White in person. However, he did give feed back when he thought you needed it.
It was a good class, along with it being enjoyable. There was plenty of time to do your assignments long with you test which were honestly easy because most of the answers came from the textbook. I enjoyed learning about art and the different things that come with it. It was a good course.
Makes Art Appreciation very interesting, especially to the average consumer. Enjoyed taking the class. You can tell he really does enjoy art.
I would definitely recommend Mr. White for you first time art teacher. The class is easy, but you learn so amny different types of art.
This was an online class so it can be done at your own pace. The professor assigns a lot of discussion questions, but only has four tests throughout the course. Overall, I would take this course and professor again.
He is AWESOME! So helpful and the class is actually really interesting. 10/10 would recommend to any freshmen thinking about taking this class.
This professor is very caring and nice to student, He is the best.
Overall, it was a great class. It was a lot of small, quick assignments, but if you stay on top of things it is all pretty easy.
Really easy all the work was self explanatory. Make sure you pay attention to due dates!
The class was awesome. Opened book tests, but be prepared to search for the answers. The answers are all over the book, not just the topic that was studied. I would encourage others to take this class. I have learned of artist I know nothing of previously.
Learn the history of art and having the appreciation for art.
he is a very chill and nice proffesor and makes this class fun!
Very cool professor!
Great class!
Took his Honors 8-week course and it was so easy. It is straight to the point and every assignment is mostly your own opinion, so no right or wrong answer.
I loved his online class.
Mr. White's online art1301 class is a good one to take. It's a great intro class, grading is heavy on participation. Which for someone with no prior art experience is very helpful. Really like that he displays his own work in the modules. It's nice to see him as an artist and not just a professor.
Professor White was very helpful throughout the whole class. Although the class was online, I felt as though I have learned a lot about art history, and he was able to make it really interesting. I would love to have professor White again!
His teaching style fit me very well.
He was a great professor.
A great professor who introduces you to things that you may have never thought you would find interesting.
He is very easy to work with and how he has his course set up is easy to understand
although this class was online, i learned so much and enjoyed every assignment that was given to us.
He is a great professor, all the work was simple to do and easy to manage. If there was any issue with work or questions he'll do what he can to help you.
I did this class as an 8 week course, and for how long we had we covered a lot! He did not present all of the material overwhelmingly, and spread it out evenly. The assignments were not difficult tasks, but they required you to take the time to do it. All of the information was presented in an engaging way and he gave clear instructions.
This class has taught me a lot. I feel everyone should learn about the history of art and how much has changed of time.
Enjoyable, interesting class.
very easy and laid back class
Very easy art class as long as you do the work! Professor white makes art interesting....
This professor was very supportive and I loved his curriculum and lectures, would take his class again if I could.
The class was easy very nice guy
Great overall class!
Course was extremely fun and easy! Although I took it online, his lectures were very fun and interesting!
Great professor! Definitely take him.
Derrick White is amazing! His class is very easy and straightforward. He is super understanding and he knows his stuff!
Eazy peezy. Best and easiest class ever. The lectures are interesting and the tests and work are easy. This is the art class you want. Thank me later!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved the teaching style and the fact that although we had to read the workbook, another way of learning with bright colors and information from the slides was a way to wake up the mind as well and help remember the information. I liked not having to reply to others opinions in every discussion.
Professor White kept things simple and easy. He's the type of educator who doesn't give busy work and grades pretty leniently as long as you try. I was not drawn to art and only took the class for the credit needed: however, Professor White kept things interesting and I learned a lot about art. The workbook is not needed for online courses. 5 stars
Professor Derrick White is amazing. Participation matters! Do your work and you are guaranteed to pass!
Professor is very organized and makes it easy to find topics through the modules. Has very fun discussion topics and not many tests. Was my favorite course so far (Im in my third semester).
There is a lot of homework because I took it as an online class. The homework was extremely easy though! Professor White was an extremely good professor and worked extremely well with me if I had any technical problems at all. I 100% recommended him as a professor!
The professor was great at showing you different types of art that I did not know existed. Yes, some of my responses that I gave was short or not enough information. Therefore, Professor White would give me the grade that I deserve. Would I take another one of his classes? Yes, not that it is require, but it brought out different outlooks on art.
I would defiantly recommend taking Art Appreciation its a very easy course to take. But there are a lot of dissuasions and forums you have to do. But other than that Professor White is a great professor and I very much enjoyed his class.
As an online professor White made his class very easy to comprehend and not once throughout the semester did, I have to contact him because I had difficulty with one of his assignments. As long as the student shows effort their discussion post and complete most assignment is quite easy to receive an A+ in the course.
Any questions I had about assignments, Mr. White answered with clarity and understanding. Took the class as an elective and learned more than I thought I would.
Professor White ART appreciation course was fairly easy! All you have to do is complete your assignments on time. His course is based on discussions as long as you give detail and try he will give you a good grade.
Pay attention and never forget that you have this class
He was a very good professor and the work was pretty easy you just have to pay attention when doing the assignments.
This course was a breath of fresh air! I enjoyed every single second of it. Thank you so much for bringing to light the different kinds of art to us and also for sharing so much history about it all. I learned so many things in this class. I appreciate how you were interested in my opinion, and you never reprimanded me for having one.
This class was very easy. You would enjoy reading about the different types of art. The exam is not that hard if you read your workbook and your assignments.
Derrick White's online art class is very easy all you have to do is read the online PowerPoint and textbook. Most of our assignments are easy you just have to do your work. One thing I loved about his class is that he let you use the PowerPoint and textbook on tests and he gives you a lot of time to get all your assignment turned in.
He responded promptly if I had questions about assignments. Learned a lot about a subject that a new little about before taking his class. He is very knowledgeable about art.
This course will open your eyes to art. Great learning materials and a chance to see things you have never seen or thought of before.
I took this class over summer and would take again! He was very straight forward with his expectations for the class. There were no surprises when it came to tests as well. His tests were open book which was really nice. He truly wants you to succeed.
Awesome! Helps with any problems you may have!
Professor White provides a clear comprehension through his teaching. He gives you all of the information you need to complete assignments and pass exams through his online lectures.
I took Mr. White's online Art Appreciation class over the summer and loved every moment of it. He provided so much information and the course was very inspiring to my own art. The discussion posts were thought out, instructions clear, and he responded very quickly when I had questions. I would definitely recommend taking his class.
Professor White is great. His class is very structured and assignments are easy to follow!
Stay ahead of your assignments and show effort and he will award you. Really loved this class.
That if you have any issues or questions you can always email him and the professor will reply very soon. After every assignment, you will get feedback from him, that you can learn from your answers.
It's a self paced class so if that's not your thing then consider taking it in person.
i hope i wrote this about the right class was little confusing but art 1301 i enjoyed it thanks for opening me to art.
Professor Derrick is an amazing art teacher he is super passionate about all art. He encourages his students to press their creativity and helps them develop their artistic skills.
You did a great job thank you for your feedback mr white
Professor Whites class was great although some of the assignments was unclear on what to respond on and the grading system was a little wonky. I really learned a lot about art and would love to prefer others to take this class.
I enjoyed this course with Mr. White. It was very clear what was expected and as long as you do that, you will make an A. Mr. White was very understanding
This is a great class to take to earn an honors credit.
I really think Derrick's class was very educational. I feel the class work was fair and clear. He is clear on dead lines but gives you ample time to complete. Overall really great class. would highly recommend!
Professor White is a very understanding professor, small easy assignments, highly recommended.
Super awesome professor with clear guidelines and lots of flexibility.
Professor Derrick White is really creative and he makes his class interesting, his assignments are not boring and really easy to do.
it was a very easy class just do your work and hell pass you
Derrick White was a great professor. I would highly recommend he to anyone needing to take Art Appreciate. Not only did I learn a lot art but made it very fun to learn about art. I really enjoyed the PowerPoints that where put together and all the different art one shown.
Professor White is great and very easy to work with and gives feedback on all of your assignments.
Thank you for an amazing semester, I did enjoy your class very much.
Professor White is an amazing professor, reading material provided by him was interesting. Taking this course really awakened appreciation for Art in me.
Honestly he did not ask for much the entire semester. He would provides extra credit at the end and all of his assignments were discussions, which are not hard at all. I definitely recommend his class if you need something easy.
He was a great professor and graded our assignments in a timely manner. He is cool dude. This class has really opened my "artistic" horizons.
professor white is a great teacher. Easy going.
I feel like he was a great teacher. At first I was thinking there's no way I can do art on a computer , but he definintally found a way . The work course wasn't to much and we were given plenty of time to get it done
This class was very fun and I learned about so many artists that I have never heard about! Teacher was nice and graded well.
He is a good proffesor just have to get your work done
Great course!
Best professor , all you have to do is meet the requirements do your work and YOU ARE GOOD!
If you wait too late to turn in work you will have a whole bunch of work to do.
He is awesome and cares about his students. He is very knowledgeable about the course and knows how to lecture students.
Even if it was an online class he was really engaging and always willing to help. Would love to take an in person class.
Great professor. Always willing to help
This was a really great class
I took it as a winter course and it was the PERFECT course for this. It felt tailor made to be a winter course as all the assignments were made available at the start of the course. There were 2 types of grades, discussion where we replied to the topic assigned without responses to students and 4 tests open book. The discussions weren't hard 10/10.
I did one of his online classes. As longer as you keep up with the due dates you will be fine. He lays all the work out right in front of you so it is hard to fail if you are putting work in. There are a lot of decision post so be ready for that. Nice guy and I would take him again.
Wonderful professor, he is very understanding and great at his job. 10/10 in my opinion!!!!
Good and overall easy class!
Professor White is very understanding, the course itself is very enjoyable! Allows you to learn more about art! Would definitely take again!
I had this professor for an online class and the work was very easy and fun. Most of it was just watching movie trailers or documentaries and commenting on what you found to be interesting. Overall a good class and a fun professor.
Derrick White was a great professor, I really enjoyed this class.
He really easy and understanding
Mostly just discussions and youtube videos. Tests were easy, and it was overall an interesting class to take!
Professor White and his class content was very easy going. His assignments were clear and instructions were helpful. He made sure to always leave a little note on my work which was reassuring. I enjoyed his class.
One of the more relaxed professors made taking my first online class highly enjoyable. Gives clear instructions and expectations for his assignments and grades more so on the quality of work and effort.
Professor White is a great professor! Fun class, and caring instructor!
Awesome Class! Would take again and recommend to anyone interested in taking an art class. Work is easy as long as you don't wait until the last possible moment to do it. Professor White is quick to respond and grade your work.
I took this course for the Spring semester and really liked the fact that it was divided up into four sections with all assignments due at the end of each section, you can complete them at your own pace rather than having set due dates for each thing. Made it much easier to complete at times when I wasn't overwhelmed by workload in other classes.
Very helpful and detailed with assignments. Will post helpful or encouraging comments. He mailed me a copy of the workbook for free being that I don't live in Tyler.
Derrick White helped encourage peer and community involvement and showcased student art, encouraging students and their abilities. He was helpful with feedback and supportive of artistic ideas, I really enjoyed this class.
Professor White is one of the most innovative, knowledgeable, experienced, passionate and caring instructors I know. His ability to relate to the students enables them to work in a stress free and creative environment and also to be the very best versions of themselves.
Hey Guys I just finished Professor Derrick White's May-Mester course and it was fun. I genuinely learned a lot about art and how to be more critical of it. Overall, I would definitely recommend the course.
Online lectures were clear and informative. Test questions were taken directly from the materials. Professor is easily accessible and responds quickly to questions.
The professors teaching style was one you would definitely want for the future. His lectures were easy to understand and were very informative.
I took this online and loved the layout of the course. There are discussion questions however they are not like traditional courses where you basically make up a reply to other students. He wants your genuine thoughts and interpretations of the art. Stay on top of the discussion questions, pay attention to the due dates, and tests are open book.
The professor's professional was excellent I love the lectures he had for us learn more art than ever before.
I learned a lot about different types of art, and Professor Derrick put them together in a very interesting and visually appealing way with slides.
Professor White does a great job of making you feel seen in an online and fast-paced environment. I really enjoyed this class and felt supported.
Professor White's class was straightforward: just do the work, and you'll get an A. It was open book, so he suggested buying the optional textbook for reference on tests and homework. His teaching made art appreciation both accessible and rewarding.
I enjoyed this class. I'm a procrastinator so don't make the same mistake as me and wait til the last minute. Even though I did, Prof. White's lectures are easy to follow and very informative and I was able to do most of them in one day.
Mr White was amazing, the course is built for you to take something away even if you didn't want to learn about it which I found phenomenal! Thank you!
This class was a breath of fresh air! Mr. White is an exceptional teacher and he helped guide me through my difficulties. I would take this class again!
Art is not my favorite topic, and before I took this class, I tried to avoid anything to do with it. But, after taking this class, I found a newfound appreciation for art. I really appreciate all the resources he gave students in order for them to complete all assignments. Would recommend this class to other future students.
Mr. White will give guidance and encouragement. He responds quickly to emails and is a very creative teacher, making him a wonderful artist and professor.
The professor is very understanding and easy to work with. The class itself is very easy and not hard. I was never stressed or confused. Everything is layed out to where you know where everything is at. All the tests and quizzes were easy to do. I enjoyed the class a lot and I would do it again.
Very helpful
Art was never something I actually enjoyed. After taking this class I'm actually pretty happy about learning the art museums that are near me. It makes you look and think about art you may have seen but never pay attention to.
I love his artwork and I love his sense of humor but this course was a wild ride. Happy to have it done.
Wanted a lot of engagement via discussion posts. Lots of exhibits to go through.
You should try this class! I've learned a ton from class and checked out the different perspectives and styles on the museum websites our teacher recommended. Each artist profile brings something fresh and unique, and it's given me a lot of new ideas for my own art. It's a cool experience!
Really enjoyed Professor White's lectures - he breaks down complex art topics in an engaging way. Unstuckstudy AI was a big help for studying and prep.
Very easy class! Made Art interesting by showing different perspectives and included film making in art. Very creative yet easy assignments! Would definitely retake a class with him.
There are a lot of discussions which is not something I'm used to but the professor does the best he can for an online class.
I actually genuinely enjoyed this course! I typically do not find enjoyment in learning about art history, but this course taught it to us in a fun way! I definitely appreciated the use of videos in assignments rather than assigning us lengthy paragraphs to read. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who asks me in the future.
I really enjoy taking this class, and honestly look forward to the assignments each week. I feel like I am always interested in the assignments for the week and I really enjoy the clips/videos we watch!
I really enjoyed this class! Professor Derrick White was easy going and loved that he graded quickly. The art material covered was genuinely interesting and I loved that professor White would throw some comedy into it. I definitely recommend this art class to anyone!
Not a lot of difficult assignments, but be make sure to have decent English skills and set time aside for watching a fair amount of movies and trailers.
This class was a lot of fun! Getting to sit back and learn about art and consume different medias of art was a refreshing break from the heavy academics of other classes. The professor isn't a hard grader at all, and as long as you do the work and put thought into what you write, you'll be completely fine!
Great and awesome class. Would retake this class if I could. The instructions were straightforward and got straight to the point! He will not let you fail this class!
I had fun and the class worked really well with my work schedules
This online art class was very fun to take as an 8 week course. I needed an art credit to be core complete but did not want to take something took too much time. In the end it was neat to learn some concepts of art.
He is a very good professor, just do the easy assignments and it will be a breeze.
An excellent professor that is true to his job. He made sure I was understanding each assignment and was very hilarious along his power points. I really enjoyed taking this class, and I'm sure I would of enjoyed it even more if had taken it face to face.
This Professor does not give difficult assignments, and really helps you understand art more. I never cared for art, and now it has caught my attention due to this class.
I really enjoyed this class and the professor is great!
I really enjoyed the course. I learned a lot about many talented artists, museums, and art websites. There are a lot of discussions, but they are not difficult. Professor White can see if you are putting in effort into your discussion response, I recommend getting the assignments done early and taking your time.
The class was very easy and understanding, there wasn't a lot of work but when there was it was kinda a lot to do in little amount of time, unless you are the type of person to sit and do all the work in one day. But overall it was very simple and easy.
Great if you need help he'll guide you
I think Professor White is a wonderful art professor that genuinely cares about his students and shows a lot of passion with his job. He is very smart and knows how to teach his students to understand more about the class.
I learned so much in this class! The professor is kind, funny and very talented in all areas of art. It was an absolute blast!
I literally loved this class. It was so simple to follow along through the lectures and assignments. He also grades your work like as soon as you turn it in, or at least the day of. His work is all posted the day you start the class so you can do it on your time schedule. I definitely recommend this class especially for the 3 week mini mester!
Overall, the class is not hard. The professor communicates great, which is a huge bonus, since I have had professors who do not! There was ALOT of discussion posts, but I took it in 3 weeks. So having 50 discussions is a lot. The discussions were fairly simple though, and his grading seemed very fair, as long as you put some effort.
Professor White gave assignments that were made clear and understandable for one to complete. I enjoyed doing this online course.
The assignments given by Professor White were both easy to understand and informative. This was a great and enjoyable online class to take.
This was easily the best class I've ever taken. The professor was the best I've ever had. I would take this class a thousand times over. This class has forms of art for everyone including movies, short films, music, paintings, sculptures, and more. I would recommend that anyone who needs a fine arts credit take this class.
He works well with others as long as you communicate, he accommodates.
I enjoyed this class! Amazing teacher and great vibes!!
I took the online 7-week flex course. It was a lot to pack into 7 weeks but still manageable. a lot of discussion posts, 1 group analysis, & 4 tests. Mr. White is a great teacher and I would recommend taking his class. I was someone with very little knowledge of art, and it was a very enlightening course.
he was great and graded quickly!
Derrick White's class is incredibly easy to pass, as long as you participate in the discussion posts, which are easy to do because it's art and your opinion and you literally can't be wrong. Also, much to my irritation, a handful of students would use AI to do their discussion post, and they remained unnoticed by the professor. So there's that.
Very good professor, it was an online class so there were just so many online lectures to read but i enjoyed it
This class was absolutely incredible, and I honestly wish this professor taught other core subjects because I would sign up in a heartbeat. He was always available to answer any questions I had and approached every concern with such understanding and patience. He's just amazing—definitely a 10/10 in my book!
Mr. White was very clear on what needed to be done. He responded fast when you asked a question. I learned a lot about art I never knew. I would definitely take his class again.
He is amazing
Great professor !! Caring and nice ! Really easy. Just do your work!
Amazing professor, I will absolutely miss his class.
Great professor, very personable and understanding.
This class was self paced and very easy to complete. I enjoyed the freedom. The course was PowerPoints, discussions, and tests. I appreciated the very easy work.
the beginning can be very hard and confusing but when you start to read carefully and focus more. then you'll be able to do everything correct and deserve the grade you work for.
Took an online course and it all the PowerPoints and the textbook (optional), were very helpful to get an A in this class. As long as you read everything that's given, and reach out for help, if necessary, you will easily pass this class.
Very fun professor. Loved working at my own pace and reading what he shared.
Professor White sets up for his online class , even during the summer course very easy to follow and easy to understand directions. Everything was extremely organized and well put together and was able to get all the studying/information needed to do all the discussion assignment's. Who doesn't love open book online tests?
I really enjoyed this course and learned way more than I expected. Before taking it, I didn't have much knowledge about art history or different movements, but now I can recognize and appreciate everything from Renaissance painting to modern installation art. The way the lectures were organized made the material interesting and easy to follow.
i thought he was very professional and taught the subjects very well online
I took the Summer class and I enjoyed the ability to finish the discussions at my own pace. I learned a lot about art processes and artists that I had never heard of. Professor White messaged weekly and was always available to help with problems. I recommend this class and professor.
The online class has been my favorite so far. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy this much. I loved learning about the history of art and everything that comes with making/experiencing art. Anyone can easily enjoy this class with a positive mindset going into the lecture.
You would have to try to fail. Just enjoy it. It's clear he cares about the class, you should too.
He's amazing as long as you prioritize your work you shouldn't have a problem with this class at all.
I enjoyed this quick trip through the history of art. Professor White's podcast was professionally done and easy to listen to. I used the online lectures to follow along as I listened. They coincided with one another, making it easy to learn the material. The class covered every aspect of the art world. I would recommend your class to others.
Professor White actually reads and response to your disscion post. He is also very easy to get in contact with when you have question about the course ( I took this course online ) so normally it is hard to get help. 10/10 Recommend this professor !
Easy class, keeps you aware of the due dates, and assignments are easy but interesting. Super chill class, and would recommend anyone to take it.
He was amazing. Caring, detailed in his lessons, fair, and gives extra credit. One of the best teachers I have ever had.
Great class. Super easy, very laidback, and the professor is very kind. I loved every assignment I did. 100% would take again.
Derrick White was a great professor. If you take the class seriously and stay on top of your assigments in a timely fashion it is very enjoyable. Even someone like myself that is not the least bit artistic can still learn and participate in the class.
I have really enjoyed this class. It was like staying in museums, that I loved but right at home.
I loved the class and the teacher! Recommend to anyone looking for an art credit or art course.
I enjoyed the class and got more out of it than I thought I would. If you want to appreciate art, Professor White gives you that opportunity and doesn't hold you back. If you're looking for an online summer class I would highly recommend.
I think his class is very easy and with all the information provided to us from our lessons it makes it easy to learn the material without problems.
This is an interesting and amazing class, with a great instructor. I have learned that there is a deeper meaning behind art. The entire course was definitely one to look back on.
He is a very good professor. Assignments are clear and fairly easy, If I could I would definitely take this course again.
