Do the bonus in this class and you'll be fine. He has quizs every week but even if you fail them all like me you can still get an A.

one of the better teachers i'vehad. he really made us think about the things we read and interpret them into our OWN thoughts and ideas, not what we THOUGHT he wanted to hear. semi- tough course but in the end am greatful to have had him as a teacher.

Don't let the first couple of classes scare you. This guy is an awesome teacher! He really makes you think! You do a lot of group work and he makes it fun as hell! :o)

Very good teacher! He is so funny. AS long as you read and take notes in class you'll do good. Make sure you check your word count on essays!

GOOD TEACHER EASY AAAAA

1 of the best teachers ive ever had. he'll really make u think about things. very interesting and fun discussions. ull never take notes. limited amount of papers. hes not the easiest grader but an awesome teacher! very enjoyable!!

Professor White is the best professor ever. He really makes you think and grades your papers pretty tough. The class discussions are great and he's a very easy going guy. Take this professor EASY A!!! Professor White is AWSOME!!

I was just looking back at the stuff I wrote for his class...WOW...we wrote about things I don't think many english profs would dare to touch...homosexuality, for instance. He really makes you think but can be creepy at times. Still was an easy A and that makes all the difference in the world!!!

HE IS A GOOD TEACHER. REALLY MAKES U STOP AND THINK ABOUT THINGS. GRADES PAPERS TOUGH THOUGH. OVER ALL HE IS A HELPFUL PROFESSOR, NICE EASY GOING GUY, CARES IF U PASS OR NOT AND TRIES TO HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE U DO PASS THE CLASS! ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS I HAD! REALLY ENJOYED THE CLASS!

Excellent all around professor. Lectures are group discussions- you watch plays and there are no tests to study for. Three easy quizzes worth 100+ points just reflect the discussions in class. Take good notes and don't miss class!

Pr. White is a really good teacher. He explains himself clearly. He's kinda funny and makes classwork fun to do sometimes. The class is mostly group discussions and essays. The topics are really interesting most of the time. He involves everyone in the class which makes the group discussions better. Overall I think he's a really good teacher.

Excellent class and very good professor. Actually teaches and the course is very interesting. Be prepared to work hard because midterm, final and presentations are worth a lot. Also be ready to participate...lot of points. Definitely take this course with White because he teaches, unlike some professors.

He is nice, and tries to make the class interesting, and get the students involved. Read the assignments, go to class and you will have at least a C. Do more work and you'll have yourself a B or C.

Prof White is a very nice guy! his class was basically just reading and busy work. with every tuesday in the lab...i really enjoyed taking him and he def made me a better writer...he is always there to help you whenever you need him! he does grade kinda tough though, but if you give it your best you will get at least a B. he doesnt give A's on pape

This class was horrible. I hate speaking in front of people so I took it in the summer. I got a B but really had to work for it. I wish they would eliminate this class. The professor wasn't to bad the class just sucked.

interperating lit....way too easy!!! show up for class, answer the questions, participate in dicussions, and read the material and your good to go! he does not believe in giving tests which is awesome. sometimes he will have a 'quiz' but it is not graded, but rather goes toward the area of participation. he thinks outside the box!! which is cool!

hist. & dev. of english, dunno the #. dry sense of humor, people who don't get it think he's frigid. helpful and knows his stuff. if you want english as a career, you need grad school. if you're going that way, you can learn a great deal from him. if you're going to do something else, you can still do well. he just provides the opportunity.

he is a really easy man if u get on his good side!!!

Probably the best english professor I ever had! I was never very good with anything like this. but he made everything easy to understand! He always took a different approach to everything which always made it interesting! Loved the class. I would DEF. recommend taking him:)

Professor White is very cool. His lectures can sometimes be a tad boring, or make no sense but you get it in the end. The reflections we have to do are stupid but thats about the only work you have to do until the end of the semester when you have to write a few poems. Oh, and If you don't know an answer, just say "I don't know", it works. Easy A.

VERY EASY PROFESSOR awesome professor, makes classes easy, does not believe in tests for the majority of the classes he teaches. very easy going professor and has a passion for teaching and his english. if you want an easy class, take him

Prof white is the most easiest, awesomest professor ever!!! I had his lit class at 8am, and it was still awardly fun. All you have to do is go to class and do what he says and he will give you an A. He cancels class often, and sometimes he just lets you leave when he feels like it. And for the final you have to do a 5 min ppt. Easy as cake.

Dr. White is extremely easy only have to write a few 2 page papers but he loves history all we write about is history

My favorite Dr. Father in the world

nice guy. willing to help and funny. no text. he provides reading via blackboard. read mostly historical documents like gettysburg address and chief seattles speech. kinda hard topics. gotta bs your way thru. first week go over reading. second week write 1 1/2 paper. thrid week meeting with him no class. fourth revise to 4 pages.

Dr. White is the man! At first, he and his class were indimidating. After a few weeks, though, he was great! I learned a lot from his class and I urge you to take him. He also gives a take home final. :)

This class was pretty cool. You write about 4 papers and you hardly have to go in to class. There are conferences for every paper due that you have to read out loud to him. I liked the class. He's a good teacher and he makes you re-read and prof read your paper constantly. I recommend him!

He is a decent professor. There are 4 documents that you read and have to write reports on. Overall not a difficult class as long as you go over the different documents of the things he doesn't want in the paper.

i absolutely love prof white! hes a great teacher & he makes you think. there is reflections every week and a presentation at the end of the semester. the class is fairly easy, the exams & reflections are opinionated so its hard to do bad in this class.

Dr. White is a great teacher. I had him for college writing, if you do everything that is expected from you, you will get an A. He is my favorite professor thus far. I also took him for interpreting literature. The class is the same. Take him, you will love him and the class.

Dr. White is the best English prof I've had at SRU! As long as you go to class and turn everything in on time you should get a good grade.

Dr. White is a great professor. :) He makes Native American Literature actually interesting, and gets the group involved. Be prepared for him to go around the room answering a question though. Haha. There are two 400 word reader responses every week, but not bad at all, because that's basically all the homework. Second time taking him, and loving this class. RECOMMEND!

Very interesting class until the last 2 weeks when he just talks about his book. He loves to hear what the class has to say and I felt very comfortable participating. He says, "Hmmm, interesting" about 46 times a class; he's funny and entertaining as well. His tests were difficult, but nothing impossible. Go to class and you'll enjoy it.

I love Dr White! I'm only a freshman but he's my favorite teacher so far. I had him for college writing and I plan on taking him for int. lit. He was a little intimidating at first but eventually he became really hilarious and he really makes you think about other perspective's other than the predominantly white thought we have today. Recommended:)

My favorite professor I've had so far, and this is my third year here. I can't believe his ratings are so low. Yeah his class isn't easy but he challenges you, which is why you're at college anyways. He has funny stories and I feel comfortable going to his office and talking to him about anything. Would DEFINITELY take him again.

Dr. White is very approachable and cares about his students. It's definitely not an easy course to take but it's worth it. You have to write two 400 word essays per week along with several other papers. Great guy.

Easy class, and Dr. White is a character and makes everything interesting and fun. All you do is two 400 word papers a week, and three/four big papers the year and they're easy.

Dr. White is a very interesting professor. He has a very dry sense of humor which if you appreciate like I do you'll find him pretty hilarious. For Interpreting Lit he'll make the class read the work and then give a lecture about the subject but he keeps it pretty interesting so you won't get bored. There's a reflection and a response due each week

I absolutely loved my Interpreting Literature class with Dr. White. There are NO TEST. A response and a reflection 400 words every week, and only a few projects. It is a very easy and enjoyable class. Make sure you keep up with your work which shouldn't be hard and turn everything in. Book: need it but you can print off the reading.. take it!!!

I am currently a junior and had Dr. White my freshman year, but there is still no professor I enjoy like him. Even though it has been a while since I had him in a class, he is still willing to help me in other classes. I go to him if I need my BIO paper proof read or ideas for my Philosophy paper. He is so willing to help you succeed in everything

I loved his Critical Reading class! I was always intrigued by his lectures and never bored! We have writing assignments usually every week but they don't take long and they're easy! Tough grader but a lot of chances to make up missed points. I got a lot from this class and HIGHLY recommend it.

Dr. White is a fantastic professor. I was worried because of the reviews here, but he is not bad at all. He is strict with things but awesome at what he does.

Dr. White is my favorite English professor of the ones I've had. Values each student's opinion and gets everyone to participate. There's a lot of writing to do each week but as long as you put the work in you shouldn't have a problem passing.

Let's be real. It's an English class. If you don't expect to read or write papers, then you shouldn't be taking an English class. His grading is not harsh. As long as you put thought into the papers and assignments, your grade will be fine. Take this class and his lessons to heart. Every lesson he teaches can impact your life in one way or another.

Dr. White was by far one of my favorite professors here at SRU! His grading can be tough here and there, but by going to talk to him it's very helpful and he truly cares about his students. It's a college English class, so of course he is going to treat is such way. I recommend him.

Dr. White was by far one of my favorite professors I have ever had! It was a very intersting class and I never thought I would enjoy it, but to my pleasant suprise, it was a super fun class. A ton of great discussions and it really makes you think. Fantastic professor.

The BEST prof at Slippery Rock University. I encourage everyone to take any class possible with this amazing man. Truly passionate about his subject and his students. Work is hard, but so interesting. PARTICIPATE IN CLASS! He really blossoms and becomes a new person when a bold student is in the class; don't be intimidated by him. Loved this class.

Spring 2016 for critical reading. Strictest attendance policy of any professor I've had, solemn demeanor, tough grader, and yet one of my favorite professors at SRU. Three stories to read and at least two papers of 500 words per week, not including three larger essays throughout the semester. No tests, no final, at least when I took him.

Fall 2016 for native american literature. Strictest attendance policy I've seen, dry humor, and one of my favorites at SRU. Read three stories with two personal reflection papers per week, not including the essay and 10 minute presentation combo project with a partner. This was one of my favorite classes at SRU, despite my non English major.

Critical Reading. Cant say Ive had a class that Ive liked more. This class changed my life. Dr. White cares so much about you. The class Itself is an illusion. He moves you to think deeply. Through it, I worked out some of problems and thoughts and opinions through reading, writing and discussion. His grading is honest. He looks to improve you.

His class is very chill and fun to attend. His lectures relate to things you care about. He gives multiple chances to fix your paper and the topics are very interesting. There are 4 main papers each have a reflection and a wrap-up but they are only 400 words and the papers are about 3 pages. I HATE writing but he made it enjoyable.

Okay, so Dr. White seems very intimidating at first, you just have to crack him. He LOVES students that participate. He is very down to Earth and really cares about his students. If you get to know him he is a very sweet man. As long as you speak out and show interest in the class you will be fine. Sitting quiet in the corner will get you no where.

Dr. White was a great professor when taking his class via zoom. He likes to involve every student and make sure that everyone has a clear understanding of what is going on in class. He assigns a lot of writing assignments (usually 2 a week) but they aren't hard as long as you read the assigned reading which usually is fairly short.

Dr. White is one of my favorite profs! The textbook is a valuable resource that I appreciate having and will use outside of class which is a first for me! Dr. White is a super interesting and kind person. He has lots of cool stories and examples of real-life applications of the concepts learned in Linguistics. Totally recommend!

Dr. White is the best professor ive had so far. He is very caring and respectful. I was sick a lot this semester and he was completely fine with it. He gave me loads of advice for my next 4 years, even what vitamins to take to feel better. Easy to get along with, easy to pass, befriend your professors and the course gets so much easier.

Dr. White can seem intimidating to students at first, but that is just his personality. His linguistics class was hard to get the hang of, and I admittedly slacked. His testing method was stressful; I remember having to set up an appointment for a 1on1 test. He was lenient when he didn't have to be. He has an interesting background. Recommend him.

Dr. White is an amazing professor and a tough grader, but he wants to see you succeed. If you are shocked to receive low grades in this class because you were an A plus student in high school, new flash! You are in college now and it's tough. You need to apply yourself and do the research. If you need assistance, he is willing to meet with you.

Dr. White is the most genuine professor I have ever met. He helped me in my life in so many ways & he is incredibly intelligent. I noticed people wining over grading and amount of work, it seems they have forgotten they are in a COLLEGE level course; He treats it as such. If you need help he is MORE than happy to assist, just speak up & participate

He seems intimidating at first but he really does care about your grade. He is highly intelligent and challenges his students to be better. He offers opportunities to fix your papers for extra credit. He also has quite a few other extra credit opportunities. He does grade hard but if you participate in class and engage I it will be better.

He is an amazing professor the best one SRU has to offer.

Dr. White is one of the best professors I have come across. He really does care about his students and their education. SRU is lucky to have him. One of the nicest profs once you get to know him. Helped me feel more responsible for my own education, which I didn't expect. Oh and he's got an extremely interesting backstory. Happy to have known him!

I LOVE Dr. White!!!!! He is tough when it comes to grading, but it only pushes you to be better. He teaches his students how to think critically and for themselves by going around in a circle and having everyone participate. Once you get past the anxiety of participating, it is extremely fun and his lectures are always very interesting and useful!

Dr. White really cared about his students and how much they improved throughout the year. He definitely grades very hard on essays if you are used to a high school level grading criteria.

His class is so much fun and he is hilarious. Very interactive with his students and gets to know everyone.

Dr. White is awesome, his pink email at the beginning of the semester was fascinating and it seemed like it was going to be TERRIBLE. I was thankfully wrong because his interactions and the way he teaches are so smart and to the point. He is funny, knowledgeable, and great with many interesting thoughts and ideas. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Dr. White's class is challenging but rewarding. He pushes students to think critically, with engaging lectures and mandatory participation. The textbook and Unstuckstudy were helpful for exam prep.

Dr. White is incredibly thought-provoking, challenging students with unique and unconventional perspectives on the meaning of life. His classes demand effort, but the reward is a transformative shift in understanding. For those who are ready to think deeply and question their assumptions, his courses are truly unforgettable.

He's not even that bad. He's an honest man who may seem harsh, but he's pretty chill and has some good takes. He does grade kind of harshly on the papers, but that can be a good thing if you're going into a professional field that requires good writing skills. Compared to other critical writing teachers i've seen, he's not bad at all with workload.
