Not a great teacher, but definately a good one. She sometimes gets off of the subject but for the most part her lectures have direction. If you need help with something she is more than willing to help. She does expect you to read the book, if you don't, you can't do good in the class.

She had the students teaching the class half of the time. She would fall behind and then divide the sections amongst groups and have them make and present a chapter to the class.

VERY DISORGANIZED. You have to move through each assignment to get to the next. The due dates are not clear. No structure to this class whatsoever. I'm typically organized a week in advance & this class was so inconsiderate of ppl's schedules & time. No consistency & last minute assignments were due. I hadn't turned anything in late in 3 yrs.

Professor White is very disorganized doesn't take accountability for the many broken links, poorly written tests, and late grading. I sense she has issues with technology, and she makes you scramble last minute to finish assignments impacted by her inadequacies.

The entire semester she was extremely disorganized and she ended up not posting two of the modules. She consistently posted her modules multiple days late and didn't start to grade any assignments until a couple weeks after midterms, and this was an 8 week class. I was left wondering what grade I actually had for the entire semester. Don't do it.

Professor White does not respond to any emails asking for help or clarification. I emailed her on three different occasions asking for clarification and she never answered. Her class is also very disorganized and she posted things late all the time. I don't recommend taking her class.

Dr Gailynn White does not respond to Emails, but will sometimes, respond to comments on her announcements. She is not on time with posting assignments or grading homework. We had one large project that took quite a lot of time and it was NEVER graded.

Dr.White takes forever to post modules for the next week,and is very disorganized.Takes even longer to grade assignments. Very annoying how I couldn't track/know my actual grade throughout the semester.Her feedback is very confusing and just blah. Just do all your work and follow the directions/criteria thoroughly and you'll be fine.
