I had her my first semester, and I am now garduating in 4 months...to this day, she is BY FAR the worst teacher I had at SU. There was more wiritng in that class than there was in my english classes. incredibly boring. Take my advice, DO NOT take her

horrible - horrible

she belongs in a grade school

Still not sure what this class was actually about. but i do know she likes to dress up as historical figures when gardening, thanks a lot xena i no longer consider myself a history scholar.

If you love to write..then shes your match. Worse teacher I've ever had! I understand its college, but I had more work for this class than for all my others combined. Most boring woman ever. Nice, but extremely hard and boring.

Dr. Whitney is a disgrace of a professor and she makes the class boring and is a harsh grader. She has the class take online quizzes, write long papers, do projects, and when test time came we only had 1 question on it and it was an essay and all that was project/homework related is irrelevant to the test. Don't recommend taking her class at all.

Dr. Whitney is an incredibly hard grader for starters, there is an insane amount of assignments to the point you lose track because she assigns work before a current assignment is even due. She is extremely knowledgeable in history but teaches in the utmost boring way that your watching the clock all class long. Avoid her if all you need is a GenEd

She is an incredibly difficult grader, and lectures about completely irrelevant things. Speaks in a monotone, and gives excessive work. Classes are incredibly boring, and unfortunately mandatory due to the fact that she deducts participation points after two missed classes. Also has no sympathy when it comes to due dates. Try to avoid this class!

Just awful.

She is the worst teacher. She knows what she's talking about but she's just so boring when she talks. she's a very hard grader. She has essays and grades them like you're in an English class. I would NOT take her. she's a nice person but not a good history professor. she does know what she's talking about though. this class is BORING!

Think long and hard about someone you hate. Someone who you just really really don't like. This person, in your mind, sucks eggs. If you could, you would fight this person to the death and 10 times out of 10 you would win. You would rather eat an infant child than make friends with this person. Guys. This accurately describes Whitney. Don't do it.

She's kind of the worst. She grades really hard for no reason, and there's a paper every other week. The quizzes are hard unless you remember everything you read in the textbook. She lectures the whole entire class but the lectures don't really help with anything, attendance counts towards your grade. &she has reading quizzes in the form of essays

Strict due dates and lots of homework. Has no sympathy for any situations and is very boring

For an educator who relies so much on her lectures to convey information, you think she'd use less "ums" and "uhs" and find a way to avoid students falling asleep in her class. Attendance counts but if you skip even once you're liable to miss so much information you fail the whole class anyway.

Basically everything that you've read about Dr. Whitney in the reviews below are true. Probably the worst when it comes to actually teaching and communicating with the class. Expects you to know the textbook like the back of your hand, and tests are hard too. Mono-toned af and boring in lecture. Avoid at all costs.

Awful. Lectures are boring. She is difficult to interact with in class and especially outside class: screams a lot! You need to attend all the boring classes to pass, but it is not a difficult task if you don't mind what she babbles.

Avoid this teacher! She mumbles throughout the entire class, will not give out rubrics for the dozens of papers she assigns, and her grading makes no sense since she wont tell you what she's looking for. And probably worst off, her lectures consist of her talking about one thing, while the powerpoint covers completely different information.

She is very boring (monotone voice, excessive talking). In lecture, she puts barely anything on her PowerPoints, so you need to pay attention to understand. She is a very picky grader, but doesn't explain what she wants, and doesn't give you a heads up when something is due. There are a lot of online assignments, so remember due dates!

One of the most boring teachers ever! She assigns papers constantly based on long readings and provides no helpful feedback on what she actually wants. She does not participate in test reviews and is fine letting the whole class study a review that is completely wrong. P.S. all of your exams are timed essays that she expects to be perfect quality.

Sweet lady, but terrible professor. Just do not even go down that road, switch into a different class asap before it's too late.

Had to drop this class halfway through the semester because Whitney was such a terrible professor. If you take her class, expect to teach yourself all the content and do extensive and useless papers every single week. Attendance is mandatory, yet she just rambles for 50 minutes and then tests you on things she never talked about once. Dont take it

She is sweet but talks way to much. She gives way to much information a lot of which we do not use. What we learn in class and do outside of class reflects very little on the tests. This semester for the first exam over half the class failed... she cares but i would try to get some one else.

Professor Whitney is something else... she seems to know what she's talking about but man is she a bore. Her lectures are basically useless as it seems most classes she doesn't even plan what she is going to say ahead of time. The requirements she place seem absurd but those might just be enforced by the department. Good luck, you're on your own.

This class was one of the worst I've taken at here. Whitney did not speak clear in her lectures, and the words on her slides only make sense in her head. None of the slides are in complete sentences or even thoughts. Whitney also doesn't make your grade available the whole year so you are left guessing. She has been teaching for far too long.

I would not recommend taking Dr. Whitney. Her lectures were long and not entertaining. The slideshows she displayed during the lecture had barely any words so it was hard to take detailed notes. She is an extremely tough grader. She would not provide much feedback on your essays unless you specifically ask her. I would definitely avoid her.

Lectures are long-winded and wrong. Made a pedagogically false statement that the civil war was fought due to northern aggression, which leaves gross implications that make me question her understanding of history and slavery. Do not take unless you want confederate dogma. But, if you want to take a nap, her rambling lectures are a good lullaby.

Do not take this professor

She is the most boring professor I have ever taken. She talks super slowly and only puts a few words on her slides. She's nice, but I do not recommend her.

Mrs. Whitney is a very nice lady, but she's a very boring professor to listen to. Her style of teaching does not accommodate my learning style which is why it was hard for me to retain the concepts discussed in class. Her PowerPoints aren't helpful for studying and her feedback didn't help me improve. She's a nice person, but a terrible professor.
