funny guy.....hella tite

awsome!! so funny, but still manages to teach you heaps and keep you thinking

Awesome funny guy, lots of learnin.

The most interesting class I ever took. And J WHite is the funniest and happiest guy I ever met

This guy is so damn cool

Steve Martin in the classroom, always entertaining, and YES, he makes YOU think!

Funny delivery, high expectations and enjoys his subject immensely!

Absolutely brilliant! He's got a good sense of humor, and has a "song and dance" for everything. He will always make time to help you understand the material, and he cares about his students' well-being. Explains things very well.

everyone should take philosophy. reading the great philosophers and talking about profound ideas in a class brings eudaimonia. thanks to all of you philosophy teachers for keeping the fires of wonderment burning these past few thousand years.

Simply put, next to the beloved Dr. Lawyer, the best teacher on the SBCC campus, bottom line.

Absolutely fabulous teacher. He’s funny beyond all reason. Very intelligent and knows his subject. Favorite class I’ve taken at the college. Don’t be fooled though, philosophy is a difficult subject and you must be open-minded for it will change you.

Joe White is my favorite teacher of all time. The man has an incredibly sharp wit- but an even sharper intellect! As I've often said before: Joe White looks like the devil himself and is twice as shrewd.

He has got to be the funniest teacher ever. I love going to his class. He makes the lectures so invogorating, although the readings can be a bit dense. Take this class with him!!!

My favorite teacher ever. Hilarious. He really makes you think while you laugh your ass off. Great class.

Awesome lecturer who will keep you entertained but boggle your mind at the same time. Be sure to keep up in the notebook or you will regret it later on in the semester. Take advantage of extra credit opportunities.

nice guy

Cool teacher, hard class, gotta stay on your reading.

hard class but he is EXTREMELY smart and helpful to his students. don't be intimidated, go into office hourse and he will help you out to no end. also, a really funny guy, you will bust up laughing atleast 2x every class.

He is full of energy and is so funny in class. His tests can be tricky, but this is a class one has to take.

Most over-rated teacher at sbcc

A very challenging class but he makes it worth while. He is extremely intelligent, yet has one of the best senses of humor Ive seen from a professor. Id have to say it is a must-take at CC.

Joe is an amazing teacher. He is the most intelligent person I ever met with a great sense of humor. I've never laughed so much in a class. The class is pretty hard but it is incredibly interesting. Joe inspired me to learn and to go big.

OMG BEST teacher I've EVER had for ANY class. He is passionate and VERY funny and the lectures are SO FUN to attend. When people say this class is hard they are morons because if you go to class you will do fine. Just review your notes!(pop quizzes)But I didn't even read the book and I got an A. :)

Joe is really helpful IF YOU ASK.He let me turn in my final project late, and gave me a B.Read your notes over each class and you'll do fine on his pop quizzes and tests, which are the majority of your homework. The journal he assigned he never collected so dont bother!

The problem here is the class size.. He teaches in an auditorium with at least 100 students. The previous semester I had taken a class with Professor Eskandari so Prof. White's class didn't have a profound effect on me. However, he is enthused enough to hold even my attention. Very clever as well.

White was my favorite teacher ever. I actually looked forwarrd to going to class and was upset if i had to miss it. I SERIOUSLY recommend him he is so interesting and enthusiastic. He exposes students to ALL different views. It is the best class ever!

Funny guy, one of the best profs i've ever had. Relates to everyday life and lives to swear

Just sign up for the class and listen to a couple lectures. Joe will change your life. Everyone in the world should take his classes. Professors like this are few and far between!

the teacher is really funny and made the class fairly interesting. i enjoyed going to his class and listening and laughing. no homework, one paper and 3 tests.

joe white was one of my all time best teachers. he has been a great help to me on and off the campus. professor white will engage you in his class even if you havent slept for a couple days and show up to class in a bath robe (which, i dont recomend). take his class. if you dont like, drop w/o a W.

every class moves fast and you learn so much. prof. white has shown us how misinformed people are who think philosophy is useless because it asks so many questions. Such people are epistemically challenged. It's great to think!

His intro to philosophy class is the best class you will ever take. He is also likely to be the best teacher you will ever have. He has about 400-500 students every semester, so assignments are few. He is definitely one of the smartest people I have ever met.

One of the best and funniest teacher you'll ever have. Makes class very interesting and amuzing but keeps it real with lectures. Consists of 3 exams and one paper. Not biased and makes you think for your self. Very very funny guy. No hw or assigments. Extremely recomend.

i wish he taught all of my classes! joe is the best! he makes class fun and philosophy enjoyable. i look so forward to his class, not only to learn, but to see what color socks hes wearing. i love the way he chews his gum & wears a flower on his shirt.

JOE IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you ever need a class, TAKE WHITE!! He is (beside Mike Masson) the best teacher I have EVER had. I LOVED going to class b/c it was sooo funny and sooo engaging. White is the man!! Just go to class (you'll want to) and you will get a good grade. No h.w. either! Just 3 (maybe4?) tests and one paper! Quizzes are straight from lecture (notes)... <3

Joe is the hands done best lecturer ever. His classes are more like a comedy and they'll have you laughing your ass off. There are weekly quizes but if you go to class they are pretty easy, the tests are from the quizes the only tough part is a paper. THIS IS THE BEST CLASS OFFERED AT SBCC!!!

he was awesome... and totally funny

AWESOME!!!!! one of the best teachers at city

I've never had so much fun learning.

This is the greatest man on the planet

He is the****

I took Mr. White's class 8 years ago. I still think about his class to date. White had a way of not only grabbing your attention, but keeping it. He made me fall in love w/ philosophy. There is no other teacher like him out there. Nuff said.

brilliant, funny and fun to watch. he made the philosophy book talk to us once. love his colorful shirts and his voice has a great drawl to it sometimes. makes you think without overworking you. everyone should take his class! the things he comes up w

THE BEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN, JOE WHITE IS THE MAN, GREAT TEACHER AND AN EVEN BETTER CLASS. YOU MUST TAKE IT EVEN IF YOU DONT NEED IT!!!

The most fantastic C i ever earned! Joe is the****... u learn life lessons from him... i would go sit in his class now just for the entertainment.... kinda sexy the way he holds the chalk and speaks

what would you do if a kilo of weed washed up on the beach next to you? take this class and find out ; )

want a class to actually expand your mind? i was a die hard christian for years untill i took his class. this teacher is the man, and will **** with your head for years to come.

Joe White... what a great lecture... definitely keeps you on your feet .... difficult class... but makes philosophy fun... imagine that

Joe White is a great teacher! Best CC class ever! I don't know if he is still teaching there, but I STRONGLY recommend taking this class!

everything i could ask for in this class. and he seems to be inadvertently answering all my life questions...although i come up with more all the time.

this teacher is amazing!!!! take one of his classes and you will know what I'm talking about!!!

Awsome guy, one crazy trip. Take him and you will have fun, just make sure to keep an open mind.

This guy was hilarious! Definitely a class that you enjoyed coming to. I remember him quoting Mark Twain quite often. I'm still a Christian, just a more open-minded and discerning one. Take his class, you won't regret. Lots of hotties in his class too. You're at SBCC it's kind of hard to get away from, I guess ;-)

hilarious

Prof. White is AWESOME!! He knows his subject, and he's really witty while he's teaching. He keeps us engaged and enthusiastic with the subject!!

Best philosophy instructor available. Dont make the mistake of taking someone else, especially for intro.

Philosophy is not my favorite subject..but he is an awesome teacher. Very entertaining...it is like going to a comedy show and learning at the same time. You do have to read some though. I suggest him though.

joe white is the best teacher i have ever had. i actually look forward to his insightful lectures. he is hillarious and it is like whatching a performance artist teach philosophy. i highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

No Comments

VERY FUNNY! I love this guy, everyday I look forward to attending his class.

Awesome teacher, really animated. His lectures are clear, and consise and he knows his stuff. Great teacher, even better if your a phil major!

i took 185 pages of notes in this class and didnt think twice about it, id normally **** about any work but i enjoyed my experience in this class so much i looked forwards to attending classes. concepts were challenging but clear, best lecture @ city college in my opinion.

The best teacher ever. I had him 3 years ago, back when I was in CC. Still my altime fav prof. Very fun, very insightful. A warning though: whatever your religion, he will make fun of it, but he makes fun of everybody, and that includes agnostics and athiests. So don't be offended, if you do... well, hell, just get over it looser

great teacher, really entertaining class. everything discussed is up to date...but watch out he wrote the book, so he knows EVERYTHING about the subject. great lectures but difficult midterms and final exam.

a thousand times better than any teacher i have ever had!! you have to take this class!!!

Great class, very interesting! As long as you do the work you will do fine. Joe is very helpful and loves teaching which makes class all the more enjoyable. Try to keep an open mind during this class,allow yourself to be challenged!

Great lecturer, and makes the class very enjoyable. Definitely the class to take if you're trying to satisfy requirements. The content may put some off, but still highly recommended. Just try to not wear your beliefs on your sleeve and keep an open mind, and you will love this class. And its easy.

Best teacher ever! Changed my views on life. Great class! My major is now philosophy, and before Joe I didn't even know what that was.

Damn good teacher. Objective and clear.

Every time he speaks YOU LAUGH. AND you learn. He teaches you LIFE, HAPPINESS etc etc. He's super smart, the class is not super easy.

Amazing person and professor, learned a lot, but the class was very difficult to get an A in...

Joe is a extremely interesting and highly funny lecturer. I was always entertained (sometimes slightly annoyed) in class. He is a really fantastic teacher and will keep you awake, laughing, and thinking.

Probably one of the best classes I've ever taken even though the subject doesn't interest me. Pay attention in class and take notes on EVERYTHING he says, otherwise the exams will be very difficult.

bombest teacher i have ever had by far.

This guy makes class real fun...great time evertime...hates on religon a bit...but**** who doesn't?? a must for anyone looking for a good class to knock off some GEs the only fall back is the note taking is kinda a ****

funniest class ever

DEFINATLY TAKE THIS CLASS! Best class ever. it was like going to a comedy show twice a week. just take notes and listen to what he says (which isnt hard at all) and you will do fine. First class I have ever been super bummed on being over

honestly one of the best teachers ive ever had.Didnt even need to buy the book just went to class and paid attention and pretty much smoked every quiz. 2 essays, quizzes weekly.One of the funniest teachers around.If you take offense to people who trample on societies boundaries stick to Oprah because he will**** all over your parents philosophies.

One of the funniest and coolest teacher @ SBCC. His class is HILARIOUS, interesting and informative all at the same time. Reading is required but its nothing major. If you dont get a nice grade on the quiz go to the tutor and they'll give a higher grade. ONE OF THE BEST TEAHCERS @ SBCC!!

Despite comments, he does not make fun of religion; he just teaches how to question things no matter how much you believe them. Go to class/listen and you won't have to read the book much, tests are based on lecture mostly. If u don't have the min 90 pages of notes at the end just copy previous notes. All they do is quickly flip the pages.

Joe White is an amazing character. He has a tremendous amount of energy every time he teaches class and always aims to make us laugh. He's a brilliant man! To those who have been saying how bad he is for criticizing organized religion (namely Christianity), you simply did not understand the point of the class. I highly recommend Mr. White! Have fun

Awesome. He definitely knows his material, he is like a book of information. Has an opinion on anything you throw infront of him, without making you feel inferior. He definitely questions religion a lot, but without shutting it down. He makes you think, and it's extremely enjoyable. He is FULL of spectacular energy and gets you involved.Awesome.

the guy is hilarious. hands down. lots of energy. you'll like him if you dont mind someone not totally pc. he knows how to encourage questions, but he challenges your opinions, which is great. good tests. one paper, which was interesting to write. he really breaks philosophy down into manageable chunks.

By far the best teacher I have ever taken. He will keep you listening and always makes class fun and enjoyable. The class made me change my beliefs and views and made me a lot more open minded. I highly recomend this class to anyone who is willing to question their beliefs.

Joe is an excellent lecturer and transfers the thinkers of the ages in an accessible and engaging manner that is sure to stimulate all students of all disciplines. Be sure to cover all the readings, which are minimal if you stay on track, and attend all the classes, and an A should come your way

hard class but very interesting. teacher is very entertaining, a bit too arrogant, but still recommended.

Best professor i've had period. Joe is extremely interesting and hillarious during lectures. Watching his class is better than watching TV! The class sparked my interest in philosophy, and convinced me to change my major. Also a very helpful and understanding teacher. keep up with the reading and go to class for a very obtainable A. MUST TAKE!!!!

I'd have to agree with the consensus here - one of the best professors I've had the pleasure to learn from. Energized in lectures, witty, funny, and willing to sort out ideas based on logic, NOT belief. If you're conservative and don't like people telling you what your mummy and daddy said was possibly wrong - STAY AWAY.

White is really a great professor. I took him for ethics over summer and learned a lot. He is quite pretentious though, and he like sot use big words where it is unnecessary to make himself feel smarter. He's kind of a joke of a person but a good teacher

Best professor I've ever had. He is very passionate and makes every lecture very interesting. Taking this class made me change my major from Anthro to Philosophy. I don't think he is at all pretentious. Very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this class!

Prof White is such a great teacher. i looked forward to going to class; he really made lectures interesting and is clearly very passionate about the subject. i strongly recommend this professor. tests are fairly easy as long as you look over your notes before hand; EXCELLENT TEACHER

Joes class was the best he had me laughing the whole hour and 20 minutes such an applicable class to everyday life/thoughts. if you don't take this class you are a fool

best class/best teacher i have ever had. i looked forward to every lecture. hard material but sort of life-changing. White is smart and funny. the most "hip" old man i have ever met. halerious! i want to take it again. tak his class!!! take it

very few times do you run across those really good professors. Prof. white is for sure one of them. probably one of the most knowledgable guys ive had the chance to learn from

The smartest treacher ive ever had, easy to underdstand, and fun to listen too. actually enjoyed going to this class.

Best class I have ever taken. If you don't take this class your crazy. He is extremely gifted at teaching, and really makes philosophy interesting. Tests can be tough, so study a lot. If you really put the effort into your paper, you will get a good grade.

Greatest teacher I've ever had, and I went to UC Davis freshman year. Better than all UC teachers. Inspiring, eye opening, mind blowing class. Be prepared to be forced to have an open mind. He actually changed half the class's perspective on a moral/political issues because of one lecture. You'll want to attend the class regardless of grading.

This class is so awesome and if you are interested in philosophy at all then Joe White is the best teacher to learn from at SBCC. His classes are fun and he intentionally makes each session entertaining, he puts on a show for his students but always with philosophy in mind. Best class I have taken at CC so far. No HW, just quizzes and 3 tests.

I loved this class, the lectures are always very interesting and he makes them entertaining. He's a really nice guy. In order to get an A you really have to listen to what he says, the tests/quizzes are all from the lecture so its important to be attentive and write good notes.

Very cool teacher, always cracking jokes, yet still covers lots of information. Great teacher to have!

Joe White's Intro class was the best class I've taken at SBCC by far. He takes philosophical concepts and compares them to students lives. Great lectures, quizzes often (basically memorize your notes and you're solid) 3 exams and 2 in-class essays. I got an A but I studied like crazy! Didn't know anything about philosophy before this class :-)

I don't usually write on this but this guy deserves it HE IS THE BEST, really! you will learn a lot in this class no matter what and will absolutely crack up with him, this was the one class i would do anything not to miss!

GREAT PROFESSOR! Bare minimum take notes in class and review them before tests. Very clear, very approachable, funny humor. Read his text and you'll do great! One of the best professors!!

I LOVE THIS MAN and I highly reccomend this class. He is captivating and his jokes are sincerely funny. He clearly explains the material from the textbook and the exams are entirely lecture based. The class is very bias by nature but just because you learn about other people's interpretations of God doesn't mean you have to believe all of them.

Ditto to the person who rated before me. Joe White is the funny clown suit in a mans body behind an apron of terminology that will spike eyebrows and witness glasses breaking inside brains that are covered with grass that needed to be mowed. I LOVE YOU, MAN/U R # 1///AFTER GOD WHO CREATED YOU. HAHAAH.

great teacher interesting lessons and makes me laugh...wish we had a study guide for quizzes though

This is definitely not an easy "A" class, but the trick is to go to the tutors. This class is loaded with 5 tutors, plus he loves office hour visits. Tutors answer all your questions = A. Highly recommend this class as it completely changed by beliefs. A MUST take at SBCC - plus he WILL make you laugh!

TAKE THIS CLASS!! I was retaking Phil 100 because my previous teacher was just sooo boring... But there is NEVER a dull moment with Joe White. He is the most interesting and animated teacher I have had at my 3 years here at CC.. I would take ANY class JW offers just to hear his hilarious references, and over the top humor. TAKE THIS CLASS!

super cool dude

Professor Joe White is one of the best teachers I have ever had and definitely changed my outlook on life. Through his class I changed my views and my morals drastically in a way that only improved my quality of life. Great class, it would be a shame to pass up this experience! Joe is hilarious and a genuinely kind person!!!

Taking a intro to philosophy with Joe White was one of the most enjoyable and beneficial educational experiences I have had. I can say nothing negative about the man. Theatrical, engaging, and extremely intelligent. It is a class you will fail if you have no interest in and do not pay attention or read the material. Highly worth the effort.

Completely insane, but also very awesome. Passionate for the subject. Not a stuck up know it all philosopher at all. Will counter an arguement or two badly, but normally quite great. Take him!

This class actually changed my life. It is much more than a class with Prof. White - he molds you into a true cosmopolitan with his hilarious mannerisms and passionate attitude toward the subject. Creates opportunity for success, but you have to seek it out and work for it. BEST GATEWAY TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE ITSELF.

Joe White was soooo awesome. I loved going to his class, he kept things fun and interesting. Always relating things to our generation, it was great. You HAVE to read (the book written by him) to do good in the class.

He will help you with realizing the real things you need to be realizing. Take this class and become a greater human being!

Professor White knows how to keep your attention with his humerous comparisons of everyday life to ancient philisophical views. The class is easy if you keep up with the reading and he is extremely helpful if you need it. He wrote my letter of rec. and I recieved an A in his class. He is ammazing and it is definately an interesting class to take!

This was the most interesting class I have taken so far in my college career. Joe is the man. He mite come off as a smart @@@ but its all in your benefit. The class is very challenging but what college level course isn't? If you attend city college and do not take this course you will be cheating your self.

First Philosophy class ever taken yet Joe White has to be the most dedicated professor I've met through my college classes, it literally changed my life. Definitely not an easy class, dedicates a lot of time of reading and note taking and attendance! but in the end it's totally worth it. He has a great sense of humor and enthusiasm to teach!

It is an understatement to say that Joe White's intro class changed my life. His ethics class was also awesome! Totally interesting, engaging, and applicable to life. Inspired me to major in Phil.. the quizzes are sometimes confusing but that's the way Philosophy is..so they were kind of fun. Only thing is.. Ethics class was the only B ever got. :)

Read the texts, go to the tutors, take notes and pay attention in class and you will not get any lower than a B. The class is extremely interesting and gives you a completely new perspective and way of thinking. Super funny guy, lots of great stories and examples. Great class, perfect for GE

Joe white is the best teacher i've had at SBCC so far! He's a really funny guy with great lectures. Material can be difficult but going to the tutors really helped me, and you get points for going too! Tests are all multiple choice and very similar to the quizzes! Take this class!

Joe White is the best teacher I have had at cc! He teaches so much about religion philosophy and life in general. Such a funny guy and great class!! Go to the tutors for sure and you can get a B for sure and possibly an A :) take him!

really interesting guy. some material may be boring though. i fell asleep in class a lot. he's very funny and articulate. i got a B. insider tip: go to tutoring to really boost grade. go to all tutors and figure out which one is best

Really interesting class. White is a great teacher, one of the best I've ever had. He opens our eyes to things we have never noticed before. The only con is that he is not really organized, no study guide and there are pop quizzes every week, so attendance is mandatory if you want to get a good grade.

Most inspiring teacher ever, and very skilled! all his students(minus the stoners who cry at the end of the semester for their D's)love him. Use his office hours for fun conversations and going more deep into subjects. Taking his ethics class in the summer, absolutely fantastic teacher!

Hands down the best teacher I have ever had. He is beyond knowledgeable, nice, and seems to be at the forefront of the field. Best of all, he inspires. You will not leave the class the same person.

This professor is awesome! He is completely knowledgable, knows exactly what he's talking about, and is sooo funny. You have to read the whole textbook, but its pretty short, and easy. There are three tests including the final that are easy too as long as you do the reading and show up...isnt that what ur supposed to do anyways? Awesome class!!

This guy was hilarious, he kept the class interesting and the highlight of my class schedule. Definitely changed my views for the better. I never read the text book but i took exact notes on every word he said or wrote and I received a solid B on every test, final included. Great class, awesome teacher!

He is an incredible teacher! I actually enjoyed going to lecture. He is sooooo funny and entertaining. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful.

Hilarious, controversial, mind-boggling, and absolutely brilliant. Easiest class I ever had, while being the most interesting and engaging. You must take this class, even if you are forced to... you won't be able to hate it, unless you're excruciatingly dull and uninterested in this world's biggest questions.

Joe is quite a character. In a nutshell: it's as if you're at a philosophical comedy show. Really entertaining class and super easy if you attend regularly (which believe me, you'll enjoy doing) and do well on the quizzes. Questions from quizzes show up on exams as well (a mid-term and a final). Easy A! ...And you'll leave as a different person.

Introduction to thought. Brilliant professor. Received a nearly if not completely standing ovation at the end of the course. A real life changer and a refreshing character to observe. After 8 years and watching a fair number of "the great courses" dvds, he's still my favorite professor/subject matter combination.

AWESOME TEACHER! This guy changed my life. Hilarious lectures and fairly easy quizzes and tests. One of my favorite classes I've ever taken!

Joe is by far one of the greatest professors I've ever had. I loved being in his class and wish I could take more of his classes. He keeps you interested and relates old philosophy theories into everyday life (often compares them to isla vista). For such a great class the quizzes and exams aren't easy unless you're prepared. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Joe White is easily the best one I have had at SBCC. His lectures are very engaging, and he is very good at making philosophy interesting. If you go into the class with a willingness to learn, this class will greatly benefit in college, and probably even life. His quizzes and tests can be a bit tricky but if you do the reading you'll be fine.

One of the nest teachers I have ever had. Made me want to become a PHIL major, if you give some effort this class can change your life.

Ingenious teaching style. Witty, funny,interesting, clear, and mind blowing all thrown in to a blender of a class. If you have even a remote interest in philosophy I highly recommend this class.

best professor ever had, didnt even like the subject but still wanted to go, because he was so funny and such a good teacher, hes able to tell you things in a very very interesting way. hes a geniune nice guy you can tell loves his job. A+++

My favorite teacher I've had at SBCC. I walked into class everyday feeling stoked to listen to the lecture. He is very animated in his examples and descriptions which makes it easy to stay interested in what he is saying. I recommend that everyone who goes to SBCC take this class, and guarantee you will walk out with a fresh perspective.

He's an amazing teacher, very interesting character. I would definitely recommend going to the tutors, they are very helpful and you get extra points.

He was such an amazing professor! He truly changes your life! Everyone should take Joe White's Intro class! Its not too difficult. Make sure to stay caught up and go to the tutoring sessions and you can get an A on every exam. Visiting the tutors also increases your quiz scores up to A's. Overall, an amazing class and an amazing professor.

Amazing teacher who makes you excited every day! His enthusiasm and attitude is what makes the class what it is.

As if I need to say any more.. this guy is THE BOMB. You will leave this class enthralled every day. And as stereotypical "college" as it is, this class will actually change your perspective. Your worldview is about to implode.

HE IS AMAZING. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend taking his philosophy course. It changed the way I view the world. He's lively, animated, and funny. Never a dull moment. Makes you WANT to be there. Really an extremely enlightening class, you will be a better human for having taken the class. DO IT DO IT. You will not regret it!

Superb introduction to philosophy. Makes philosophy very accessible to students and lectures were always entertaining. Super easy class. Got highest score on every exam.

Simply a GREAT teacher. He makes the classes fun, and easy while still teaching you information that may very well change your world view. An excellent class that you'll actually want to attend

I have never met a more brilliant professor. He makes the class fun and easy while portraying deep information. The class changed my life in a good way, I highly recommend it!

Most interesting teacher on campus. I slacked off the first half of the semester and the second I started following along in the book(which is actually really interesting and an easy read) and going to the tutor my grade went up to an A. GO TO THE TUTOR and midterms will be no problem. Recommend this class more than any other!! He's the best

Joe is such a cool guy! His lectures are so interesting and fun. Everything he spoke about was intriguing ! i loved going to lecture i learned something new everyday! TAKE HIM .. he is also very fun and chill....

Joe's class was always enlightening and entertaining. It was a pleasure to go to class everyday. Take this class when you get the chance.

Joe White is an eccentric philosophy teacher and fits the glove very well. He was built to teach philosophy. He may be no Socrates or W.K. Clifford or Mark Twain but he does have wit and vast knowledge of the subject.

This dude is crazy funny and sneaky smart. He can answer pretty much any question you have regarding philosophy and his class is super enjoyable. Wish I could take it again

He's AMAZING at teaching the foundation of philosophy. The way he teaches makes you want to learn. Even if you aren't interested in philosophy he has a way of sucking you in. Hilarious and great rapport with his students. Be warned: IT IS NOT AN EASY CLASS, but if you pay attention and take thorough notes you will do fine.

I loved this class! Joe White is a great teacher. The tutoring opportunities really helped me, Melissa was an amazing tutor. Joe White is very funny and smart. You do need to keep your attendance up to know what's going on, and reading is important. If you want an A, you need to work for it. Pop Quizzes basically every other class.

Best professor I've had at SBCC. He always asks if there are any questions in the beginning of class and encourages feedback and conversation with him throughout the lecture. He explains the material so that everyone can understand, but the tests are challenging if you aren't there every class to get the notes.

This class is not as hard as many people make it out to be. If you attend every lecture, take notes, and pay attention, you will get a good grade. The tests are also not very difficult, that is, if you know the material well. Again, just pay attention during lectures and rewrite notes prior to exams, and you will get an A.

One of the best Prof. I've ever had. Be it, take the class with an open mind and a grain of salt as obviously not every theory explained is the truth but thats the fun part. Explains things brilliantly and is hilarious. As long as you pay attention in class its an easy Ab plus tutors if you need an extra boost. Inspirational class.

His lectures were really fun to attend, I never dozed off in his class because he is so funny. Loved listening to him, he was very inspirational as well. However, you have to study for his midterms and final, I'd suggest visiting tutors at least twice before exams.

Think back. How many teachers have you had that changed your life? How many of those were the easy ones? Probably none. I took Joe's class 7 years ago. The impression he made on me left an impact on the way I've lived since. The way I think, perceive, and seek happiness are rooted in lessons I learned from this class. Dont miss out.

Amazing teacher, he is able to elevate your awareness of the world we live in, it is more than simply learning it's about understanding. Every single piece of information that you get in that class relate to your life one way or another. You need to take a lot of note ( he expect 10pages of notes per week ) but don't be afraid it's rather easy.

Joe was amazing! His lectures were always interesting and his class in general was one of the best classes I've taken at SBCC. If you want an A you have to read the material, even though he does a great job of covering most of the topics in class. About 90 pages of notes can sound daunting, but get it done early and you'll be fine! Take this class!

JOE WHITE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR AT SBCC. His lectures are amazing. He teaches you so many things you can apply to life. This class will change the way you think, and the way you live. Joe wants to see you succeed, and his goal is simply just to pass on his knowledge to his students. After his last lecture he got a standing ovation. #KnowThyself!!!

This is one of thee most fun, stimulating & worthwhile classes you will ever take. Be cautious of anyone who says this class is hard for 90% of us it's not. Joe White is practically famous at CC for being such an awesome professor. This class is enlightening , hilarious, easy & for those who were more closed minded like me it can be life changing.

Easily the best professor I've had at SBCC. Joe's hilarious & his humor relates to students. His class really challenges you to think how you think. He doesn't choke his personal beliefs down your throat like most Phil profs do but instead opens on many beliefs and their ideas. Must attend class, mandatory notes, lots of pop q's, great professor!

Easiest tests I did all semester. Around half truefalse, half multiple choice. You only need to learn the basics of the concepts since questions rarely go into depth. Make sure to get the definitions of words down and you'll do good. Also one of the most interesting lecturers there are, jokes both in class and on exams (with multiple choice).

LOVE him, would easily take his class again if I had the chance. Not only is he hilarious but he is such an amazing professor who really knows how to teach a class and interact with the students. Never a dull moment. He really makes you think outside the box and question your own beliefs without forcing his opinions on you.

Great teacher and class. Syllabus is now followed so hard to track your grade but you get credit for everything. Pop quizzes, 2 midterms, 1 final, 90 pages of notes, go to the tutors 4 times.. that it. Very easy class. If you show up(you get points for it!) you will pass.

Joe White's intro to philosophy was THE MOST entertaining lecture hall class I've ever taken and possibly the best overall class at SBCC. His hilarious, thought-provoking lectures will make you WANT to attend every class even though the course is ridiculously easy. He's an animated, passionate professor and I personally admire the way he teaches.

I've taken Joe's intro to phil., although it is more of a history of philosophy rather than the practice. He's clear and concise, the problem is, young students believe the class is a simple a, to their surprise, it actually takes a degree of intellectual ability and critical thought; the only one's who criticize the class, lack such traits.

Joe is a wonderful man. I was looking forward to sitting is his class every Monday and Wednesday. I'm not a philosophy major or even that well versed in it's complex world, but Joe did an excellent job guiding me through. There are pop quizzes so don't miss class. If you have any questions on the material go to his office hours and he will help you

Show up and you should get a C, if you want an A all the readings must be done and you must spend many hours at the tutor to have a shot. Funny man, enjoyed my time with him.

To be quite honest, you don't really need to spend too much time reading the book. Take notes on what's written on the board and his lectures, most of the quizzes and test are based off on that. If you need extra help go to the tutors and they will give you all the necessary information to pass the test. They also let you review the old quizzes.

As an international student I had some struggles following his lectures sometimes and I found myself losing interest because I could not understand everything. very difficult words but the tutors are there to help you. but man, JOE WHITE IS AWESOME! He is so incredibly funny and I love love love his lectures. Even though it was hard, it was fun!!

I loved taking his class, PHIL 100 introduction to philosophy. It was the most interesting class i have ever taken! I barely passed it and i wish i colt take it again! I would recommend this class to everyone!. I have never been so mind blown like this before! I would take this class now since he is going to retire.

This is Joe's last semester teaching! He is one of the best, if not the best teacher I've ever had. His lectures are off the charts funny, inspiring and relatable. The school is gonna miss him.

Great professor and really makes you think outside the box. They way he teaches is a little unusual, and is hard to understand until you get used to it. He's pretty out there, and makes you question everything you believe and know. just ok at understanding people's questions and giving helpful answers. many required tutor sessions and notes.

I wish I could rate Professor White higher than just a 5, he was by far the most amazing professor I have ever had and inspired me on so many levels. If he ever teaches again, make sure to take one of his classes. I have never been as motivated for a class as I was for his.

Joe was my favorite teacher at SBCC, would definitely take his class again! I cried the last day of class along with other students, because I was sad I would not be in his class anymore. He loves to teach and it makes learning fun. My recommendation is to read the textbook and not just count on the lectures. Attendance is necessary.

Was surprised this retired professor popped up. Wonderful man. Took in 2017 but great Man, current students loss.
