Although I got one of the lowest grades of my college career (a C!) i still REALLY liked this prof! I wouldn't recommend taking his class as an elective as I did if it's not your major, but he's VERY straight forward about what he expects! Gotta respect that. After that, you're grown, it's up to you :) Nice, funny, soft spoken, I liked him!

Dr. White is a really great professor. His class is not easy, but it is a 4000 level class. He works hard to stress the importance of taking responsibility. He is very clear about his expectations, and does not waiver from them. If you want a true learning experience, take this class from him. If you want an easy A, don't.

Classes are almost never on topic and the PowerPoints are irrelevant to the material assigned for reading. His "Writing Rules" are ridiculous and will make you lose letter grades for simple comma errors (that are debatable). Tests are too short and graded way too harshly. T/F is designed to trick you. DO NOT take unless you can't avoid it.

Nice guy, horrible teacher. He is passionate about the topic, but his grading is rough. You will never get full credit on anything you write, no matter the effort. He requires intense detail, but will count off if you go over 3 pages (which is very easy to do if you put as much content as he wants in it.) Overall avoid if you like your GPA.

If you're interested in black and white thinking and more concerned with form rather than content, then White is for you. He's helpful in that he'll review work prior to due date and his lectures are entertaining, but he caricatures (if not outright misunderstands) opposing theorists and ideas.

Demonstrates a lack of concern for his students and receives pleasure from assigning poor grades, deducting points, and arguing with us. Many instances where students expressed their opinions in class, only to be met with attempts by the teacher to embarrass them. Please save yourself from unnecessary stress and take any other teacher possible.

He just whines about how much he hates trump and republicans the whole class and attendance is mandatory, so you have to sit there and listen to his incoherent ramblings. Incredibly tough grader, barely teaches, and treats the students like babies. the worst part is he makes everything as vague as possible in class. DO NOT LISTEN TO GOOD REVIEWS

This was a class that I got put into during drop/add and I regret it. His lectures are worded in a way that is very hard to understand and they are typed. You have a discussion prompt due every two weeks that if you follow the formatting he grades you poorly but if you don't follow formatting then you do okay. Advising says to just make a D.

i took the AP version of this class in senior year (ap gov) and it was significantly easier than taking this class. the only good thing is that he offers up to 4 points of extra credit, but otherwise you are stuck reading the 24 page syllabus in order to do well. lots of discussion posts and papers, and his grading is extremely hard.

This professor made me want to change my major. When I tell you learned NOTHING in this class, it is NOT an exaggeration. He makes absolutely no sense in his lectures. We talk about the most random of stuff and nothing to do with the criteria. He would write one vocabulary word on the board and didn't explain it at all. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!

He doesn't teach, he always rambles on during lectures talking about nonsense (often about Trump or abortions). He randomly has attendance quizzes (that MUST be on 8.5x11 loose notebook paper) so you have to be there. He is SUPER strict on how you format assignments, so you're always looking at the syllabus. He also barely checks his email.

Awful professor, do not take him for an online class EVER. He is extremely strict on his format rules for discussion posts, so you will rarely ever receive higher than a B on any assignment. The lectures are also indigestible and do not relate to the course content/discussion at all. His formatting rules are designed for you to have a bad grade.

Professor absolutely does not care if students pass or fail. The grading system makes absolutely no sense, learned nothing throughout the class, made me almost consider changing my major, and incredibly focused on the syllabus and nothing else. He is actually one of the worst professors I have ever had.

There were multiple instances of essays due throughout the semester over topics that were seldom discussed during lectures. He focused way too heavily on specific details he mentioned in the syllabus and formatting rules when grading papers which made it feel like I was in an advanced writing class more than criminal justice.

Really harsh grader, a lot of rules just for him to be grading out of 5 points. You can lose more points than you can gain. 16-page syllabus that he expects you to memorize. Would not take this class if you're just trying to get ur gen ed out the way, def not beginner friendly course.

RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK. Taking this class was the academic equivalent of stepping into a burning building and being handed a gasoline can. This professor has mastered the art of making everything ten times harder than it needs to be. The lectures are useless, Grading? A complete mystery. If you value your sanity, or will to live, flee this course

Dr. White is a good, nice, laidback professor but bases the grade of all assignments off of the syllabus. 9x out of 10 he will just refer you back to the syllabus when asking for specific feedback, but does supply questions with a bland answer, then refers to the syllabus. No tests; midterm + final paper,+ book report (major assign.) +in person EC.

If you like to read the syllabus a bunch of times and go back and fourth for the whole semester making sure your following his made up rules perfectly then revive a bad grade and the only feedback being “look at the syllabus and self grade” take this class. the typed up lectures where hard to follow as well.not a good professor.

I do not recommend taking his online class. It was horrible, no recorded lectures, lots of reading and no meaningful feedback. The assignments are also frustrating as you basically work a lot for a paper that is only worth 5 points.

The big thing for this class is just follow the syllabus. If you explicitly read and abide by the syllabus, you will get an A. Anyone who has any issues with Prof. White is because they didn't read the syllabus thus didn't get the grades they wanted. Class is very achievable just be very deliberate with explicitly following the syllabus.

Overall Professor White was great! He is a tough grader but if you take time to actually look over the syllabus you should be fine! Each week you will have a topic paper and a discussion due. No quizzes or midterm!
