Eastern Religions- WOW. I was appalled at how much he knew about the subject. There was hardly a question we could throw at him that he didn't know about. An extremely cooperative, nice, knowledgeable, and helpful teacher. I did get bored sometimes, but that could be just me.

Ken White is an awesome teacher. He refers to the textbook quite frequently, but he doesn't quiz you on them. His midterm and final was take home and some of the questions weren't related to the text at all. He requires a term paper, but like the 1 page midterm/final, the 7 page term paper is also double spaced. Super fun guy. Very funny.

I was really surprised after reading everyone's comments. I found Dr. White to be extremely knowledgeable but took a demeaning tone when talking about other religions.

Dr. White is passionate about religious teachings, & makes good dad jokes. But lectures are long, sometimes too detailed and sometimes too bare, but he posts them online (if he remembers) so you can take notes without going.

Professor White's course consists of him presenting slideshows on the topics he presents for the vast majority, followed by quizzes sprinkled throughout and two major papers (8-10 pages long). His lectures are both informative and funny as he will go on side tangents. However, it is up to you to remember the due dates for the papers so set alarms.

Super easy class. Only have to worry about quizzes and one paper. Everything is on paper though, the only thing on Canvas is the syllabus. Even attendance is on paper. Really chill teacher, goes on some weird tangents sometimes though.

Prof. White has been my favorite professor at UVU. I am sad to be graduating, I want to take another class from him. He knows so much & has personal experiences with different religions. He loves what he teaches. He's hilarious. I looked forward to every class. We had 7 quizzes that were simple and 2 papers. No final or midterm. Just pay attention.

My first time taking a philosophy class was a miserable experience, but the second time I had a different teacher. Dr. White's class was phenomenal. Lectures were awesome! You don't actually need the book. He summarizes things in class and provides context. The quizzes are easy if you listened in class. He wants you to do well. One of my favorites!

Really liked professor White's class, I was warned by my friends ethics and values would be boring but Kenneth really made it so interesting. He isn't the type of teacher to read paragraphs off of slides, he'll have a sentence or two and then explain more in depth himself, so coming to class is important. 3 quizzes, a final paper, and final exam.

He would take attendance via passing around a paper to write your name on it, but it was never graded in canvas, like attendance wasnt graded. He passed the paper around every day, lol idek it was so funny.

I thought in new ways of analyzing the topics and had wonderful insights from other students by their experiences that correlated with the class. I appreciated the teachers messages about the given object lessons that created a open space environment to participate in handling uncomfortable questions that critically think on my own to consider life

Amazing teacher! Comprehensive for the class. Professor Kenneth White demonstrated his experience as an expert in different types of philosophies. He influence my decision to major in philosophy because there's so much to know with such little information from the semester. Overall, the class will provide essential skills in all areas of academia

Mind-blowing dialogs that creates healthy challenges and puzzle coding conclusions. Approaching one's own social constructive behavior to re-evaluate the choices that are made in day-to-day activities. Observes the biases and preconceived notions of what is absolutely important as well as what is not. I was renewed by experiences that involved me.

A great professor. The texbook we used was The Moral Life 6e, which gave around 50 pages to read per week, though he covered everything we would be tested on in the lectures. Definitely very old-school, as he kept attendance by passing around a paper and had almost nothing on Canvas. Good teaching style and quite funny.

Kenneth had great lectures and was a funny guy. No homework and although the textbook reading was technically required, all the content was posted on canvas so you could just quickly study it before the quiz and pass

Ken White is one of the best professors I've ever had! It's clear he genuinely cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He's always willing to answer questions both during and outside of class. The course doesn't involve much work on Canvas or the computer—you mainly listen to his lectures and take quizzes in class.

His class is incredibly easy to pass, but it's kind of a drag. I used it like a study period and my grade is currently around 90% classes are over. He doesn't actually read your papers, could have used AI and passed even easier than I did, but I think if you use AI to pass a course this easy you won't make it much further in college.

Super lecture heavy. I missed a lot of classes and my grade never went down when he said he graded participation in class. He explains the topic super well and uses super informational slides, but overally is still pretty boring to sit through. He requires you to get a textbook, we've never used it once all semester, but he reads it to us.

Professor White is one of the greatest professors I have ever had the privilege to learn under. He is so engaged and dedicated to not only his teaching, but also the success of his students. He is incredibly wise, caring, and especially hilarious. His classes always put me into a great mood. I will look back on this class fondly.
