AWSOME TEACHER! Classes are not easy but you come out learning alot and are always interested in what he is saying! I'm taking classes with him again!

Very hard, I think I deserved an A, but I got an 85/B. One thing I didn't like was once he told us to write an interpretation, and I did, and he graded off cause I didn't interpret the way he "intended" us to.

He's pretty wacky, and pretty laid back, he's very strict on having things turned in on time, but as long as you pay attention somewhat in his class, he's easy.

Great Teacher. This subject was surprisingly fun. Alot of reading and class discussion. You don't have to talk much though. One or two people can carry the class. If you talk to him he'll work with you. Quirky. Fun. Take him.

talks a lot, but a good teacher, farily easy class if you do the work, you don't really have to read much of the book, just listen in class and review the questions that he gives you for the tests, good about letting you turn in late work, but not very clear instructions on assinments/projects.

hes okay... talks waaaaaay tooo much but work is easy.. gives very many chances to do papers and gives a portfolio due in the end of the semester. you only have to read 20 short essays the whole semester..fairly okay class

It was a fairly easy class. Do your part and you will be O.K.

Class was always interesting. Discussions were based on the text material as well as personal experience he has with the material. I really enjoyed the projects that we did. There is alot of material to cover but very interesting. I really enjoyed the instructor's style of teaching!

Keeps the class interesting and interactive, but talks alot about crap that's not necessary, lots of political Bush bashing, etc. But he doesn't mind if you have something to say about that too.

Professor Whitebird is an interesting teacher. The work isnt hard but you do have to study. The finals are essays but you are given the topics a week in advance. I liked him. I ended up with a C in the course which was surprising bc i used to get A's all thru high school... but if you dont slack you will get a good grade!

mr whitebird was an awesome teacher! he is so nice and has kind of a dry sense of humor- i loved it! there was a good deal of work for his class but he was very helpful and sincerely wanted everyone to succeed

A great teacher. I learned a lot in this class and if the time is taken by the student to really understand the classic stories, there is much to be gained from this class. He talks a lot but is very interesting. He knows his stuff.

I love Proff Whitebird, he is silly-he thinks he's funny but really not. He talks ALOT and most of it is lecture-he knows he talk alot and still does it. His papers are straight forward and theres only 4 papers. Some quizes but they were rare. He got sick this semester-so im not sure if he will be back, but I hope so!I enjoyed the class! Nice guy!!

Good guy, easy going, tells you exactly what's on the tests. Tests are easy. Lectures have funny times but are often just ramblings about nothing mixed sporadically w/ important info that should be noted (but you never know what should be noted)

Talks a lot about everything but the class itself. The grades are unfair because he grades students as if they were to pursue a literature major.

i took himlast semester and managed to recieve an a although this is nt my favorite subject. very helpfull if in need. can miss a couple days of class with no problem. most of the stuff that goes on in calss is not about the class. overall an easy a if apply yourself.

Great class! Fun teacher, easy to understand. just the right amount of work to understand what needs to be done but not so many assignments that you are burried. definetly the teacher you want for english 1301! class was fun and i learned a lot and now i am no longer scared to write a paper!

Professor Whitebird is a wonderful teacher. He did tell a lot of stories in class, but it was to get you thinking about things to write your papers about (it IS a composition class) He is fair and understanding, a wonderful teacher whether you excel in English skills or not.

At first I wasn't sure about him. But as the semester went on, I really enjoyed his class. Someimes you have to nail him down on due dates and requirements. Other than that the class is pretty fun. You may have to put up with some crazy stories of his, but I think he's a pretty interesting teacher who isn't too hard to please.

Good teacher, just have to apply yourself. He goes off topic a lot but in my opinion it's a good thing!

He is a good teacher. I learned a lot on his class. We wrote: 22 (up to 200 words) responses, two 750 word essays + revisions, 1500 words paper, the midterm and the final paper. Overall, I enjoyed his class and I will take him for my 1302 as well.

Great Professor, gives students lots of chances to make a good grade. Real flexible pushes deadlines back to help everyone get a good grade. If you do not make an A, you are not trying. Easy A, and a fun class that can break up a hard schedule. Very understanding and great stories, laugh and enjoy, take him you won't regret it.

Mr. Whitebird is a very knowledgeable teacher. He tries hard to make his lessons interesting and fun. We read five novels, watched the movie version of each one, and then wrote a paper comparing the two mediums. This is a great literature class for non English majors.

mr. whitebird is a great teacher very helpful if u dont try dont expext to pass if you have any questions just ask he will help you i would def take him again

Profesor Whitebird talks a lot but if you pay attention he is going over the assignment for the day. He is helpfull in goes over all the assignments, you can write as many revision you want; if attend class and do your work you'll make a good grade.

All he does is lecture!!!! Pretty boring! As for his assignments...as long as you wrote what he asked for, theme and style, you got an A! I never bought the book and still got A's on all my papers. I'd take him again if I had to.

Ok so Whitebird will probably come off koo-koo at first, but he is probably the best teacher you will ever have. All you have to do is show that you are trying and he will give you as many chances as you need in order to pass. You have 25 logs that are due at the end of semester, 3 essays for portfolio, mid & final. I will def take him for 1302!

He is so great! My writing is broken, but I worked very hard.And he gave us so many chances to improve our grade. about 7 essays have to write, but only 3 will count towards into your final grade and you have plenty time to revise them.He is so nice and gentle!

Excellent, positive, enthusiastic and knowledgable. Really cares about students!

This professor is great, he really gives you a lot of chances to revise your work. Pretty much you do response logs and 4 essays including midterm and final...no pop quiz or tests in his class. Great teacher!

Very helpful Professor. I was very pleased. As long as you do what he says and get all the assignments done ON TIME your good!

He is one of the best instructors i ever taken. he teaches indirectly by revising each essay you write if you want him to take a look at your essays, which i recommend. revising your essays is the way to make an A in his class.

great professor. there is a lot of work but he allows for you to revise your work prior to semester's end, giving a chance to enhance your work. he tells stories of his life to make his point, this class is about how to write "stories". Easy A if you do the work, I didn't complete the last assignment on time (50% of total grade) so I received a B

He is one of the best professor I've ever had. Very helpful, let you revise your essays and make corrections. You're in college. He is not there to baby sit. As long as you follow the syllabus. Ready and do you response log you're good.....

I must admit I didnt take the class seriously but I completed the essays & compiled the portfolio of them in time and the things he deducted points for just dont make sense.ex:In research paper he said that I didnt use 2 of my sources but on essay they are cited & even mentions one as citation. There r more. Was worth 50% & got D. Dont recomend!!!

Mr.Whitebird is a great professor. This is not an easy class he will challenge you to think & go beyond in your writing. Revise your essays, keep up with the response logs, do well in your midterms and follow the syllabus YOU WILL BE FINE. He can bored you with his talking but that is just how old people are:) Definitely pick him for English.

KEEP UP WITH RESPONSE LOGS!! Mid & Final are easy. Grades hard on the research paper, make sure you cite all sources in the paper itself not just the Works Cited page. Soft spoken, sit near the front, can get boring while analyzing stories but DO NOT ignore TAKE NOTES. His insights are very helpful for both response logs and critical analysis.

I cannot recommend Professor Whitebird highly enough. His classes are focused on discussion, allowing you to develop your ideas for essay content and get instant feedback to better understand the material and produce more refined arguments. If you participate in class and read the material I don't see how you could get less than a B.

Professor Whitebird is an absolutely fantastic instructor. His course on ancient literature is fascinating. I would gladly take his class even if I did not need the credits. This is a class I genuinely enjoyed going to, and would have attended whether or not I needed the credits.

I truly enjoyed his class. He goes over the stories in such detail that you pick up on the style of the writers and learn to understand details in writing. Great guy and will take him for ENG 1302!!!

Mr. Whitebird is a great teacher. He will grade fair if you turn in all assignments and listen to his lectures. Taking notes is highly recommended. I look forward to taking him again for 1302!

Professor Whitebird is a very good professor! His mind set is different, and he has a unique way of breaking down a story. If you pay attention to his lecture and take notes, there is NO WAY you fail his class!

I loved his class

Prof is easy and very interesting. He makes the class lively. Participation is a good thing, If you can take notes, write almost everything you can hear. Easy grader. Must turn in assignment on time. Lateness will cost you. I am new to English but got A in all my papers and fell short due to late turn in of portfolio. I ended up with C.

He is a really good professor. As long as you write at least the correct amount of words hit the topic at least somewhat you will get a B. BUT attendance is MANDATORY. If you tend to miss class a lot DO NOT take him. He kicked someone out of the final for missing class. I missed some, he gave me a warning and it was all good!! Would suggest!

Knows the material by heart, can teach difficult subjects from memory. He is really passionate about his work and it shows during discussions.

Professor Whitebird is quite the expert on the material. He can lecture from memory, and is quite knowledgeable about the literary themes, styles and so forth for all of the material covered. Quite well-versed in alternate translations and interpretations. Gives good feedback. You really need to actually read the material.

-Funny, lovable, charismatic teacher! -No tests, 4 essays, reading logs *due @ end of sem*, & weekly quizzes. -Loves participation & when students know what they're talking about. -Book is very much needed! -Attendance not very mandatory. -Very independent course, if you don't have motivation then don't take his class. But you'd be mising out!

Very creative in showing his students different ways to analyze an essay. He's the type of person that laughs at their own joke and that makes you laugh. Overall, he is a fair grader and gives great feedback!

He is a very tough grader that's for sure,but once you get the concept of critical analysis everything is easy. There is so many reading logs. Just make sure you do them on time so they won't all accumulate when it's time to turn it in. Nice teacher. No tests just essays! How easier can it get?

I had several personal incidents this semester and Mr. Whitebird was nothing but understanding, compassionate and willing to help! If you're open minded, you will definitely enjoy his lectures. Although I did not made an A, I can sincerely say I learned a lot on his class! Sometimes he might be unclear about his instructions but he's an easygrader

Took his class Summer 2016, Heavy on lecture and reading is a MUST to be able to participate in class discussions. He is easy going as long as you are there and do your work. EASY A if you do your work!!!!, I would of gotten an A if I would of had the time to fully complete assignments. MUST: listen, take notes, READ

Professor Whitebird should be teaching at the highest level; like at an Ivy Leauge school or something like that! You don't come across a knowledgeable, old school teacher who has dedicated his life to his passion every day, especially at a community college! You have to earn your grade but if you really care about learning; then TAKE HIS CLASS.

You have to read, you have to be involved in the discussion, you have to follow the *rules* of English. But that's what the class is for! He covers great topics, he's easy to get along with, but bear in mind that this is not a class where "there is no such thing as a stupid question" because well, there is such a thing.

Even though you have to read you learn a lot from his lectures if you participate and actually read the material and turn in the work on time you should be fine. Be on class on time and be there is important. There might be some reading but if you actually do the work you will enjoy the class. He is a very good professor and very smart

Great professor. Smart and with a lot of knowledge. I learn a log even when English is my 2nd language.
