Whitey is a great proffesor. Never too serious, can be hilarious. His lectures are very boring tho because he goes over everything 10 times. Also, he preaches conservative doctrines all class. Either way, its a fun class, and its impossible to not get an A. The tests on the books he has you read are soo easy. No final.

Based on these reviews, expectations were set quite high. However, I can say this: way overrated. Multiple useless unrelated stories per class as an attempt for him to relate his life, which he loves to talk about, to the subject matter. You don't learn anything, but he's probably easier than the alternative so take him. A or B is not a sure thing

Just read through the rest of Whitey's comments...he is the man. Reading and discussing the literature wasn't painful as it always has been in the past and grading was reflective of the effort put in. Take Whitey if you want to get something more out of a required lit/engl class.

If you do not get an A in this class, you either: 1.) did not show up to class over 6 times 2.) did not follow directions or 3.) do not know how to listen.
