Awesome teacher, very helpful, highly recomend!
One of the BEST teachers I have ever had!
Very clear. Tests were not at all scary. Very knowledgeable on the subject. excellent professor.
I just want to post about her graciousness and respect students who work at VCC. She always polite, and talk appreciate word to all activities to assistance her in classes, one day she bought for us 3 big Pizzas and cokes so delicious,a sweetheart woman
Awesome, does good explaining material. Sweet!!
Mrs. Waite is so cool and cute- She looks like a quiet woman, but when we talk to her, she is very lovely and pink heart- She can be a good teacher in 2003- Godbless Mrs. Waite- be lovely and more graciouseness, Professor. Life needs people as You!
she is a very nice lady. i have not taken her class but i work in AV so i meet her now and then. she is nice and she also bought us lunch to show her appriciation towards our hard work... CJ
Mrs. Waite is a wonderful Porfessor- Her compassion is a main feature, then her gentle eyes contact and her lovely voice talking. IF she is a Dean or a Porvost in campus, then several people will get her BLESSING and LOVE. God made her in Education field!
Waite was easy... a lot of work and reading but her test are straight from the book so READ!
Extremely Clear. Tests are fair because they come straight for lectures and the book, so if you're on top of everything you should have an A.
She has been the best professor I have had since I have started college last fall. She has a great passion for the humanities and it was evident in her teaching, which made it more interesting to learn. She also wears really cute shoes, and thats a plus!
Pay attention to lectures. Relatively easy class if you do the work. You can tell she really loves the arts......
My fav teacher so far. Excellent teacher, the only reason why I got a B is because I missed a couple days, keep up on your attendence if you take her!
Very Very nice and sweet. Loves humanites and explains everything very well. Take very little notes cause she prepairs a notebooks for u with all the outlines and vocab in it, Test are easy cause she reviews well for them!
Really cool! Shes my role model. If you slack then youll make a c, but if you try youll learn a lot. Her class was always interesting.
Really sweet teacher. She knows her stuff and is passionate about it. I didnt think I would like the class, but I loved it. Never missed a day.
She is sweat nice and interesting. Great class, a lot of it suck with me and helped me to understand other cultures. I really enjoyed having her as a teacher!!!
nice teaching style
I hate this class
Mrs. Waite is very easy. She is a nice lady and is able to help with questions. Grades are based out of 1000 possible points for the course. Tests are easy, no surprises. Assignments given are easy A's also. Overall, this class is an easy A.
I really enjoyed this class!
This was the best class I have ever taken.
Best teacher I have had yet. Seems to love teaching. A refreshing change from the other stuffy, boring professors!
the sweetest teacher around, she's so bubbley she just puts a smile on your face. there is some homework and tests, but she teaches enough for you to be well prepared for them.
she is so nice!! just talk to her when it seems like you're having trouble on anything. she's understanding and gives extra credit. like the others says, an easy A with this teacher!
She is the nicest teacher ever. Talk to her when you have problems or cannot make the deadline of and assignment and she will understand, just be honest. Easy A if you listen in class.
Very good teacher. She explains everything that is going to be on her test in her lectures. If you have a problem she will work it out to help ya! Definetly Recommended
this lady is always happy great to her syudents and makes class fun yet interesting and she gives alot of extra credit.
I love this class! I got an easy "A" and I learned a lot. I recommend this teacher for anyone thats wants a nice teacher and wants a good grade.
I have to agree with the other comments. Ms.Waite is the best teacher I have had at Valencia. She made class very interesting and enjoyable. I would love to take her again, but her classes are always booked. So if you have her stay in the class.
she is so hot!
Mrs. Waite is such a nice teacher. She really opend my mind to some interesting pieces of art that otherwise may have gone overlooked. I also have to admit that she is probably one of the hottest teachers at Valencia.
she is one of the best teachers i've ever had
excelent teacher and very hot!!!!!!!
this teacher is the best! you really have to be able to work and not be lazy. If i was her age, id ask her out :)
She is a great Professor. Her class is fun and opens your mind to many new ways of learning things that you may think aren't so interesting. highly recommend
she is the best hum teacher ever. she is so funny, nice, and HOT!!! so much fun. just keep up with work and its a piece of cake
excellent teacher, she cried in class once. really loves her students
She is challenging and places a love for the arts in you. She is a gifted teacher. She loves her students and helps you in every aspect.
She is an awesome teacher, easy to talk to. Participation is required in her class. Lots of hands on and group work, but she makes class interesting. she always has slides and music playing when you walk in to class daily.
she is an awesome teacher! i would definitely suggest taking her class..she makes the class fun and interactive, and really helps you learn the material
Great teacher alot of work but really enjoyable. out of class projects are fun and the point system makes figuring your grade a snap.
Prof Waite was the best HUM teacher I had at Valencia. She is so nice and very professional. She knows her stuff and makes sure everyone understood an assignment before she moved on. Her professional attitude and tools for teaching help.
If you fail this class than get out your Micky D's cap and shirt cause you are one lazy MF'er. She uses powerpoint in her lectures (def plus), and she is very knowlegable of what she teaches, and guys, all I'll say is "I was hot for teacher." -
She is pretty hot for a teacher and fairly easy to work for. The tests are all pretty easy and the essays are easy to bang out. Fair grades and good attitude. She really wants to help you understand.
I took her twice so was so good.She's really easy to understand,and she's fun.She uses powerpoint which is good.I'm actually working on my classes now and I'm putting everything around her class.That should tell you how good she is.
Ms. Waite is a fantastic teacher. She will explain exactly what she is looking for in the tests. Make sure you participate. And don't be late when papers are due because she will drop you a letter grade for being even 5 minutes late. Very nice lady.
Mrs. Waite was very patient and helpful. I took for all 3 of my Hmanities course. Thanks a Bunch!
She is the best teacher I have ever had!
She's awesome. I look forward to her class!!! There is a lot of work involved but it's fun. Take her class!!!1
Very nice teacher, but not particularly challenging. If you are taking Humanities because it is a requirement, She is a good choice. If you have a passion for the subject, look elsewhere.
Awsome teacher. Loves to get into class discussion. Tests can be hard. Alot of writting, but subject in ver interestion.
Ms.Waite is an awesome professor. There are 3 assignments throughout the semester (which are quite easy) and 5 tests in which she gives good study guides for. She is a very sweet lady and loves to teach and will help you with anything you need. Take her class!
Great teacher! She's awsome- very fun and very creative. I recommend her to anyone looking for a great time and a great teacher!
Class time goes by quickly. Tests are pretty fair, use her website crossword puzzles, they help!Gives chances for extra credit.
She is such an energetic person and fun to be around. She does a great job at teaching and you can tell she knows what she is talking about. If I could I would take her again in a heartbeat. Oh yeah and she goes out of her way to make sure you succeed in class!
Prof Waite is wonderful I highly recommend this class for anyone that likes to participate and have fun in class.Prof Waite trys to answer all your questions in class and if she cant she has no problem staying after to help you. this class and prof rocks!!!!!1
This is by far the coolest professor I have ever had. It is great when the professor puts an effort into making sure the students succeed and enjoy doing so. Do the work, participate in class and she will love you. She is also very open-minded, and loves challenging debates. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!
There MUST me 2 Rachel Waite's ..... I have her now and if I knew then what I know now I NEVER would have taken her as a professor. She is EXTREMELY bias and CLOSED minded! If you're not her pet you are NOTHING!!
She is very unorganized, no class structure, unreasonable quizzes and the papers have no direction. She needs to go back and learn how to teach.
professor waite is one of the best teachers i've had here at valencia. she makes class fun and loves class particiaption. she is funny and easy going. i would highly recommend her
Take her classes! Its worth the time. She is so cool, makes everything interesting! Grades fairly. I believe she is one of the best teachers in VCC. You can tell she loves what she does. She's goofy too, and when you make a suggestion she really considers it. She does filedtrips, movies and music.
she is a great teacher. her class is fun and interesting because of her.
By far the best professor I've had yet. I absolutely love her class. I am taking her again next semester. She is does a good jog at involving the class and making the class fun and interesting. She gives very few assignments and prepares you well for tests. I definately recommend her!!!
Not an easy A. You will have to study you ass of to pass. Only offers 30 extra credit points. All test are 50 questions and 2 of them also have an essy part. Don't take if you can find an esaier teacher. YOU HAVE TO GO TO A MEUSEUM FOR YOUR GRADE WHICH IS ON A SATUARDAY. don't take i earned a hard C
tests are hard as hell but other than that a exciting class, if you don't like talking in front of people dont take this class. tough grade but overall a fun class and teacher
Ms. Waite is the best professor at VCC! You need to take her new love class, you will learn more from her and this class then in all your classes combined. She is an amazing teacher with a big heart. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
Don't leave VCC without experiencing Ms. Waite's class! It is like therapy! One of the best classes I have ever taken and I'm a science major! Ms. Waite is wise beyond her years and is extremely fair!
This is by far my favorite class I have taken yet at VCC. Rachel Waite is the best professor I have ever had. She makes the class fun and she gets you so interested and into the class. I loved it so much I am taking her Whats Love Got To Do With It this coming semester!
Well she is very unorganized and ranmbles on alot. She is a do it my way or no way kinda teacher. Take Schwan or Szymanski cuz this teacher gets boring fast and has no compasion for students, it's all about her. I had a bunch of questions that the only answer she could give is "I don't know". Anyway don't take this teacher if you can avoid it.
By far my favorite professor. Anyone who writes anything bad about her is ignorant. Ms. Waite is one of the most decent, kind human beings I have ever encountered. She has a passion for teaching and wants all of her students to leave her class changed for the better. Her class is easy, just come to learn, respect her, and do the work. TAKE HER!
Well she is very boring. She does care abotu you learning the material but kinda makes it hard for you. Basically you'll pass if you suck up to her and tell her she's a good teacher and study your ass off. She takes offense if you're not interested in her lectures but hey who can stay awake when she rambles on for 2 hours staright without a break.
So cool. She actually makes you think about your values and why they are like that. Very passionate and open to your thoughts! Anybody who says differently was probably never there. Shes one of the only teachers on campus that listens to you and what you have to say. Its a great class, but doesn't accept late work unless you email it the same day.
she was awesome, funny, and took full advantage of the "smart" classroom. Great class!!
Ms. Waite is a very intersting teacher and her class is never boring. She puts alot of effort into what she does. She doesn't grade very hard but does give you a good amount of assignments throughout the semester.
She's cool, nice, nice booty too. She's also a little funny. And her projects and assignments are pretty easy but I can't stand her tests. SO ANNOYING!! You'd think they'd be easy but noooooo. But I was lazy. Guarenteed B, at least.
She is a good teacher, but some of her tests are way too demanding.
She was by far, my favorite teacher I've had since I was in PreK! ha, AWESOME teacher! THE best teacher at VCC!!!
Really loves what she does, and is good at it. Knows her info. Tests can be hard, but study. She is funny, and has awesome ways of making the class interesting.
OMG i loved this class so much. Waite is such a fun professor. There are always lots of discussions and the class goes by so fast. The tests aren't that difficult and if you do the work (which isn't too difficult) you will do fine in the class. The work is fun too.
Definitely a fun professor. The class goes by so quick. As far as tests go, you can't be lazy and expect it to be 'easy'. study everything on the study guide, and she tells you exactly what is on the tests. i got an A and was aiming for a B. you can't be lazy just study and you'll pass those tests
She is a GREAT teacher. She makes the class really fun and interesting. Do the study guide words and study the notes that you take in class and her test will be a sinch. They are multiple choice, matching, true/false, and fill in the blank. She goes over what you need to know for the test over and over in class as well.
GREAT teacher! Explains everything well. Tests aren't hard, a little studying gets you a B. She also does fun activities and lectures are not boring with her. Somehow you will get interested in what she is talking about. All around good person to take the course with.
What can I say -- Ms. Waite's heros are Oprah Winfrey and Al Gore ("oh please, please, please go see this movie -- and take your friends"). A shame so much time/effort is spent on liberal indoctrination instead of teaching humanities. Very disappointing -- I was looking forward to this class and LEARNING about HUMANITIES.
Taking this class before a HUM class helps out alot. Mrs Waite is a pretty good teacher. A few projects and she tries to keep the class interesting. Test were a little tricky, just study and you should make an easy A or B. I got an A in the class. I would take her again + she gives extra credit
I absolutely love this class! Ms. Waite makes learning the course material soo much fun!! I have already signed up to take another one of her classes. There is a lot of work but its fun work and prepares you for the exams. She is really fun and a really sweet lady :0) I def. recommend her!
She is an excellent teacher who makes learning fun. She does seem to go off track every one and a while but she is very knowledgeable. Makes the class easy to get through and interesting to learn about. Participate in the discussions and you'll learn a lot!
WORST teacher ever!! shes a tree hugger..simple as that..tests are hard..very strict on attendance, and lateness! I wouldn't recommend her to my worst enemy.Goes off of subject numerous times,and VERY ditzy!!
AWFUL teacher!! so strict on attendance and lots and lots of pointless work!! She grades like were in Harvard!! no need to buy the book because all the tests and quizzes are from what you learned through her. she doesnt explain well at all on what she expects in work.Her projects, u need to give up your weekend!!she's ruthless, & unreasonable!!!!
Prof Waite makes humanites interesting with her energy, understanding & openmindedness. Grnteed A! 2 homework writing assignments based on opinion. Multplechoice & match, and 2 essay included unit tests on lecture & visual presentation. Tells u exactly wats expected thru an outline lecture or powerpoint. Offers tons of extra crdt.
No Comments
Such an airhead...talks way too much and goes off subject. Doesnt go over everything that is on the test but expects you to know it. Gives way too much homework that takes hours to do. Acts like people dont have other courses or jobs. I have no idea how she got 4.5 obvioulsy she goes on here & makes up ratings. Take Wendy Givoglu.
Absolutely LOVED her. Everything that's on the test she goes over. The homework wasnt even hard and you have soo much time to complete it. She talks a lot and keeps u interested. I would take her for another HUM class..but if u get the opportunity..TAKE HER!!
Loved her. Kept me interested the whole time!!The only class that i actually looked forward going to!! Learned soo much!!
One of the BEST teachers I have ever had. She is SO passionate about what she is teaching, and she made me look at life and art in a new way. Very inspiring. She is very clear....I didn't even have to study for the tests and I got A's. If you like to learn take her!
take styles instead shes better.
Very easy A. Just go to class and study a little for each tests and you have it made.
Excellent! Great teaching style, I had her for a 2.75hr class once a week, and she kept me and everyone else awake, not an easy job.
She has a very "flaky" personality. She is nice, but can be quite eccentric. If you have any knowledge on politics and war history, she will piss you off. She promotes socialism/communism, and is contradicting when discussing womens rights and war.
Very easy class, lowest test grade was a B and I never studied once. However, she did FAIL me for my poor attendance which is shinanigans! Very Frustrating Experience...good teacher nontheless.
Easy Class... just be on time and study for the test and you will get an easy A
Easy A but man, what a FREAK. I think she is the weirdest person I've ever met. If you like the challenge of learning, dont take her. She will hold your hand and patronize you until you SCREAM. The class was easy and the grade was good, but I paid the price having to sit through her weirdness. Don't take her if you cant handle weird.
LOVED HER! I will be taking her again for another hum class... she is fun an keeps you awake... very nice is always happy
She is pretty weird and a little ignorant. Acted like Jessica Simpson some times and she wouldn't know what to do if she didn't have a book to follow.
She is great. I'm not the brightest tool in the shed and i got an A... not because her class is easy, but because she is very passionate and talented in what she does. take this class!
She's great. Took her for three semester's straight. Her teaching style is very easy to get used to, so you know what it is you need to know for the tests and projects she will make you do. As long as you pay attention you will do great in this class.
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER! i was worried that the class was going to be boring but she makes it super fun. You will learn so much information with out even trying because she teaches so well. Dont be scared to take her!I cant believe shes not married!lol
YOU HAVE LIKE 3 WORKSHEETS ANS only 1000 words 3 tests and 1 art project and plenty of time for each its alot of group talking but she wont force you to do anything you dont have to say a word in the class and she won't complain SHE IS REALLY NICE and you should definately take her its alot of writing but all of the HUM classes are!!
The professor was kind of hot, and she was very interesting. I do not care so much about humanities and most of the things we did were quite fun and I ended up with an A. She made us do a few "outsside" of class assignments and extra credit. She cares a whole lot about her students.
Very opinionated teacher. Whatever you do, don't raise your hand to answer a question!!! If she doesn't like your answer, she will put you on the spot and not let up until you change it or you say "I'm done now," which will hurt you grade. With my test scores I should have had an A or B at the lowest, I ended up with a C.

Don't disagree with her or give an answer she doesn't like. If you do, she will not leave you alone. If you don't go along with it when she puts you on the spot, she lowers you grade reguardless of your test scores. She makes you go to a museum on your own time or its a zero for a project. Like we don't have other classes or work. DON'T TAKE HER!!!
I liked this course actually as well as Ms. Waite. She's nice to you, and yes she is rather opinionated, and will probably argue you if your's varies, but that's with all opinionated professors. Her tests are a breeze as long as you show up to class and pay attention. The Real Encounter isn't that bad, and she's not bad looking to boot. :P
Ms waite is an awesome teacher she defiently keeps you awake her teaching technique is fun and interesting test are not hard if you pay attention in class and if you do all your notes it counts as a test grade i would def. take her class all over again!!!!
She is one of those teachers who lowers your grade if you're not as excited about what she's teaching as she is! You better at least pretend you agree with everything she say's or she singles you out in front of everyone. She also uses up every second of class time not even letting us out early on the day before a big holiday like spring break.
Great teacher! She is very enthusiastic about what she teaches, and you can tell. She is a little odd at first but really grows on you after the second week or so. I cant "wait" to take her again!
Sighh. I love this teacher shes is awesome but she is extremely picky and tedious. I never had to put in so much effort for a class. She is a great teacher and needs to go a university and teach because she don't play.
absolutely LOVE her! She is so funny & such a happy lady. I honestly look forward to her classes cuz everything we do is so interesting. I was not too sure about the subject at all when i chose it but once i entered class with her it was awesome. you have some papers to write but they are so easy. just pay attention and speak up, you will do amazin
I had her for Intro and 20th century. She is awesome. There are many class discussions where you get to say what is on your mind. There is never any judging. Our class became more like a family. Mrs. Waite is very passionate about what she teaches. There is no homework but there are papers.
I took her for 20th century. She is extremely passionite about her class and about her students learning the material. She loves disscussions, the test are fair but you definatley need to study. She assigns a few papers to wirte. She is easy, all I had to do was show up and listen, her lectures are very interesting.
I LOVE HER...she may put you on the spot sometimes but that actually helped me..this professor tries to understand you and shes so sweet..i wish the best for her and her baby..:)
SHE IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST! SHE REALLY TAKES HER TIME IN MAKING SURE YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT WILL BE ON THE TEST! SHE IS ALWAYS HAPPY AND FUNNY! IT'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION SIGN UP FOR HER!!
Took her for 20th Century Humanities and she is awesome. She's very passionate about teaching and makes the subject matter easy to understand. you have a few papers and like 3 or 4 tests and no final. In order to get a good grade, you have to study. Kinda strict on attendance but take her. She's amazing.
everytime i take this professor, she's preggers! lol, no but shes a good teacher. easy class, you learn so much about the world. i recommend her!
Awesome teacher! Would recommend her and would take another one of her courses offered. Very little homework, just vocab, its very easy and she gives you alot of time to do it. I got A's on every test if you read your notes you will do fine. Lots of extra credit available. She is very energetic and easy to understand, makes it fun. Very Helpful.
this teacher gives so much home work it's ridiculous all the classes has 4 tests she has 5 she pressures the students with worksheets and hardly goes over reviews before tests
It is both amazing and funny to see the poor reviews that this teacher has recieved...........The class is CAKE as long as you do your work. Strict on attendance but I would be too if I taught this subject. Great teacher, easy class.
Easy BUT Boring!!Clearly she doesn't know much about the subject, but at least she tries! Her homeworks were super easy just do what she tell you to do and you will get an easy A. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities do them. Her tests are confusing, but easy at the same time. "Take her if you want to pass the class, but not if you wa
...but not if you want to learn
Take her if you want to pass the class, but not if you want to learn!
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! Her tests are ridiculously easy! Everything is based on her notes and lectures. Always try to attend classes b/c she's strict on it. She's passionate about Humanities and you will def. learn. Sometimes she rambles off topic but w/e SHE'S GREAT!! Ignore the negative comments..she's an easy A if you do the work! Trust me.
Ms. Waite was a phenomenal teacher. If you show up to class, take good notes, and do the study outlines she gives for each chapter, there will be no reason you get less than an A. Treats students with respect and is always happy to help you out. She kept things interesting and upbeat, there was never a dull class.
So helpful and clear concepts.
