Very nice teacher. I recommend him to everyone.

Easy to understand teaching style.

He is a very good in understanding the knowledge level of students, then teach.

enjoyed the class and a very professional style of teaching

Great professor. Explains subject very well. Ensures everyone in the class is getting the topics. Lots of extra credit opportunities.

Dr White is awesome. You never know what kind of mood he's in but just pick it out by the shirt and tie he wears! All math professors are wierd, but Dr. White is a nice guy if u go and talk to him. I recommend him to anyone

Professor White is a cool dude. After class he goes out and smokes Backwoods cigars. I think he's from Texas.

awesome teacher. started at chp 1 the first day, ended on last chapter last day. nice guy. very clear and patient.

Nice Guy. Plays by book.

This teacher has his **** togeather he treats his class like humans not a number, he is very respectfull and teaches very well, I was able to learn more in his math class than any other. He is a great teacher.

Was sooo easy & very clear on the material. Went over things as much as he could, but tried to keep to his schedule. Gave TONS of extra credit. Allows you to use a 5X8 notecard front/back with ANYTHING u may need written on it for every test. 5 stars

Good prof. Very helpful. Very clear. Gives opportunity for extra credit. Fair on testing and grading.

Great Teacher. Very clear and understanding. Genious in his field. very adept with helping students who have difficulty understanding. Impatient with late work but very patient with in class questions. Great at lectures, I Would take his class anytime.

Wonderful teacher. I hate math, and have never done particularly well in it, but I got an A in his class -- and actually understood what I was doing. I feel much better about my math abilities due to his class. He's just great!

very easy for finite math but do not take him for college algebra

best teacher ever for math if you have to take a math take him becasue he makes it easy

Awesome Guy!!!! One of the best math teachers in the school, if not the best!!! Take Him!!!

GREAT TEACHER! A++++++ Take him, it's so easy but so fun!

Dr. White is a math genius and a great teacher; he makes even difficult concepts easy to understand. His only failing (and I hope he reads this b/c I'm sure noone'll tell him): he writes notes too fast to be copied, and he's lecturing while everyone's still frantically copying. Needs handout notes.

There is no sexier professor than Dr. Rick White. I will take him for every class if possible!!!!!!

Awesome Teacher! He will give his right arm to try to help you.

Best Math Teacher in the dept. Have taken him twice now & plan on taking him again & i hate math. Will help you if you ask. Do your homework and be prepared and theres no reason to fail. Lets you use front & back of paper to write anything on it for tests. Amazing teacher. TAKE HIM!

I am horrible, I repeat horrible at math and this guy gave me his all. He was very helpful and kind and understanding. DO YOUR HOMEWORK the only people to complain about his class didn't do their homework, he rocks my world!!!

White is sweet. If you pay attention, copy everything on the board, and care about your grade, you'll do well. He's fair and good at explaining things. I would reccommend no one else!

Seems kind of bored and frusterated teaching Finite because he's such a smart guy. Honestly wants his students to succeed and will do anything to help them. I don't know how he put up with some of the people in Finite, but I applaud him.

excellent math professor. pay attention and do hw and get an a. hw is key in any math class. put in at least an hour outside for every hour in class and there will be no problem.

Math comes easy for me, but Dr. White's tests and quizzes have shown me the stupid mistakes I make. VERY patient with the slower students. Fellow caffeine junkie and a good sense of humor.

HE IS REALLY NICE

I have not passed a math class since 8th grade (and I flunked college math 3 times at my last school), with Dr. White's class I earned an A... do the homework, show up and pay attention, and don't be afraid to ask for help if needed. One of the few classes where your effort truly determines your grade. I would take him any time!!!

I took him for Precalculus and Finite Math. He is a closet comic. Most students can't tell when he's joking because they're pretty dumb or sleepy and he's super subtle. His approach is very methodological. Do your work, get help with FREE tutoring, visit him AFTER tutoring and you will succeed. Check out his research work... pretty cool stuff.

He is always prepared, converts hard book topics into easy notes; gives you 100% everyday. In return, he expects you to know the prereqs and WORK HARD to learn. Don't be afraid to ask questions in class & if you still need help see him after-looks intimidating but is really very nice. Use tutors. He is tough but fair, we need more profs like him.

Dr. White is an awesome professor, had him for calc 1,2 and 3. Gives great detailed notes and will make sure you leave understanding the material if you ask for help. He expects a lot of work from students and tests can be hard but if you put forth the effort you'll be fine. As with any prof. if you respect him he'll respect and help you.

I had this professor for multiple classes Math 211, 275, and 311. He is not an easy A in any way, but he is a great teacher. He is always prepared with a full set of notes. I am thankful for having him as a teacher because I actually learn the material. He's overall a nice guy & always willing to help! I hope I'll be as great of a teacher one day.

Two things you should know. One, he is a GREAT teacher and you will learn a lot about calculus! Two, you have to put in more work than you could imagine to succeed in this class. I would say if you are going to take Dr. White, make sure you will have a lot of time for work in class. Hw every day, quiz every week (based on hw) and fair tests

I've never enjoyed a math class so much! He makes learning easy, has a sense of humor which I enjoy, quizzes are open book, but tests are lengthy and hard. This isn't algebra math - you learn how to finance a loan, pay a mortgage, figure out odds, and a whole bunch of other curiously interesting things. Take him if you get the chance!

MATH270 is an extremely difficult class, but Professor White is very good at teaching it. He may just write notes on the board, but when it comes to doing problems he explains each step and answers any questions people have. His sense of humor is dry, but it's enough to get a chuckle or two every class. Tests are rough, but doable if you study.

Professor White is certainly an expert in the subject matter of this course. If you aren't a math whiz yourself it can be hard to keep up. More than half the class dropped by midterms but if you stick it out and ask for help he will do everything he can to help you learn. Go to class, take notes, and make connections with other students.

Dr. White could stand to clarify his lectures more (ie, use less "math-speak"), but overall he's a good professor. Read: good, not easy. It's an incredibly difficult class but as long as you go to him with questions either after class or during his office hours your confusion will be gone.

Mr. White is definitely a difficult professor, but this is college folks, it's not supposed to be easy. I had him for a summer trig course, and it was very hard. Students complained about him being a hard grader and too particular, but for the most part math is black and white;if it's wrong, it's wrong. May not be a good choice of not a math major.

Dr. White is amazing. He respectfully speaks to his students on a their level. If you have difficulty understanding his lectures, he holds the best office hours. He explains his expectations, models exactly what he wants, then hands it to you. He is thorough, has high expectations for his students. 2 pass- YOU have 2 at least be a good student

One of the best math teachers I've ever had, but the hours and hours of homework a week and the particular grading on his quizzes are why I wouldn't take his class again. He will help you if you ask for help, especially during his office hours. He offers bonus and he cares about you if you put the work in.

He is a nice man but a very hard grader. There will be homework in the class that will require time and effort to complete. You will need to spend time studying the material every week to do well in his class. If he chooses to do board problems in your class do at least two every week!! He will give bonus points if you do extra board problems!!!!

I liked Dr. White's style, however, it is incredibly difficult to manage in the summer (being a condensed class). His grades are only based on how well you test. He grades by process, which is awesome. Stay on your game. DO. THE. HOMEWORK.

He comes off very serious, but once you get to know him you see how truly caring he is. He is a nice professor and really cares about his students. He even brought us brownies and bagels when we jokingly asked him to.

Seems like a scary dude but is super nice and is willing to work with you to pass. If you want to pass, you will. Always willing to work with you.

Professor White comes off hard on the outside but is an amazingly caring professor. The class can get challenging, but he takes all of the quiz problems directly from the homework. Do the homework, keep up on you work, and you'll be fine. He also works with students outside his set office hours if you need it.

Most of the class unfortunately did not do too well but he took that into consideration, offering multiple opportunities for bonus points after the midterm. If you are dedicated to doing well, he will see that. His lectures were OK, but he worked very fast. Overall, I simply enjoyed the challenge - class is not easy; he is pretty particular.

Dr. White comes off as very stern, but he is so nice! If you treat him with respect, you will get it in return. This semester was online due to COVID, so I can only speak on that. He used WebAssign for all assignments, with zoom meetings for lectures. This class was pretty simple, and he gave a few bonus assignments.

Dr. White is a very good professor. He tries his best to make sure everyone understands the material and will go over anything if you do not. Gives lots of examples for each section so you are familiar with all types. Very understanding person, as well. I would definitely take him for another class.

Dr. White was one of my best professors. He was so kind and was willing to help anyone who did not understand what he was lecturing on. I cannot even explain how many times he would halt lecture to help a student understand the concept. His tests were easy and fair if you did the homework and listened in class!

I agree with the review below, he definitely has a "dad" personality, though he gets frustrated if nobody answers his questions. This class was easy if you took calc in hs, I found that the curriculum was exactly the same. His exams aren't super difficult either and there was always bonus. Review the homework and lecture notes and you'll be fine!

Professor White has a specific teaching style, but if you engage with it, the class can be worthwhile. The lectures move quickly, so staying focused is key. unstuck study was a helpful supplement for preparing.

You'll do all the notes in class which really weren't difficult at all. As long as you do the notes in class and do the math lab hw I promise you'll be good to go. He also lets you have a piece of paper fro every exam to keep formulas and stuff on. 9/10.
