He's pretty chill. Makes a lot of mistakes when demonstrating problems. Doesn't allow calculators but does easier problems to compensate. Curves. No graded homework but do it or you wont be prepared for the tests. You won't get dropped if you don't come but you'll lose points. Goes slow esp in beginning but miss one class and you'll be far behind.

Tyler White is one of the best mathematics professors at nova. He teaches his curriculum from a strict and precise method. He may seem intimidating at first, but his teaching methods will help you understand a subject such as Calc 2 with a thorough understanding. You need to show him that you are willing to give 100%, and he will come through.

He's a great teacher and was extremely helpful. Do the assigned homework so you can do well on the quizzes. If you think you don't need to do well on the "bonus" quizzes, then you fail at the most basic of math anyway. Staying on top of the quiz material really helped me be ready when exam day came. Good luck to you, study often.

If you put effort into the class and ask questions of him as needed (go to his office hours!), it is an easy class and you'll know what he'll expect of you. He may come off as "don't give a f*ck" but he genuinely cares about his students as long as you care about your work. (If you give him attitude, he'll give that attitude back.) Awesome guy.

He knows what he is doing. If you really want to learn take his class

Tyler White Is an amazing professor, he really fits my teaching style!

An amazing professor. I have to admit i didn't like him before, i thought his tests were too hard and he is trying to fail everyone. But he truly cares about what his students learn. Work hard, do the homework ask questions, and YOU WILL get a good grade in this class.

If you want to really learn the material and not just fulfill a requirement then Dr. White is the perfect instructor for you. His tests are comprehensive but also fair. He doesn't try to trick you, and he goes out of his way to be available if you need extra help. Great instructor! Great course! Who said Calc 2 was hard?

GREAT TEACHER! Is pretty clear in his lectures and explanations, expect to do the work you are given becasue quizeas and tests are all based on homework. He is funny and will always help you with any question you have.

Dr. white is a great professor. If you think he will just let you roll through easily you are mistaken. You will have to work for every grade you want to get. I understand calculus very well because I had to work hard in his class. The class will be tough the first few weeks but you will get used to it. DO THE HOMEWORKS! EVERY ONE OF THEM!

Tyler white is a fantastic professor. He really knows the subject and tries his best to teach you everything you actually need to know in order to succeed in later courses. Yes, his tests can be tough but if you did the HOMEWORK they are really not that bad. He also curves and gives a TON of partial credit. I highly recommend him to anybody.

The man, the legend. Dr. White is one of the most talented faculty possible to take at NOVA, and at George Mason University, where he also teaches. The guy has his own theorems in Linear Algebra, has done original work in diverse areas of math. Genuine mathematician, who also loves teaching. Take. Or forever risk being a second-rate scientist.

Tyler White is awesome. He doesn't just teach the answers to problems, nor does he run on about the technical proofs for hours. He briefly uses proofs to justify the material then teaches you what problem solving is about.

Great teacher.

Mr. White is a great teacher to be with for Calculus. He really does help create a strong foundation for the upcoming math classes. His lectures are really wordy (less visuals) but if you pay attention you can learn a lot out of it. He is also hilarious. To me he is like a 30 year old kid with the mind of a genius.

DR white is one of the best math professors i ve ever had. His lectures are brainstorming because he doesn't only give you theorems and teach you how to apply them, he also prooves every single theorem in the textbook. People say his tests are tough. Well, if you are aiming for an easy A with no hardworking, then don't take DR white.

great teacher. Knew exactly what to expect on tests, and he was always willing to help, and was very clear with his lectures

Great

The class is very tough if you're not studying and taking notes properly, his lectures are clear on what to expect and if you do the majority of hw problems and understand it the tests are easy. His lectures are wordy as he wants his class to understand the theory behind calculus, it's necessary to do the hw to see actual problems.

I took linear Algebra with Dr. White. I got a C. We had many snow days but he kept on schedule. His lectures are very clear and helpful. You have to do your homework. Tough grader but he is fair and he is there to teach you. Probably will take discrete Math with him. personal opinion : He is one of the best math profs, I had bad ones so i know.

NOT an easy A class. He is an exemplary professor who strives to teach you calculus, not teach you how to take tests. His lectures can get a bit technical, but involve almost every single type of problem on the test. The tests are concept based, slightly difficult, but fair. He gives sometimes generous partial credit and curves the grade. Take him.

Although he does not engage in class a lot, as long as you listen, you will understand his lectures. I sat in front because we had a big class and I suggest you do this too. His tests are a lot like the examples he gave during lectures. Doesn't grade homework but he will check if you did it. Easy to consult and meet outside of class

He taught really well. But he is so hard. It is definitely not an easy a. The subject is hard enough, but he finds a way to make it harder. Pay attention if you choose him.

Teaches without complication. Always makes sure the information is clear. Not everything he teaches is on exams, but he explains in detail for the student to learn rather than for the tests. Only credits the effort made in homework. He's calm and organized. Fair examination and grading. Generally, he's one of the best math teachers in the business.

The class is not an easy A. Lots of homework and the tests are moderately difficult but are fair if you study. Do homework for practice even if it's not graded. Take advantage of the math lab and his office hours to pass. He is NOVA alumni and now has a Ph.D. He cares about students learning not just passing. Work hard. Experience was rewarding.

Dr. White is a genius when it comes to math. His class is very tough, but if you pay attention and ask for clarification on what Dr. White is teaching, you should pass. With readily available office hours and an extensive amount of homework questions, Dr. White provides many resources to effectively pass the class. Great guy overall, but tough

I took him in 173 and got an A with a huge score, then decided to take him again in 174 and got a B, simply because there was no graded HW (my fault, should've done better). If you take him, especially in 174, Put maximum effort to get an A. His tests and grading are fair. He always makes sure all is understood and encourages students to think.

Great proffessor , Took him for 173 and 174. Calc 1 and 2 . got A's in both. Teaching style is great. Finally understood math! Do all the homework and you will pass

I took Dr White for two classes this semester, MTH 295 and MTH 267. Overall, he is very talented at teaching but is very tough. Dr White really wants you to learn mathematics, not just calculations or formulas. I came into these classes with only MTH 264 knowledge, and I would highly recommend MTH 265 and MTH 266 before MTH 267 and MTH 295.

Dr. White is one of my favorite teachers tbh. His lectures are entertaining and has the class participate a lot. He's one of the best mathematicians at NVCC, and if you really wanna learn math, and don't mind a few cuss words/mistakes then he's your man.

Dr. White is very refreshing to have as a professor - he empathizes with the students on the parts of the course which are frankly ridiculous and done to intentionally confuse the student. He understands the confusion and understands why it is ridiculous. He is fun and a great teacher, and knows how to connect with students.

This class was pretty good. I felt that I learned a ton, and I received an A in the course. There is a ton of homework but it isn't graded, so just do as much as you can and until you understand the material. If you do all the homework you should definitely get an A. The tests are hard, especially the 3rd, but he is a pretty lenient grader.

Clear assignments on mymathlab, pace is average-high. 3 large projects that can be time consuming. Excel experience helps. Reading the assignments clearly is key, especially for excel assignments and projects. If you miss something or forget to post a discussion, there's no mercy. Course was tolerable, but would not look forward to. -math hater

At this point I have had Dr White for 3 classes: MTH 266, MTH 267, MTH 295. Dr White remains my favorite professor at NOVA. Dr White really loves to teach the theory to motivate topics learned in class and also mentions applications of mathematics in the real world. As far as grading goes, he is a fair grader and tests require good understanding.

I am not blessed with a Mathematical mind and Professor White was prompt and patient with my abundant inquiries. Although there were a few answers that remained vague, he always followed up asking if he answered my question in an understandable way.

He is easily one of the best math professors I have ever had during my time at NOVA. His class is not easy and you really have to do all of the HW to do well on the tests but I learned so much in this class. He's extremely helpful you just have to ask for help when you need it. Yeah he curses but I personally don't care.

Professor White was a very kind man. He actually ended up bumping my grade up from a C+ to a B-. His class was very chill... he was always ready to answer questions both in class and outside of class. He was reasonable with the pandemic and with us being online. Yea, he cursed here and there but it wasn't offensive at least not to me..

This is my first college MTH class. He is amazing in a way. Just study the group assignments and homework. That's where the exam questions come from, and you will be fine. I didn't get an A+ OR B+, but you will enjoy his lectures if you do your part as a student.

Great professor. testing into this class means you understand math to a certain extent. if you do ALL your math lab assignments and score above 90 which is possible cos it shows you how to solve it, that should place you at a B. Exams are 90% of what is in your math lab. if you know how to use excel that's a + on the projects. GOODLUCK

Im not good at math and we all know why youre looking at his rate my professor because you want an easy A, there is a lot of homework, 3 excel assignments, 3 exams which you can practice by taking a practice exam, and 2 projects, study the mathlab questions because you will see some of it on the test, I found myself teaching myself a lot.

All the students complaining about Professor White are clearly slackers or just plain dumb. As long as you do the homework and attend class, you'll get an A. He is very familiar with the material and teaches it effectively. Exams were easier than I thought it would be. Just do the homework because the problems come from there.

He is very on point in what he teaches. There is a lot of homework but they allow you to retake them as many times as you can. Projects are a bit unclear needs to write better instructions to better understand what he wants from them. Overall he's a very good teacher and very understanding.

This class was made for me. The materials for this class were attainable. Professor was understanding, patient and very fair with his grading. The only criticism I have of this course is the projects. The instructions were unnecessarily long but other than that, the homework, the tests, and the group activities were easily completed and helpful.

He is a great professor if youre willing to put work in. He will help you during student hours if you have any questions on projects. He replies to email on the same day. The HWs are a bit long but you can take it unlimited times.

Whoever doesn't like Prof. White is insane, he's super knowledgeable in his field. It's a tough course in general, so you can't blame him for it. Lectures are useful DON'T SKIP, 2-3 homework/week but they're easy. Exams and finals aren't worth much, practice exams will have similar questions to real exams. Ask him for more help with excel projects.

Pros: Clearly understands the content, organized, and punctuated. He's accessible outside of class.He finds a clear link to previous lessons. Cons: He often responds to answers to questions with sarcasm. This works for me, but is understandably harsh if you were truly answering to try your best. He also does not allow extensions without paperwork.

I passed so that's all that matters to me. He was good. Very knowledgeable in this field. Put the time and effort in and you'll be fine. Take pictures of slides and yeah. He was good.

Prof. White is a great lecturer and his exams are fairly easy. He assigns a lot of homework but you will definitely come out of the class with a deep understanding of the subject. Once you get past his unpleasant personality, the class great.

This class is very homework heavy, but if you understand the homework you will almost certainly get an A on tests. He doesn't try anything tricky or sneaky; follow his syllabus and you'll be fine. If you're looking for a personable teacher, go elsewhere. If you're looking to get out what you put in, take the class.

He is a great mathematician, but rough as a teacher. If you don't understand something right away, he gets really frustrated and the class is ridiculously exam-oriented; its worth 85%. One thing I did like was how organized and systemic his lectures were. Theory, Proof, example, repeat. Best advice I can give, do the assignment the day its given

I will say this man was one of the few professors who actually cared to prepare his students for studying math at the undergraduate level and I only say this after taking his class in spring 2020 and currently taking 300 level math classes at CNU. My difeq class I'm in now is a joke so far thanks to what this man put us through.

Really nice and understanding! Willing to answer any questions and spend time outside class to help you understand. Homework only required the effort of trying, not getting EVERYTHING right, which was really nice. And tests were based off of the homework program! There were some projects that were a little difficult, but overall was great :)

Straightforward zoom classes and homework assignments that you can find easily through CANVAS, make sure to take good notes during class so that the homework assignments are completed on time. You are allowed to have one page of formulas and notes for the exams which really help, you can also reach him very easily after class to get help.

In my experience, his MTH154 class was super easy. His lectures were straightforward but he was able to go on tangents I didnt mind. He also seems to really care about his subject and is willing to help. Nearly every class we got let out early. He was a good professor and the class is not hard under his teaching.

Hilarious professor. Made differential equations a breeze. Lots of HW, but you don't have to do all. Exams are curved and easier than the hardest HW problems. He wants participation during class, and breaks down each topic to make it understandable.

Professor White is a very humorous and out-going person. He also a knowledgeable to the subject. He gives you chances to ask him for help if you need. Lectures are easy to understand and not heavy at all if you pay attention.
