I took conversational analysis with professor Whitehead, and I really enjoyed this course! It was very interesting material and I will never look at conversations the same way again. The only assignments were four papers, but the guidelines are pretty straightforward and they are very kind graders.

Any negative reviews for professor Whitehead are because people haven't gone to study tables. The class is graded on 4 assignments 3 of which are only 4 pages each. Don't take it if you can't find time to go to the study tables. They are so helpful and you will pass with an A if you go to them. Prof really cares abt students he's amazing.

Bad class to take. BE CAREFUL ON WHAT YOU CHOOSE!! Professor is nice and TA is nice, but they wont help at all for improving my grade. I do feel as if I am not understanding anything in his class and no one bothers to help me, as I am desperate for improving my grade and is hard in this class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! You will fail miserably!!!

Very good professor but class is super boring. Very hard to pass this class. He does not help me at all and that he never grades fairly. TA is never available as with most or all TA's in this campus. Very bad class to take. Not a Sociology class. Such a boring class that I am falling asleep. I am never taking this class again forthe rest of my life
