One of my favorite professors at UCSB. I took his 136A course last Fall and fell in love with the subject. Assignments can be challenging, but the TA (Marat) provides great feedback. Overall a wonderful professor and caring person.

Best professor at UCSB! cares so much about his students and cares about what he is teaching. I wish I could take another one of his classes! Would recommend everyone in the sociology department take one of his courses.

Professor Whitehead is extremely passionate and competent. He cares a lot about his students and he is very dedicated to helping his students do better on their assignments. Lectures are thorough (however they are pretty dense and he moves fast) but he is very accessible outside of class and very helpful during office hours.

Actually such an amazing professor, hands down one of the best professors here at UCSB. Use your TA as a resource because that will greatly improve your grade!

A great professor and super accessible if you need help. A lot of group interaction work which is helpful. Very interesting topics and he does an excellent job at lecturing. 10/10 recommend.

he's literally the best professor i've had at UCSB. im not sure what the negative reviews are about, I took both 136A/C & they were all very interesting classes! If you go to study tables there is no way you can fail. He also provides you with all the information you'll need on canvas& give you a time bank of five days to turn in assignments late.
