He is the best professor I've ever had at UCSB so far. He's very kind and caring and really did his best to help every student to do well in his class. The extra credit opportunity helped a lot. Sometimes the lectures could be a little boring but this class never made me feel exhausted or anxious like some of my other classes did.

Kevin was a really nice guy and clearly passionate about the subject. He really values participation and attendance but gives plenty of chances to make up for missed assignment and classes if you communicate with him. Mostly reading annotation assignments, a few google earth assignments, 2 short presentations and a research paper final. Easy A.

Professor Whitehead makes class enjoyable and is a great teacher. Though the material can be tough at times because it is a bit complex, he is more than willing to help his students. He makes his lectures culturally relevant and uses clips from pop. media. Hes super approachable and one of the most understanding profs Ive had. Take him.

You will love Professor Whitehead. He lets you learn at your own pace and is readily available for any questions or concerns. I really enjoyed his class and felt he worked with me on things I did not understand or got wrong with my assignments/projects. You will not regret taking this class.

I took Professor Whitehead's class online and he was great! He sent out 2 pre-recorded lectures a week (which you should definitely go through if you want to do well in the class). All the core content of the class is within these lectures, and the examples are especially helpful for the weekly homework assignments. Workload wasn't bad at all!

Weekly assignment, weekly forum post, a data collection exercise, and an 1800-2200 word final paper. The class was intimidating at first, but you will get the hang of it. Not an easy A class because you do have to put in work to get a decent grade. A lot of reading. Go to lecture and look at his slides. Lecture is a bit dry. He offers extra credit

This class is not the conventional sociology class, but is really cool and interesting, and professor Whitehead is one of the most caring and kind professors I have had in all of college. If you want to learn about how conversations work, take the class, it's relation to sociology will make sense by the end of the course.

Super easy! Only went to class once after midterm and still got an A. For midterm and final papers, you get like 8 choices to write on so you're bound to know at least one! Only used the book a little for papers... Definitely take a class with him!!
