Professor White was a very good professor. While she may have not approached the topic of Civil Rights in the most traditional way, there was great value in her teaching style. If you go to lecture and section an A is definitely achievable. This is a great GE too. Would take this class again in a heartbeat. Also no textbook so you save $$.
took random attendance. disorganized & shows up late. constantly moved deadlines. only talks & uses the board for lectures. no powerpoints. posts all readings. very outspoken & voices her opinion, down to earth though. lectures and readings were hardly in the final. gave a study guide (late of course) STUDY THAT. final was pretty easy though
Professor White is very intelligent. Her lectures are always informative and I was able to learn something new each class. She ensures that students are understanding the content and offers office hours beyond what is posted on the syllabus. Most of the time we talked politics, but I was able to understand what is truly going on in our society.
Professor White is very knowledgeable of the content of the class. However, she is very disorganized. She changed the course's syllabus twice, and changed assignments mid way through the quarter. NOTHING on the final guide she gave us was discussed in class, readings were long and not mentioned in class either. Expect to get confused and annoyed.
Professor White is known to be disorganized and late to class (so be prepared for that) but I would honestly say it's worth it. I've never taken a class that's been as thought-provoking as this one and I always left class with so much more knowledge about real issues going on around the U.S. If you put the effort into the class, she'll see it
This professor is interesting. She's from a humble background but went to MIT for her PhD. You would think she's snotty but she's very down to earth, and wants you to learn and think. It's about thinking. I agree-she's disorganized: diamond in the rough. But her brain is on Fleek. Seriously, connects high theory to everyday life. Dope.
