There really is no point me writing this because he is no longer teaching this class, but I want to put respect on davids name! His lectures are interesting, I thought the class was set up well and was very rewarding. As long as you took decent notes the tests were not too hard. Plus he gave a chance for redemption if you failed the midterm.
Dr. White was one of the most interesting people I have ever met, really wish I could have talked to him more. Lectures can be a little dry at times, but content is super interesting. Ordered the book, but didn't read too much of it. Midterm and Final were definitely challenging, but info was great. Discord chats get nuts.
It's his last year but I actually didn't think he was as people said. As long as you memorized the terms on his study sheet you should do decent on the midterm and final. His lecture before the final was basically 50% of the final anyways.
Took class because I thought the subject would be good, especially during pandemic time. Boy was I wrong, the lectures were very long and boring. The midterm and final were both worth more than half of your grade. Sections didn't really work and were mandatory w/ camera on. Average for midterm was below 72%. Anyways White's last quarter teaching.
I absolutely loved professor White's class! The subject was extremely interesting and his lectures were funny and entertaining. He has a TON of experience in this field and it shows. The class was heavily based on his textbook and lectures. Only one paper and the midterm was pretty straight forward. Luckily, the final got canceled because of Covid!
Awful professor for history, his lectures are long and when we take a test, there are many questions that lecture and powerpoints do not cover. I highly recommend no one taking his class if you want a good grade.
