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.

He seems passionate about what he does & will go out of his way to help u! I had an issue when the final was scheduled, he was gonna let me come in his office 3 hours early & be there early so I could take it, this was amidst the corona outbreak so we didnt stay for the final but the thought was nice. Hes a great teacher & a funny guy.

Love this man but he is so boring! it was very hard to stay awake! Midterm was 25 mc and mc free response and it was lowkey hard. One paper due in section and final exam. If you are not interested in learning about different religions dont take it. It was very hard to understand him in class since he was so quiet. I hated going to class.

David White is so awesome. You do have to show up for class (he doesn't take attendance but it's helpful for the midterm and final.) He is passionate and funny and I loved every minute of this class

Okay so I had him my freshman year. I found his lectures to be extremely boring, but that's just me. It was hard trying to stay awake. Read the book, his exams are based on it since, ya know, he wrote it. He makes some jokes, that's the only highlight. Sometimes I just laughed cause others were laughing (I was half-asleep, as mentioned earlier).

I really liked Prof White's teaching style, and I found the material interesting! Some topics were drier than others. The textbook can help w/ contextualizing lectures, but it's not necessary. Go to lecture and write down EVERYTHING; even the minutia is fair game. There's only one paper and 2 tests. Lots of memorization! Pay attn to connections!!!

To be honest, many students complain about this class and it is not that bad. This class is pretty interesting and if you study and attend lecture, the class is manageable. However, it requires a lot of just memorization so if thats not your thing then maybe take something else. Prof White is hilarious though.
