Talks so fast in his lectures and not interesting

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really enjoyed taking Whittemore's class. I found the class to be really interesting. I tend to skip classes, but actually wanted to go to this class. He's got a great sense of humor which is hard to find at UNC. He makes even the most boring lectures interesting. The majority of your grade comes from a semester long project, but I liked this.

He is knowledgeable about Urban Planning, but that's as far as it goes. Lectures are extremely boring (I can't emphasize this enough), but you have to go because he doesn't post slides anywhere else. Only take if urban planning is absolutely what you want to do.

Whittemore is a great guy who knows a ton about Urban Planning. The class itself is incredibly boring, but not very difficult. The whole grade revolves around 2 essays, 2 exams, and recitation, which makes getting an A a little more difficult. Don't need to show up to lectures, but probably should. Not a bad class.

Covers the same planning topics in 246 with the dryness and historical detail of an anthropology class. Didn't use a microphone or lights for a lectures to over 100 students - extremely hard to stay focused. Exams were unnecessarily hard due to the odd multiple choice style. Recitations were crucial for managing the long vocab list.

He definitely is very very knowledgable about City Planning, but lectures will make you want to fall asleep. Take pictures of slides, and try on the papers and you should be fine. Exams are difficult but doable! Not my favorite class, but a good TA will make it better.

I do not see why aall of his reviews are so bad. He is really kind and likes it when the students participate. His TA's graded all the essays but if you knew them and tried they will give you a high B or low A garunteed. You may not get an A unless you are a fantastic writer but the class is so facinating and has encouraged me to pursue the minor!

Prof Whittemore is a nice person but the class was boring and painfully easy. The textbook was written by two white men now in their 70s/80s so that's really great. Tbh you don't even need the textbook, everything important is on the slides. The essays are kind of a joke. Very easy A if you need the gen ed.
