Reviews of professor William White

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I made this account just to say this: Dr. White is a phenomenal professor and person. If you have the choice between him and any other professor it shouldn't be a question who you should choose. Just read the books, and you'll do more than fine.

The class consisted of discussions from readings he posted on Canvas (I read none of the readings and could still participate). The grade consisted of 3 papers, 3 dialogue papers, and participation. While these are few grades, he graded all of them at the end of the semester, meaning that you didn't know your grade until the semester was over.

Prof. White is a great professor. His class is easy to pass if you read the books he tells you to. Don't read  F on quiz. You can't use spark notes, it won't work to help you pass his quizzes. There is a clear grading rubric for the essay and speeches.

The first paper he grades really hard, but you have the option to re-write it. Quiz every two weeks online, and you have two chances to pass. He teaches you to write logically, and he clearly states what he wants out of his students.

Professor White is amazing at explaining through examples, his lectures were my favorite part of class. He was entertaining and always had thorough answers to students questions. He did take a long time to grade essays (which were the majority of our grades) but he was always fair. Show up to class and turn in your work and you will get A's or B's.

I couldn't wait a million years to post this. Dr. White makes lectures fun and entertaining and he is very understanding. He is also very fair with grading and most of the books that we read in class are interesting, however make sure to actually read the assigned pages because reading quizzes are pulled directly from the book. Highly recommend:)

By far the best professor for SCLA 102. This was my favorite class this semester because he goes to effort to connect with his students on a personal level. His sense of humor is great and he can make even the heavy topics covered in the class lighthearted in some way. Quizzes are random and specific but as long as you do the reading you'll be fine

Bill really cares about students and I learned so much from him. Great for archaeology students especially, he has a ton of professional experience. Created an awesome classroom environment and his assignments are very reasonable. One of my fave classes at Cal!
