Reviews of professor David Whitney

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This was an awful class, everything was prerecorded even discussion section. The grades were very unclear and he even recommended to take this class as a p/np. Without the curve I am pretty sure everyone would have failed.

Professor Whitney delivered exceptional lectures that made complex material easy to understand. His humor was an enjoyable element to this course and he kept his students engaged throughout. The course content was interesting BUT the tests were pretty challenging.

I cannot believe this man actually gets paid for how little he does to teach the class. During this online semester, this man decided to pre-record every single lecture AND discussion, meaning we never saw anyone live. Im pretty sure they were reused lectures from last semester too. Absolutely horrible teacher with very little clarity in his class

Great at lecturing and very funny. Very good at clarifying difficult concepts and extremely accessible as a professor.

Took his cogsci class as an extra to supplement my other courses. Ended up being super interesting and fun, and the lectures were always engaging. Very approachable and fun. Tests are worth a lot in the class though, and they are pretty difficult.
