Reviews of professor Briana Whiteside

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I am currently still taking her class and it's mid semester but I didn't want to forget to write her a post. I went to her first week of classes asked to meet bc I was worried about doing things right but she's a very nice professor, understanding & you will feel very comfortable with her. She's very fair and amazing at what she does.

It was an online, web-based class during the COVID-19 restrictions so I didn't interact with Professor Whiteside outside of grading and feedback. She is a fair grader, and if you participate in the group discussions and turn in all of the homework, you'll do fine. BUY/RENT THE TEXTBOOK! You can't find the free PDF online.

Dr. Whiteside is one of the most all-around wonderful teachers I've ever learned from. On top of the superb reading she assigns and a well-designed class structure, it is clear she cares about her students as individuals and about their unique learning processes. She thoughtfully approaches students' questions and comments. Super helpful feedback!

Dr. B is amazing! One of my favorite UNLV professors. She is passionate about literature and cares about her students. The reading is mandatory, there are daily quizzes. There are group discussions about the reading and at the end of the semester you get graded on participation. Do the reading and participate and youll do great.

i was hoping for deeper critical/analytical thnkng in the class discussions, smtmes just seemd like a book tlk amongst people who know very little about politics/real life beyond their perspective (like art stdnts trying to discuss science stuff) and labelling their perspectives as being factual.lots of quizzes, mandatory class,no rounding up final

This course wasn't designed by her, but she was alright as a prof. Takes a long time to respond to emails, didn't offer much feedback on assignments, due dates weren't on every assignment, and only some of the grades were actually included in the total. But grades were fair and assignments were easy to follow.

She selected some interesting readings, they were what I looked forward to most in class. When it comes to communicating with her, she expects more respect and formality than most other professors, which unfortunately, was sometimes condescending and borderline degrading.

If Whiteside suspects you don't agree with her politics, beware. Too busy to teach, relies on students to present & carry every class period. No provided examples of the 3 graded assignments, each different. Feedback on 2 assignments included insult & accusation of racism yet 0 feedback on final project earning 100%. ?? Anxiety inducing Grad Sem.
