Reviews of professor Phillip Waite

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I liked his class. Clear cut hardly any busy work. 3 test that are straight from the powerpoint (Do not need the textbook). A short discussion every week and 3 short event essays. Attend a blood drive etc and answer a few questions. He's a pretty chill guy, and there are no lectures really.

Fantastic class! I loved his down to earth personality and all of the hands-on activities. He really knows his stuff and has great stories to tell! Phil definitely cares about whether his students learn the skills and material.

Dr. Waite is an amazing professor. He cares about his students a lot. He wants us to succeed and will always give you help if you ask for it. His lectures are very interesting! The only thing that's hard is his exams are on scantrons and the questions are very specific. You have to review the material in order to get an A in the class.

Dr. Waite obviously updated this course. Look for his personal story in his intro. Really amazing! He now provides video lectures from an in-person section of the class, guest lectures and links to documentaries that relate to the content. This class covers so much material! He's really fair though. I loved the class!

Honestly Dr. Waite is a great professor. He is passionate about what he teaches, however, his exams are unreasonably difficult for a community health class. There is a level of study that is hard to require of pre-med, kinesiology majors, etc. for a community health class. The first exam had a class average that was below a 50%. prepare to study

This guy is completely awful. The only things he puts on your grade is the 3 exams and 3 papers. He puts in the bare minimum of work and teaching. He does 0-1 lecture a week. The past 3 weeks he hasnt even uploaded a lecture. He has these powerpoints that have about 100 vocab terms to memorize per chapter. All tests are closed note and closed book.

This class was TOUGH. The exams are proctored so no notes are allowed. You have to try to memorize like 5 pages of information and then end up not doing well on the exam. After doing horrible on the first one I reached out for his advice on how to study and I didnt really get a real answer. A lot of the students didnt do well on these exams

Easily one of the best professors I've had in years. Well designed class: 3 exams straight from the book, 3 "event" essays, and not much else. Structure of class (bigger but fewer assignments) allowed me to get them done, and then focus on my other classes (instead of 50 small ones spread out). Totally fair grading! Genuinely willing to help. Great

Dr Waite was such a down to earth professor. He was great and very knowledgeable! Sometimes the lectures could be a little boring, but this class was very worth it. Workload was not bad at all but there are only 3 exams. I would take another class from him again!
