Reviews of professor Mikael Whitfield

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Whitfield is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent regarding the Catholic faith. I wish there was more variety in the class, as reading through The Theology of the Body was tedious, but I feel like I gained a lot from this class, even after going to Catholic schools all my life.

Dr. Whitfield took ages to grade anything. Some assignments took him over 2 months to grade. I went through the whole class having no idea what my grade was. Even when he does grade he gives little to no feedback. Ignored emails. Is a very harsh grader if you miss your daily email to him or don't participate enough. Very frustrating class.

Dr. Whitfield is one the best teachers I have ever had. His lectures are engaging and he is extremely intellectual. He really knows what he is talking about and can explain very clearly and concisely. I had him for introduction to theology and Christian Marriage and he is phenomenal. I highly recommend everyone take a class with him.

Very funny and caring teacher. Is very student focused and provides a clear path to getting a good grade. You don't even have to understand the content that much as long as he can tell you're putting in effort and are completing assignments. He is funny and engages students well. His missionary experience also brings energy to boring topics.

Dr. Whitfield really cares about his students and the content he's teaching. It's easy to not do well in his class if you don't do anything, but if you put in bare minimum you will get a good grade. If you talk to him outside of class and do the daily readings you will probably get an A. He makes the content accessible with funny life anecdotes.
