Reviews of professor William White

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. White was nice, but I do not recommend him at all. He waits till the very end of the semester to grade assignments, and he never discusses upcoming assignments in class. He also has a very dry teaching style and sense of humor, so his lectures often felt boring. I felt so relieved when the class was over.

Great class and teaches engaging material. If I had put more effort into the presentations, I would have gotten an A but even slacking off, I easily got an A-.

There's plenty of time to prepare for assignments/reading, and due dates are in the syllabus on day one. Attendance is not technically required, but there are random reading quizzes, so it's a tossup if you decide to skip. Class is interesting enough that I wouldn't be tempted to skip, and reading quizzes aren't bad if you actually read the book.

I came into this class with ZERO interest in historic preservation. Professor white makes his lectures really interesting, and genuinely cares for his students. He is great about answering emails and making accommodations for students. If you get a bad grade on one assignment it doesn't ruin your grade for the class.

Oh boy am I excited to write this one. Professor White is an absolutely AMAZING lecturer and deserves all the praise he gets. He always finds a way to make class discussions super engaging and worth your time. As long as you do the reading and show up to class you will enjoy your time with him. By far the best SCLA 102 professor.

Professor White is my favorite professor I've had at Purdue so far. He picks very interesting and thought provoking books to cover and the speeches are always open ended so you get to pick your own topic. He really connects with his students and there is never a boring class, I highly recommend taking SCLA from Dr. White.

Great guy and a good teacher. You will read a lot in the class, and there are pop quizzes based on the assigned reading. SparkNotes/other summary sites are not very useful because he checks them before making the quizzes. Stick to the rubric and you'll get an A relatively easily on the speeches and essay. If you're reading this, hi Dr. White

Professor White certainly has his own teaching style. The only assignments you are given are 6 papers, so it was tough to bring my grade up considering there were a total of 6 papers making up my entire grade. He also took FOREVER to grade anything, so you never know what your grade is. Also wasn't very nice in general and never answered emails.

White is a great professor. I learned a lot and would take a class from him again. The lectures are engaging. That being said, he is a big fan of group projects, so beware! While the projects and essays are explained well, he often waits until the last minute to assign these, leaving little time to actually get the project done.
