Love Prof White! He's a very sweet person, knowledgeable, and funny in a dorky way. I also had him for HIST357. Workload was: 5-15 min of reading per class, 2 papers (based off books), and 3 exams (3-4 essay questions). There's a textbook but he scanned the parts we read. Take him if you like history :)

Professor White gives great presentations. They are filled with lots of cool details, he's knowledgeable, but speaks in an engaging way. I highly recommend taking his class. The course had three 10 question exams, each with their own short response, and two essays. The essays had good feedback, and the quizzes were fair if you watched the videos.

The class was 3 hours long but it didn't even feel like it, that's how much I liked it. Professor White is awesome, and he really cares about his students. There is no midterm, a 10 page final paper and a few papers due in between that were no more than 3-4 pages. He's a great professor and I would totally take him again.

Dr. White is very funny and hardworking. He is very passionate about what he teaches. You need to go to class in order to do well on exams, his lecture isn't posted anywhere. He's not an especially tough grader

Make sure you're taking notes during class and if you're not there, get the notes. Exams cover some specifics, but a lot of general questions that you want to understand. Really nice guy and fun to talk to about different things.

Two exams (non cumulative). The midterm exam has one essay and the final has two. On exams there are also IDs which are short paragraphs you need to write to describe a historical figure or key word. He gives the essay topics beforehand so you know what to study. Also one map quiz and two papers (based on two different books youll have to read).

He really makes the topics he's teaching interesting and is a pretty fair grader. He's also a super nice, funny, cool British guy who is really passionate about world history and it's just a great atmosphere to be surrounded by. However, be prepared to take a lot of notes or record his lectures.

I've always hated history but Prof White made this class easier to understand. You must go to lecture to get notes and he lectures the entire time with no words on the powerpoint, only pictures. A few quizzes, midterm, and final but he tells you exactly what is on each. Overall, not a bad class if you go and pay attention.

Prof. White is one of the best professors I've had in my collegiate experience. He is incredibly knowledgable about the topics he teaches, and all the while offering some choice commentary in signature british wit. He expects you to read and contribute to class, and will not let you off the hook easily. So do the homework.

This isn't the professor to take if you're not an auditory learner (or you are easily distracted). The powerpoints are only pictures, and UDCapture is used to supplement on information he did not have time to discuss in lecture. Overall, I really liked his class and would take him again for a HIST course.

Professor White was amazing but that is because I love history. If you're looking for an easy Group B requirement I would steer clear of him. He lectures for the full time with only pictures and maps on his powerpoint, so you have to take your own notes the whole time. Gives a midterm and a final, two easy quizzes, and two papers.

Great Professor. Lectures are long and there are a lot of notes which you have to go to class to get, but if you go and pay attention and take good notes its an easy class. 2 exams, which are not hard if you pay attention, and 2 4 page papers which are graded very leniently. No homework. Over all an interesting course, would recommend to others.

Pretty easy class. As long as you put in some work you can get an A. Professor White is very respectful and passionate about what he teaches. The only negative about this class is he doesn't post notes/powerpoints so you pretty much have to go to class for the notes, although attendance isn't necessary.

I thought this class was going to be easy because I read the reviews and I needed a breath requirement filled. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. His lectures are so boring and his accent puts you to sleep. If you have absolutely no interest in the changes France underwent during the twentieth century, I seriously advise you to choose a different elective.

It's an upper level class: If you read the two books and write an adequate paper for each you will do fine in the class. I honestly had nearly 0 notes to prepare from for the midterm and final; I barely went to class because I would fall asleep yet I got a b-/c+ average on the assignments. If you want an A, go to every class and take notes. Easy.

Professor White is AWESOME! His accent is great & even though it is a boring subject, I never lost too much interest. We had weekly readings which took some time, but it is a seminar so we didn't do much else. The biggest assignment is the long research paper which he is very willing to help with. I definitely recommend him.

Sweetest professor. Very helpful and clear. Two exams and a few easy quizzes. One paper. Not difficult. Reviews very well before exam. GO TO CLASS- you take at least five pages of notes and they are very helpful to have. Very funny and enjoyable. Definitely recommend him even though class is boring.

I have never seen any prof/teacher in my whole academic career with more respect for his students than Prof White. Despite his brilliance, he is very down-to-earth unlike so many other professors in the history dept. He has a great sense of humor and makes classes so interesting with his slides, music, etc. Basically, he's the man. Take his classes
