"Systems Thinking and Sustainability" was an amazing USEM. Mark White was the most engaging professor I've had at UVA thus far.

Comment:
I took the course long time ago. He was arrogant. I remember that his biggest accomplishment in life was buying a Porsche when he was studying abroad. He was quite proud that his car had higher residuals compared to his friends' first cars. Unfortunately his classes were very uninspirational if you are a creative type.

Condescending, pious, arrogant toward highly intelligent students and colleagues - hopefully he lives up to his own expectations!

Comment:
Students either love him or hate him. White pushes students in a way that sometime borders on offensive, but, he is hands down the best ICE finance professor and he genuinely cares about all of his students. His class frustrated me to no end at times, but he is absolutely the most engaging professor I've had in the Comm School

Comment:
I have not come across an equally condescending professor since elementary school. Do not take his course unless you want to be taken aback by his rudeness. I would have learned more not taking the course and have felt better about myself afterward.

White is an amazing professor. He definitely intimidated me at first, but I've learned a ton about Finance that I never would've otherwise. You'll learn so much without even realizing it in his class, especially compared to other blocks.

Comment:
Finance professor--- White is SO difficult to explain. He is an AMAZING guy, so smart, so passionate about what he does but his teaching methods are hit or miss. While you'll learn a ton from him, youll be confused 100% of the time bc he teached with a "throw you into the deep end" method. He's such a funny guy, worth it.

selectively cruel to some students--attempt to be "firm and fair" comes off as mean and harsh instead.
