Student Feedback

Selected comments from recent student course evaluations (not robust to including the other comments):

Professor White was a terrific teacher. He did a very good job at explaining our material and offered great help when needed. It was very easy to learn from him.

Our professor communicates things in a very good way that makes the class a little more fun, as well as making the material easier.

He is very kind and understanding. He truly seems like he wants what’s best for his students.

Professor White has an excellent way of teaching. His lectures provide great context for the textbook and what topics to look out for; the lecture slides are neat, organized, and concise.
