  No one said that I had to do excel homework for math. It was easy with all the homework and the tests were based on the homework you learn. He tells you what to do for the excel, I'm just stupid at understand.

  Really nice and understanding! Willing to answer any questions and spend time outside class to help you understand. Homework only required the effort of trying, not getting EVERYTHING right, which was really nice. And tests were based off of the homework program! There were some projects that were a little difficult, but overall was great :)

  When you're doing homework what he wants you to do is complete your homework on paper then taking a picture on you're phone. But the problem is he doesn't tell you that he expects you to know everything.

  I will say this man was one of the few professors who actually cared to prepare his students for studying math at the undergraduate level and I only say this after taking his class in spring 2020 and currently taking 300 level math classes at CNU. My difeq class I'm in now is a joke so far thanks to what this man put us through.

  There is a lot of homework, and they get harder as the lectures go on. TAKE THE PRACTICE EXAMS. If you do only one thing for this class it should be to take those. Projects can be hard but they're explained well. I found Pearson videos better than the actual lectures because it was at my pace. You can pass this class but you need to put in work.

  This class was extremely homework and exam oriented. We had one lecture per week, to which the slides and material he went over were never posted to the class canvas page. The projects were very simple and he included all instructions. He left you with what you needed and that was it.

  He is a great mathematician, but rough as a teacher. If you don't understand something right away, he gets really frustrated and the class is ridiculously exam-oriented; its worth 85%.One thing I did like was how organized and systemic his lectures were. Theory, Proof, example, repeat. Best advice I can give, do the assignment the day its given

  To be really honest I knew the fundamentals of mathematics when I took this class. He honestly expects you to understand every concept from a to z in 4 months (per semester). He goes way too fast while presenting his slides and to prepare for this class you need to study 8 hours everyday. Some students passed and some students failed. So Idk tbh

  This class seems easy, but the weight of the work is crazy. In the syllabus, you need to study for at least 8 hours a day to pass your exams. Also, you need to upload your homework through canvas by paper.... He won't tell you how to upload it on the very first day, he just expects the class to know everything. If you struggle math don't take him..

  This class is very homework heavy, but if you understand the homework you will almost certainly get an A on tests. He doesn't try anything tricky or sneaky; follow his syllabus and you'll be fine. If you're looking for a personable teacher, go elsewhere. If you're looking to get out what you put in, take the class.

  Prof. White is a great lecturer and his exams are fairly easy. He assigns a lot of homework but you will definitely come out of the class with a deep understanding of the subject. Once you get past his unpleasant personality, the class great.

  Pros: Clearly understands the content, organized, and punctuated. He's accessible outside of class.He finds a clear link to previous lessons.Cons: He often responds to answers to questions with sarcasm. This works for me, but is understandably harsh if you were truly answering to try your best. He also does not allow extensions without paperwork.

  Prof. White isn't a great prof. at all! He goes too fast with the slides, he doesn't actually help you and if he does he gets annoyed. he can't give out proper instructions to safe his life. I just won't take him in general. save the money and stress and him someone else.

  HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. do not take this class. I saw his bad reviews and still signed up because it was my only option but I suggest you dont do that. He doesnt care about his students actually learning and understanding the material. When you ask questions he just gets annoyed like hes so angry you dont understand. Dont take this class.

  If you struggle with math I wouldn't recommend him. He moves very fast and doesn't post PowerPoint unless you email him for them. If you can teach yourself math/understand math easily he is a good prof for u. He tries to help with group activity but only leaves 10mins for them which isn't enough time to get help. I struggled a lot in his class

  Whoever doesn't like Prof. White is insane, he's super knowledgeable in his field. It's a tough course in general, so you can't blame him for it. Lectures are useful DON'T SKIP, 2-3 homework/week but they're easy. Exams and finals aren't worth much, practice exams will have similar questions to real exams. Ask him for more help with excel projects.
