Comments:3357 - Dr. White is not a great professor if you are someone who doesn't learn well just by being lectured at. In my experience, he was very condescending over email and made his class unnecessarily hard. I reached out multiple times for help, and he just directed me back to the very vague "study guide," which really just is a list of slides that he thinks you should go back over without much context. There were over 250 slides on the one for the final, and when you're taking 18 credit hours, that can be extremely frustrating. He as far as I know only teaches in the fall. He's almost completely lecture-based based which means the majority of your grade is exams, quizzes, and attendance. Yes, you do need the textbook, and it does take a lot to stay on top of everything with his class, and I know it is possible to pass his class. If you take him, I'd stick with his class being the only CSD core class you're taking for that semester. We really needed a TA/GSE, and I did end up emailing the dean, asking for one if possible.  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:anatomy - Although the course was difficult, it is very possible to make an A if you stay on top of studying. There is SO much material, so you really have to study often or you'll get behind before exams. He lets you retake quizzes, so that should be an easy 100%. I personally enjoyed his class, but many people complain - probably bc of the large amount of info you need to memorize for every exam. But overall he explains everything well, and his class definitely helped prepare me for the upper level CSD courses I'm in now.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:3357 - Okay, hear me out. Yes, this course is hard and does require a lot of studying, but I feel like that is a given for a course such as Anatomy. Homework only ever consisted of quizzes that were easy points, as you can do the quiz as many times as needed to receive a 100%. We would sometimes have 'pop' quizzes which were never really pop as he would give us a heads up on the diagrams that we needed to study. I thought his lectures were pretty helpful as he used a lot of analogies, drawings, and went into detail when asked to further expand into topics. When it comes to test, I won't lie, they are hard. There is a lot of material to cover which makes it hard to study for exams. He did give us review guides for them, but was pretty vague when we would ask questions during the test review. I wish we would have had a TA for the entirety of the course because that did make a difference. Overall, Ryan White is a great guy and a good teacher, but the vagueness in test reviews made studying for dense material extremely hard and nerve wrecking. Be prepared for a lot of studying, but don't let the material's difficulty be the reason you don't take Ryan White!  - Grade In Class:B+
