Comment:

When you take Honors 210 do yourself a favor and do not take White's & Ritzenhoff's section. Before, this class was only taught by Ritzenhoff, which everyone said was fun. This was the first year with White & she was awful. Gives no assignment guidelines, not available for help with assignments, and then has audacity to tell you not to worry Awful

Comment:

This is the worst class I have ever taken. The only available Comm 230 section was a 180 student lecture with Cindy White. Worst professor. Attendance is pointless because she goes so off topic and the Powerpoints do not help! Your grade is based off only 3 tests, not leaving you any room for mistakes. All she does it babble.

Comment:

this teacher is okay. After the first test i realized showing up for her lectures was the dumbest thing i was doing. The test are 100 % based on you knowing the terms and identifying them in scenarios. What she talks about in class is so off topic and her slides are generic with no definitions or key notes. They will not help.

Not the most difficult class in the world, but tough grader on papers. Show up on time and stay for the whole class to get the most out of everything. Read the materials that she puts online and you should do well. SHE WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER WRITER. Two tests and three papers. Paper topics are very interesting! Highly recommend

If you really want to learn, this is one of the professors you will want to spend time with. She will challenge you, but that's what you are here for. Cindy White is easily one of the best teachers I've ever had, her lectures are always engaging and well constructed.. Yes, you will have to earn your grade and you will be glad you did.

Comment:

I barely went to class... just for the review and tests. Going to class will just confuse you because all she does is drag on topics and uses big words for no reason. Her power points are literally just words without explanations. The only reason I got a B- was because I never went to class and just read out of the book.

Ms. White was a good teacher and really knew how to make the learning environment fun. The only issue for me is there was only 3 exams and that was your grade. Personally Im not a big fan of that style of grading. Other than that she is a great teacher.

Easy class to follow, even if you don't show up for lectures religiously. Follow the powerpoint and you will be ok. Multiple choice Tests only, no papers, attendance not mandatory but strongly advised

Professor White's class is an easy A because she only has 3 tests (non cumulative) and they're all taken online and you don't have to take them in class. She also doesn't have to take attendance so if you're looking for an easy gen ed to take, this is a great one.

She's a great professor. Very fun and does a good job keeping the class interested. She goes very fast so skipping a class is not a good idea. Also makes the easiest question seem so impossible to answer correctly. 3 papers, 2 tests. No book, just readings here & there online.

very energetic women & makes class interesting, when it comes to grading (esp papers) extremely hard. her hand writing is worse than a doctors. She will give feedback all over papers, but its illegible. I went to office hours and she actually turned me away because she had 2 students coming at the same time. Makes EASY quest impossible to answer

One of the best professors at CCSU. She is hilarious, smart, witty, and a breath of fresh air. She gets your mind thinking outside of the box and places high importance on each student finding their own way and expandig their writing capabilities. Tough grader but so worth it!

Comment:

Her media literacy class was very interesting. Alot of you're grade is based off papers 3 papers and 2 exams. Exams aren't too difficult, tough grader with papers though. She's very funny and can be at times very over zealous. But its very refreshing compared to alot of the boring teachers at CCSU. I strongly suggest her.

She is interesting and entertaining. However she grades very hard. I received a B- on an assignment that I spent so much time and was very concise and well done.

Comment:

Yes, Cindy White is a tough grader esp. if it's a 400 level class, but she's worthwhile. She is brilliant, hilarious, animated, & the most passionate professor I've ever met. She genuinely wants to know what YOU THINK but you'd better think critically. She also drives from MA every day so you know this woman lives to teach. She's a gem.
