Comment:
Classes are all lecture, must take notes.He really knows his stuff.His grading is merciless.I (as with many many others) studied hard and got 0's-40's on our tests.Out of 100!He is a very nice guy but teaches at a harder level than most (especially at a CC).Study the study guides meticulously and you should do okay. Tests are all handwritten.

I take exception to anyone who calls Dr Whitehorne a Nazi..he is brilliant and I enjoyed his class completely. Yes you have to pay attention and take notes...but this is college people. I learned more from him than any other professor I ever had.

He knows so much about history its crazy. He is a great guy, very nice and willing to help. His tests are hard, and he dosen't believe in multiple choice. So an easy A its not, but you will learn so much from this class.

Dr. Whitehorn is a very smart man. He really knows what he is talking about. You can't miss any of his classes because you will get lost. He's a very nice person outside of class, always says hi and wants to know how you are doing. But if you are just looking for an easy A then do not take his class.

This was the hardest class I've had at lfcc and most rewarding. I had no interest in history before taking this class but Prof. Whitehorne's witty coments made it enjoyable. I don't recommend this class to anyone who expects to be given a good grade just for showing up. He makes you work for it.

His lectures were kinda long but really interesting. Like someone said once, in order to be a good history teacher, you have to be a good storyteller first and i think that he had that down pat. but his tests were freaking hard as hell!!!

Hint for this class. Buy a tape recorder cause for real you will wont to hear it again. He is a knowledgable man but poor at getting the point across. Whatever you do make sure you dont take his class but for 50 mintues at a time and trust me you will be ready to go way before the 50 minutes is up. Uppers recommend intake before class!

He is very hard. Not very helpful. Gets alot of his info wrong. Dont ask him anything about asian history he has no clue. He makes it up if you do ask. I passed the class with out many issues. I was very disappointed in his teaching skills. If you take him you will be bored.

A professor who can teach at any four-year school, but chose to come to Lord Fairfax. You will do well if you read assignments and pay attention in class. Has a story for every situation, has been everywhere and done everything. A great teacher.

Comment:
very difficult.. he is an expert, though... he has like, 10 books out and is even interviewed on the History Channel from time to time... if you want an easy grade, steer clear... but if you want to learn, this is your man... he was the US navy and army historian before he RETIRED to teaching... :)
