The other reviews from Fall 2020 are a little unfair for some points. Professor White did a great job in lectures fully explaining everything in great detail and posted every lecture on CCLE (this was taken during online classes), so attendance was not mandatory and you could go back and get all of the details down that she explained. Her slides are far more detailed than Chandlers or Piris were and her lectures were the most useful. I did not even need to read any of the textbook during her portion of the class. The midterm was 10 short answer questions in 1 hour (just like Chandlers), which was very hard for timing. White did at least not make us follow a strict word limit or create 3 different documents as Chandler did. Her exam was very straightforward and the questions were very fair if you followed her lectures. I agree that some of the grading points were kinda absurd and cared more about formatting than the actual content; however, she gave us TEN POINTS back to every single person's exam even if they did not complain about wanting a regrade. A ton of people complained about this and still complained about the grading (reasonable), but 10 points is a lot and even if they did the regrades that people complained about, it would not have made up for 10 points on every person's exam, so I don't understand why some people were mad about getting 10 points back to their grade when it was probably more than they lost to those absurd grading points? She did say we forfeit the 10 points if we request a regrade worth MORE than the 10 points, which is a detail people are leaving out. idk, people are being petty and unfair and Professor White was a great professor and no one had any complaints about her until they got bad scores on their exams.

You know the monster that slept under your bed as a child? I am convinced it was Stephanie. I think Monsters Inc. should recruit her because instead of harvesting energy from children's screams, she has
somehow learned to harvest the energy of failing students. She curves sure, but the highest grade on any exam was always a 99.99%. I am almost positive she curved it just so that no one could get that golden 100. And, her teaching skills are deplorable. But that is expected. If she was actually good at her job, we would all start succeeding and then how will she harvest students' energy? Maybe she will have to go back to lying under our beds.

Coming off of Chandler's module, this one might seem like a breeze at first glance, but don't write it off that quickly. It does tend to be a little more straightforward, but the sooner you can memorize the normal basal ganglia/ Parkinson's basal ganglia flowcharts, the better. And I do mean memorize them--be able to draw them from scratch, it'll help in the long run. Prof White is really nice and a great professor, definitely no complaints. Her presentations and powerpoints are all perfectly organized. Her thought questions didn't seem to be as helpful as Chandler's, maybe because her module is less conceptual than his, but her office hours were still helpful. Her test was more difficult than his for me, because a lot of the random studies/videos she mentioned in class seemed to just be interesting tangents worth mentioning, but many showed up unexpectedly on the test. Still a good class though, her module was definitely not the worst of a three. Definitely a nice break between Chandler and Piri.
