Econometrics class was a very intimidating class, but the professor is very clear in explaining everything. He is open to any suggestions on improving the class. He will not test you on a topic which he didn't discuss in class. Note taking and homework is vital to excelling in class. Grading is very fair. Made review sessions before exams.ECON3460 2015-09-09 15:16:20 +0000 UTC
Easily my favorite professor at Northeastern. Micro-Theory can be a hard subject, but Dr. White is an excellent teacher. Also he's hilarious. Take him for Micro-Theory trust me!MICROTHEORY 2014-03-31 16:59:09 +0000 UTC
Difficult course all-round, and be ready to work hard! No matter what you will learn a lot and if you are an economic major, senior seminar should be very easy! I recommend that this course with him, just be prepared to work hard!!!ECON3560 2015-12-21 22:41:14 +0000 UTC
Great Professor! Highly recommended. He really tries to be funny in class and its just hilarious. Very fair grader too. His tests are clear and if you study a couple of days ahead you will do fine. He also gives breaks in between classes and you just dont fall asleep. I would take his class again.ECON2316 2016-04-27 19:54:42 +0000 UTC
He is honestly just looking to help you learn the material. I found him pretty funny, definitely one of the nicest teachers I've ever had.MICROTHEORY 2013-11-22 14:08:34 +0000 UTC
Great Professor in a weak department. Good lecturer who uses a chalkboard. The class is structured well and he will make sure people are caught up when writing examples. DO NOT buy the textbook, he makes far more sense than it does. Basically, there are about 20 analytical question formats you will learn, and then study a few case studies.ECON2316 2016-04-26 14:04:51 +0000 UTC
Very nice professor. Attending classes is not compulsory but his classes are very useful. Zero textbook use. Quizzes are very fair and are 100% similar to the homework. You should definitely take this class with him.ECON2316 2013-07-29 11:41:01 +0000 UTC
The best economics professor at Northeastern. He is so clear, has a lot of real world experience, and is extremely witty. The class isn't easy, but his tests are very fair and you can do well if you really focus on the homeworks. Don't you dare take micro theory with anybody else!!ECON2316 2013-05-01 17:36:18 +0000 UTC
