One of the best teachers at chico state. I loved going to this class. It's not easy, but you will learn a lot, and enjoy yourself in the process. Definitely take this guy. I want to take another one of his classes.
He is the BEST teacher I have ever had. It shows that he really loves to teach. Even though the material was difficult he helps you understand it. I don't think I would have made it through this course if it wasn't for him. I absolutely recommend him. He is just simply SUPER!
Probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. He explains course material very well and incorporates humor into the class. Take Winzenz for any class you can, you're sure to excell!!
One of the best teachers. Class is engaging and entertaining. He makes all the information fun and uses a lot of videos to expalin things better. If you take this class, get this teacher!
explained everything in simple terms (i.e., seven easy steps). made statistics easy and fun. don't hesitate to take his classes.
TAKE THE CLASS EVEN IF YOU DON"T HAVE TO! This class was so great and it is all becuase of the teacher. It was my most favorite class to go to and I loved every moment of it! He prepares you and tells you all about tests and lectures are easy to comprehend!!!
DAVID RULES- I WOULD TAKE THIS CLASS OVER IN A SECOND. I CANT WAIT TO HAVE MORE CLASSES WITH HIM.
He is wonderful! Brings Candy to class and helps you with anything. Positive and a fabulous teacher. Take his classes!
Super interesting - always well prepared and easy to understand!
Take classes with him whenever possible; you will learn and you will like it. He's awesome; I had him my first year and he's still one of my favorite professors ever.
Winzenz is the best teacher at Chico. Fun, interesting, quirky, and adds candy and fun aids into materials. Take him over any teacher, he rocks!
David is THE MAN!!! Enough said...
Good teacher, a bit **** I feel, energetic, is pro student and always willing to help
He is the cutest old man ever!! He reminds me of my grandpa did when my gramps was still alive. Anyway I love his teaching, his college sense of humor, and his super long arms and legs.
David should teach some of the other staff in the psychology department how to teach. He is the best, take him if you have the chance to. You won't regret it!
One the the best teachers I've ever had!! He was always well prepared for class with the coolest lectures and examples. Great class...lots of laughs and fun...
No Comments
AWESOME, don't necessarily need to attend lecture, but i always did because i wanted to hear what he had to say, the material way very interesting
Take his class.. he is the best professor ever! I went to every single class-- becuase i wanted to! he is amazing and very fair! his son is also pretty good too! if you have to take anatomy take it with him at butte
One of the best professors I have ever had!
He makes it so easy to understand the material. He always shows clips of movies and is really funny. He talks the whole class but it's fun. The tests are easy if you study because it comes straight from the book. He gets you interested in psychology.
His class is my favorite psych class ive taken! He makes the material easy to learn and the tests come straight from the text book. His activites in class are fun and he always knows how to make the class laugh.
Very interesting material, he is great.
Winzenz is the best teacher I've had in a long time. He really takes the time to make sure everyone has a good understanding of class material. he presents statistics in a different way from teachers ive had in the past. if you need to take stats - take winzenz.
David is great! He has interesting lectures and is extremely helpful. Great sense of humor and laugh. Listen to the lectures and you'll do fine on exams with a little studying. Always go to optional mneumonic sessions. Don't hesistate to take this class. I'd love to have David for another class in the future!
Easiest class I've ever taken. No, wait... This is the 2nd easiest. Art 4 with DR. Masami Toku was the easiest.
ABSOLUTE GENIUS. God amongst mediocre professors. Praise be to Winzenz!
AMAZING! One of the best teachers I've had in a long time! Takes time to learn everyones names and is very approachable! Take a class with him and you will not regret it :)
Professor Winzenz ROCKS! He is dedicated to helping you understand Statistics in the easiest way possible. He lays everything out for you in his course pack and his lectures are always interesting. Don't miss candy lecture days, you will be lost without them! He is funny, intelligent, and witty. You will enjoy his course.
Wonderful teacher, my favorite class this semester. The tests are a little bit hard, just study from the study guides in the book and pay attention in class Very interesting class and definetely not boring.
He is really cool. He is also funny and makes some comments about sex so pay attention. It will spice the class up. He also does lots of in class activities. really fun.
Afraid to pronounce foreign words! What a stooge.
By far the best teacher i have ever had...if you ever get a chance to take a class with him do it!!!
Winzenz is one of the best teachers i have ever had! If you are not good at math, take him, he makes it fun and easy to understand. Takes time to learn your name, has great stories and is very prepared for class. Tests are long but easy if you study. And he brings candy on important lecture days. Basically, he's the best.
I am currently still in David's class and he is by far the most helpful teacher. Being a freshmen he has shown me a standard to hold all of my professors too. I would gladly recomend David!
LOVED his class one of the best teachers that I have ever Had!!!! you can tell that he truley loves to teach!
loved him!
This class was VERY Tedious and very difficult, but it is required. He gives 2 tests and a final and none of them are cumulative. He gives great study guides and his class is really well structured. VERY HELPFUL. VERY hard to get an A.
I hate math, but for some reason I love statistics with Dr. Winzenz. Lecture is fascinating, and lab isn't so tough. Go to class, pay attention, take notes, keep up with the assignments, and I guarantee you'll be fine.
David is a great teacher. His classes are immensely interesting and he makes them engaging and fun to participate in. He is humorous and easygoing and is always happy to help you out with anything you need - even if it doesn't partain to his class.
David is one of the best professors I have ever had! Very funny, very helpful. He is a gem in a crazy psychology department run by idiots. After you take his class - change your major and leave the state. Good luck.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself in his psychology class. He is so much fun and so crazy, you can't help but enjoy the class! The work required is fairly easy (besides reading the book), nothing cumulative. I'm definitely going to try & take another class by him.
This guy rocks, he is straight foward and has good humor
Winzenz is the best teacher I have had EVER! He is funny, makes the class fun even though the topic is beyond dull, and he makes so much time for his students! The class is really hard but he helps you get through it. Go to class, DO NOT skip lab and you should be good!
AWESOME TEACHER. This class was very interesting and very easy. All you do is watch case studies and have class discussions. The final is based fully on the study questions and on the videos you watch in class.
I LOVE DAVID! He is the best teacher i have ever had!
i really enjoyed his class!
I took this class to fully make sure I wanted to become a Psych major. I actually look foward to going to his class. He is very entertaining and makes psychology VERY interesting. I would strongly recommend him :)
Best teacher ever! He explained things very well and he made things easy to understand! The quizzes are easy if you do the study guide that he gives you each week. I really liked him and he was the reason that i chose Psychology as my major.
He is an amazing teacher! You can tell he really cares about his job and his students. *He brings candy to most of his classes so make sure you show up!
Dr Winzenz, is by far my favorite professor so far, his lec are hilarious yet very informative, his exams are not easy but if you attend class and lab you will do great. You can tell he loves what he does, as well as his interst for each student to really learn and understand, always willing to explain and re-explain any questions of confusion, I d
David is one of the best professors I have ever met in the Psychology Department. This is my second class with him and he is amazing! His teaching style is clear, to the point and hilarious. He appeals to his students interests and makes working on statistics fun. He will always remember your name and give you a smile.
David is a great teacher with interesting and interactive lectures. I'm not incredibly interested in the subject, but I still managed to learn a lot from him. He is also a very nice guy.
absolutely amazing professor. passionate, helpful, funny, accommodating. great at using examples and methods of relaying information in a way we can relate to and understand. even though i cant stand stats, i enjoyed attending his classes and learned so much.
I will miss Dr. Winzenz. He makes stats much more interesting with relatable video clips that are also entertaining and often funny. I especially enjoyed the music he always had playing as we came in in the morning. And his candy lectures are great! Very cool! Thank you, Dr. Winzenz. I enjoyed getting to meet you and talk with you over the semester
Professor Winzenz is a great teacher! Extremely helpful & passionate about teaching Statistics. You definitely have to go to each lecture (especially if you are not great at statistics, like myself) but any question you have be prepared to take the Handy Dandy Lovely Lavender Quickie Guide with you. Overall hard class but GREAT professor
I think Dr. Winzenz is my all time favorite teacher. He is extremely helpful and passionate to make sure his students learn what they need to learn and receive the letter grade they deserve. Statistics is not easy, but he makes it fun! I never even knew that was something I could say before. Highly Recommended!!
He is the best professor ever! This was a very hard class, so attending the lectures is crucial to passing this class. I got an A, because I attended every lecture, studied for the tests, went to every lab and participated in EC. Going to lecture is not tedious because he makes them so funny and interesting. I loved stats after this class!!!!!
Dr. Winzenz is a great professor. He hands out the syllabus on the first day with a bunch of papers that have everything you need to know for the course so no book is needed. You can choose to get points for attendance to get a better grade if you always attend classes but it's not mandatory. He's clear and to the point, if you work hard it's easy.
Great Professor. Gives out everything you would need to succeed in class the first day. Always super helpful and makes class as entertaining as he can. Has awesome lectures with different case studies that overlap with other psychology classes and gives out candy. Definitely take Stats with him if you have the opportunity despite the 8am lecture.
David is awesome! His quizzes are five easy questions and he is really funny in class. Does fun projects too. Take him for HSC!
Winzenz was a fantastic professor. For such a difficult class for those who might not be a math wiz, he really wants you to do well. The lab portion is really where you get your learning done. Go to class, and do all your problem sets.
It's pretty difficultto make statistics interesting if it's not your bag. Winzenz works very hard to both engage, and make very clear material that is quite challenging for many students. This is my 3rd statistics class, and his method of lectures, and homework assignments are by far the most conducive to learning this material. Highly recommended.
Dr Winzenz is amazing. I am not a big math person let alone stats, however he made it easier to understand and was very helpful I got an A- , the best grade I have ever gotten in a math class. You'll work for it but in the end you will take home knowledge and understanding! Take good notes and go to class
Winzenz is an amazing professor! He really cares about his students and is there to help you. Test are not bad 2 parts, part one multiple choice and 2 is open notes during lab. He gives candy!!!!! Take him you will learn, it's hard work but if you work hard it pays off!
Absolutely amazing man, truly a role model to aspire to be. I have no interest in being a psychology major but he makes me want to change that.
This class is not easy BUT this professor makes it so easy for you it's insane. He gives you everything you need the first day and leaves nothing unclear. Also everyone gets to choose how they individually graded in the class on the first day! Holla!
funny and helpful
By far the best professor in the department. Stats isn't everyone's favorite topic but Dr. WInzenz is SOOO helpful!!! I wish I could take him for all my major courses!
Very easy to understand. Gives the option at the beginning of the year for you to choose if you want attendance to be part of your grade or not. Material is way easier if you actually show up to class and learn it and his lectures are fun so no harm in going
Dr Winzenz is the best professor I have had. The course is tough and you will be pushed to learn this subject, but he makes class a pleasant experience. Don't miss lectures and spend time on the homework and you'll do good.
All of these reviews are so accurate! Winzenz is probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. You can tell he loves the topic and loves teaching. Although the class is pretty early in the morning, he makes the 3 hour lecture/lab interesting. You can use any notes on the lab portion on the exam. Go Winzenz!
He's a good guy and the best choice if you want stat. met. in psych to be somewhat interesting. he gives you his version of the book. it's way better. He's trusting and makes the subject somewhat enjoyable when you're doing you lab work. he also gives you candy.
One of the best professor's EVER at Chico State! Im not a big math person, however professor Winzenz goes above and beyond for his students and relates the material to everyday life. He is so funny and really makes it worth the lecture at 8 am. You will not regret this teacher! Changed my life.
Winzenz is one of the best if not THE best on campus! He teaches a large info heavy class in a very real and understandable way. He seems like an intimidating serious man but he cracks a lot of little jokes and will go over whatever u need help with over and over until u get it. He is amazing and i would definitely suggest enrolling in his class!!
Dr. Winzenz is one of the best professors for Psychology at Chico State. He gives plenty of opportunities to complete the homework, he allots time for practice tests and reviewing the material, he makes lectures fun with candy and all sorts of fun activities, and overall he makes Statistics understandable. HIGHLY recommend.
One of the best courses I have ever taken here at Chico State. He is one of the greatest professors I have ever had. He also grades very fast which i love.I recommend.
Very respectable prof who knows how to make the class laugh which was nice as it was one of the most intense classes I've taken at Chico State. You have to work for it but I'm glad I was lucky enough to be able to take the course with Winzenz. No book purchase required. Expect to learn new stats concepts than 105 this is not the same.
