It is just the beginning of the semester, but this professor realy rock. He is so thorough (even though he is super-strict). He is also so young--and muscular--and hot!!!!! I am happy to be in this class!
No Comments
He is really strict, but he is good. He doesn't play any games with you. I had Wynter and Irvin for 101 and 102. They are very different teachers, but good combination. (And they are super sexy)
blah blah blah blah blah he is a good teacher blah blah blah great teacher blah blah the best writing teacher I've had
I had him his 1st and 2nd semester he came to Rutgers for english 101 amd 102...He is very strict and does not like lazy students however he willing to help those who want to help themselves.He will give you points for going to the writing center.Just go to class and make an efforst, PARTICIPATE and you will get a good grade.
Great professor. Just make sure you do your readings BEFORE class and participate. Had him for eng 101 and 102. Got an A and a B+. also gives credit for improvement. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
horrible...stay away im still tryin to get my grade changed. got Bs on all my papers gave me a C in the class told me he would change it to a C+ i fought my grade told me i deserve a B he still refuses to change my grade its been a semester.
RUN! you do not want this professor! He is a tough grader!
This is the only teacher that has succeeded in teaching me how to write. His methods may be tough, but in the end, you learn. If you want an easy A, dont take him. If you want to learn how to write, don't take anybody else!
This professor helped me with my time management skills and helped me become a more responsible student. He doesn't accept late papers, and he does not like students being late. However, he is always there to help, even on his own time. You'd have to be really dumb or really lazy not to learn in his class.
Let me first start by saying I was never happy with my writing and that I HATE English. The class is tough but you learn so much and because of his teaching method I am now confident in my writing abilities. If you are going to slack off or not come to class don't take him, but if you want to learn look no further.
If you want to learn how to write and are ready to work for it then this the teacher for you. If you slack off you will fail. He is strict but he knows what he is doing and can teach
He is very helpful, but he's a really tough grader. There is also one time when he gave one big writing assignment and a small one at the same time, and expected us to hand in both of them on the same day. Try to run.
Most teachers dont care about their students, but Prof Wynters is different. you can feel his passion by the extensive comments that he puts on your papers, and by the efforts he makes to get you to edit the papers over and over again. he truly cares about his students, and that makes me want to be like him. thank your proffessor Wynters.
very strict grader, but he's always there for help! and he likes to put you on the spot!
Very strict as teacher, but also a nice person. He will help you if you make an effort. He is funny and makes class interesting! Great teacher, but tough grader.
Professor Wynter is a great teacher who motivates his students to put an enormous amount of effort in their writing. He is a tough grader, but he is reasonable..do the work and participate in class, and you will be sure to get a good grade!
Professor Wynter is a great person and teacher! I am NOT a great writer which is why I received the grade I received but he will put all his effort into making you pass. Not a class where you can get an easy A and sure as heck not the teacher you want to have if you don't do your work. Great Prof. :)
He is one of the most intellectual professors I've had--he is very interesting and well-learned.
Strict teacher. turns bad writers into good writers and good writers into great writers. I guarantee you that he will improve your writing ability by pushing you to succeed. If you want to become a better writer, take him. If not, then take another easier teacher.
Very Strick !!!!!! You cannot play around and you have to take his class seriously otherwise he will fail you ! but dont worry if you are not doing great in his class you can ask for help and he will make sure you push yourself forward and become a better writer. if you are a lazy person DO NOT take him
One of the best teachers I have had in my life so far. He tells you how it is and how it will be if you don't do your work. He tells you straight up the first day if you don't work you wont pass. Do your work and try your best and you should hopefully make it out with at least a B and if you excel maybe even an A.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Took him for both English 101 and 102. He is a hard grader, but his criticism is helpful and can make you a much better writer. Do not wait 'til last minute to type an essay, he does not take any BS. Is understanding if you need more time on an essay for personal reasons. DON'T GO ABSENT THE DAY AN ESSAY IS DUE!
Professor Wynter is very intimidating at first. But once you get to know him, he is a sweetheart. He is very strict but HE WILL DEFINITELY IMPROVE YOUR WRITING SKILLS! You will definitely benefit from taking his class. He absolutely does not tolerate excuses. Just do the work and engage in class and you will do fine! Wynter is the prof to take!
OVERALL GOOD TEACHER. READ AND COME READY TO DISCUSS. INTERESTING STORIES.
He is an amazing Professor. I recommend him to any student. I worked hard for the grade I received in his course! He is passionate about his work& very helpful!!! He will help you if you show him you want it!
not a fan
I've never had a teacher as strict as this before. But I must say that my writing is way better than before. he hates lazy students so anyone who says they're not a fan or that his quality is poor is definitely the one with poor quality. even dumb kids can become good writers in his class. Ok, maybe not every dumb kid. great teacher!
I heard horror stories about this professor but once you get to know him hes great, intimidating, but great. He just really cares about his students becoming great writers and and being prepared for the rest of their lives. You really have to work your behind off, no excuses with the amount of resources you have available to you.
Best teacher I ever had! Also toughest teacher I ever had. If I had teachers like this in high school I'd be a straight A student!
Professor Wynter was by far the best English professor I've had. He does his best to help you. The key to success in his class is to ask questions and keep up with every single assignment. He isn't an Easy greader AT ALL but that's what makes him the best professor because even though he isn't easy, he challenges students to work hard and learn
Made my freshmen year a nightmare!If you love yourself, don't take his class.
Professor Wynter was by far the best English professor I ever had throughout my entire life of taking English. Yes its a hard class and he is a hard grader but, he does it to push oneself to a high standing point. He is a professor that wants to bring the best out of you and make you successful. He also doesn't stand for laziness so be prepared.
Awesome professor, definitely help me to grow as a writer. He pushes everyone to give their all and does not tolerate laziness.
Prof Wynters honestly made my first semester hell, but if he didn't i'd never truly be prepared for college. He is a great teacher and you should deff consider taking him if you are a hard worker. The amount of effort you put in is how much you will get back.
He was in the military previously and that is where his strict attitude comes from. He is extremely intimidating at first, but he eventually warms up. He absolutely HATES people who don't try their hardest or come to class. Believe me, he knows what you truly are capable of, and he'll give you no choice but to become a better writer. Work hard!
wynter was the 4TH 101 professor i took. . he will tell you EXACTLY WHAT AND HOW to do well in a paper. He is not an easy grader at all. Show up and work hard in his class. he is strict because he sees great potential in everyone so he is not only a great professor but also a GREAT man . i really wish i had this guy earlier in my life
I love Professor Wynter. At first I thought he was too extreme, and he really annoyed me by the way he would grade my papers but at the end of the course I really learned a lot. He teaches you that things don't come easy unless you work for it. His attitude shapes you up for life! I passed the class with a B, he truly believed in me! Hes great!
He taught me more in a semester than I had learned about writing structure and grammar than I had learned in all four years in high school. He told you exactly what you needed to do and gave great feedback.
Awesome Professor! Take him only if you are ready to work really hard. He hates lazy people.
If you want to work really hard take him if you want get a good grade don't.
DEFINITELY TAKE HIM! He is very helpful and is accessible outside the classroom. If you go during office hours, he will help you out a lot. He gives feedback regarding what what you should work on so you can improve your writing skills. Very caring and joyful. Would recommend him. 3-4 formal papers, 2-3 in-class essays and reading assignments.
Listen to me. I received an A so I know what I am talking about. Do not take this professor unless you know that you are a good writer. There are 2 things he focuses on: analysis and grammar. If ur grammar is not perfect, then you are not getting an A. There are plenty of easier professors. However, if u are a phenomenal writer then U can get an A
Very nice teacher but tough grader and sometimes can't be fair at grading! He is very hot though.
If you are a good writer then you will get an A if not then don't take him because he only gives A's to good writers
If you're a good writer, you're off to a good start. If you're mediocre, you'll have to prove to him that you can improve and use all of the resources that you have. Either way, the work has to be done by you; which isn't impossible. It's tedious with the papers and readings, but he's not vague and makes things clear through his feedback.
I just saw a comment that Professor Wynter only gives A's to good writers. This is absurd! Professor W gives A's to people who earn it! He does not grade you based on your efforts, but he does take it into consideration. I got a B from him, and I know I worked hard for it, i don't think I deserve an A! Thanks for improving my writing, Prof Wynter.
If you are ready to learn how to write, take his class. You don't have to be a great writer, you just have to be willing to apply yourself and not be lazy. He gives solid structure to your writing and you can even apply it to other classes. Hes probably stricter than your parents, but this is good, believe me. I am grateful to Professor Whynter.
I tried so hard to drop this course in the first week! I thought it was going to be a nightmare. I'm so happy that I didnt. Guys, get to know this professor before running, you will never meet a more efective English teacher. He will change your life, he changed mine.
I took Lionel Wynter for English 101. He is certainly a tough grader but truly a really awesome guy. If you see him in office hours, he explains his prompts and any other questions you may have. He even looks over your essay and gives feedback as to what you should change/add to pass. You must work hard in the class. It is not an easy A or B.
had him for 101 and it was nightmarish. 4 papers but you must put a TON of effort into them as he can sense how hard you try (he HATES lazy people). Publically shames lazy people so don't be one of them. Does not teach much but forces you to make yourself a better write/analyzer. NOT a class for the lazy/ill-prepared/thin-skinned-BE READY TO WORK
This professor is very inspirational and really cares for all of his students but if you are lazy you will not do good at all. He will give all of the help to people who really try but lazy people he has zero tolerance. He does not have a filter so be prepared for inappropriate comments. Overall he has made my whole class great improved writers.
He is tough grader! Not the best at lecturing! He is good looking I would say he is hot
Professor Wynter was hands down the best English Professor I have ever had. He is very respected and an amazing guy. I would take him again in a heartbeat. Anyone I asked said they became a better writer because of him. Get ready to work and join in on class discussions because they make class 10x better. Enjoy him while you have him!
Wynter is a wonderful professor. First day of class he may come off as a tough teacher, but stick with it because this is his strentgh. Because he is so blunt and specific as to what he wants, you will be able to do well on your papers in his class. DO NOT try to slack off or procrastinate or you wont do well or enjoy the class.
Amazing English Professor. Very tough grader but he does it to help you. He is the best. Take this man if you want to actually learn how to write. If you work hard and especially listen to his feedback you will do good. Slack off and you will fail. I highly recommend Professor Wynter and I will gladly take a course with him again
He is a really amazing professor! He cares about his students a lot. Just do not slack off and go to his office hours
He is honestly the best English professor I have ever had !! Just listen to him and take his feedback seriously. He is a very meticulous grader and will remember how you write and looks at everything on your paper because he wants you to be the best writer you can be. USE THE WRITING CENTER, it will be your new BFF !!!
He's a really hard grader. He was really rude and mean. He puts students on the spot and announces their weaknesses. His personality is really off putting. If you're already a good writer, you should be good, if you're not, you'll struggle, but you'll make it if you go to the writing center and office hours. This class requires hard work.
Prof Wynter is by far the hardest professor I have ever taken but Im grateful for the expereince. He is extremely tough, picks out your weaknesses & puts you on the spot. Im a very shy person so when he did this it was traumatizing. However, his heart is gold. He helped me through hard times working along side me, he is an amazing individual.
Professor wynter truly cares for the growth of his students. His methods are perceived as tough, but this is because he genuinely wants the best from his students. Always give your honest best and you will become a better writer under his tutelage.
Best English professor but that does not mean to take his class lightly. In order to earn a decent grade, you have to attend class as most assignments are announced there. Professor Wynter makes sure each student gets the help they need to understand concept and structure in his class. He is here for you only if you are willing to put in work.
Professor Wynter had definitely the hardest class I have ever taken in my life but I am so thankful for it as he was able to make my writing stronger than ever. Because of the feedback I received from him during office hours as well as during class, I was able to heavily improve my writing. This is not an easy class but with hard work, you can pass
Professor wynter is very tough professor to take but if you do what he tells you to do you will pass his class. attendece is very important.
Professor Wynter is a tough professor although, it pays off in the future. He prepares you and shapes you into a great writer and you will use his tools going forward for practically every class. If you work hard and show up to class, you will get an A. Attendance is mandatory. Just follow instructions and you will be fine in the class.
This course is not a important one, so don't waste your time taking it twice
A really strict professor(military past) but he also has a very humorous and caring side. He does not like excuses and grades fairly, just make sure to not be absent, be on time, and do all the homework for an A. Really inspirational man who will encourage the potential in you and be a great ally and friend even after his class is long passed.
Class Isn't that difficult. Navigating his personality disorders are half the battle. If you're a business student learning things like acumen, emotional intelligence, professionalism, Consistency and timely responses to emails, then beware. Pays student employees under the table to grade his papers. Harrasses and disrespects students unpredictably
Please don't ever take his class. He is really rude, doesn't respect you, very sarcastic in which you don't know if he is serious or not. I developed anxiety because of him and every time I stepped into his class I got really bad nausea. He wants his papers to be really specific, even if you go to the writing center for help they can't do much.
do NOT take this class!! BE WARNED! he gave me so much anxiety just from walking into his class. he grades too hard, he needs to learn that other people have their own sense of writing not just his. he doesn't actually teach, more like he shouts his way to get you to write in his style. very rude and disrespectful. do not take!!!
Professor Wynter is a tough grader, and if you do not write in his style, you won't pass his class. He doesn't like lazy students and it is helpful if you go to his office hours so he knows that you care. I regret not doing that since the beginning.
Do not take his class unless you are an English major. I received a C+ and I have never received a C in an English class in my life. What makes it worse is that I never chose his class. My school placed me in his class, so I had no choice. He is such a tough grader. I think his toughness comes from the fact that he was in the military.
He is tough and will not bump you up but u just need to go to his office hours. He is an amazing teacher but just grades pretty harsh.
He is a tough grader but you will learn a lot from his class. He can come off as a little intimidating in the beginning but he cares about his students.
This man had almost everyone in fear on the first day of classes, attempting to be specific with how he tolerates things by being so strict. He has huge expectations from students and hates laziness. Ill advise you to take his class if you really want to be good writer and you are taking English as a major. Other than that, dont stress yourself.
He is a tough grader but as long as you listen to his advice and attend his classes it should be a breeze. He also is very strict and hates laziness so dont even attempt on slacking off. Once the class progresses he gets really fun and gets a little more lenient. Just stick with him it will help you immensely.
professor wynter is one of the hardest english professors I have ever encountered, yet he is the most caring! this man will make you work your butt off, even if you feel like giving up that man will force that stamina in you to work to finish his essays. tip: be VERY specific in your arguments and get straight to the point.
Dont take this class. You will regret it. Worst semester of my life. You cannot pay me to retake this class or hear this mans voice ever again. Doesnt teach just yells. Gave me anxiety and made me hate writing. Save yourself the despair of taking this class. Only take this if youre prepared to get your papers ripped apart and non clear promts.
Please stay away as far as you can from this class and professor. All he does he forces you to do papers in HIS style of writing just to rip them apart and make you feel like you cant write. He killed my passion for writing and made me feel dumb. Made my anxiety so bad and overall ruined my semester. Please save yourself and avoid this class.
If someone would have told me to anonymously write about his class 7 years ago when I had him as a professor, I would have left a scathing review. Today I am so compelled to write this review because I am so grateful I took his class. He pushed us so hard!! Because of this class I can write multiple paged papers back to back on zero sleep THANKS :D
Professor wynter is the most caring teacher Ive ever had. As a freshmen Ive never had a teacher who truly cares about my process by constantly reassuring me and making me comfortable enough to ask him for help. Most students are afraid of Wynter and think hes strict, but in reality he just cares about his students and wants everyone to pass.
Professor Wynter tries to be clear but fails at it. His grading criteria is ambiguous and his instructions can be confusing. He wants respect for his class (understandable) but screams and yells in hopes to get it (which never works). I think he means well but cannot transmit his knowledge properly.
I had Professor Wynter over the summer and he was tough and made me cry a lot but after the class was over I realized I learned so much from him. As long as you do all the work he provides and ask for feedback, he is very sweet and will do whatever he can to help you. Definitely not the right class to skip or slack off in.
He is caring but he has a very unique way of grading the papers. Just be in touch with them regularly you will end up not failing the class
This professor will strive to make sure that you pass the class and make sure that your writing is at the best and very helpful. Def reccomend this professor, funny and kind!
Make sure to participate a lot and show him some sort of interest in the course and you'll save yourself from having a bad relationship with him (trust me you don't want that). Turn in all the papers on time, communicate with him constantly, and put some extra hours into your papers and you'll be fine. This class will teach you to be disciplined!!
If you take his class, make sure to attend, you can not skip class or come late to class and expect it to fly with the professor. He will be likely to assist you within the same day, if you need help. If you want an easy class it's not his. Do your work well and do it on time in order to pass his class with a good grade. Tough on all students.
He can come off as very aggressive and scary during classes. He pushes his students to the best of their abilities. If you are a shy student, I don't recommend taking his class. My anxiety went through the roof almost everytime in his class.
Worst English professor in Rutgers and I have already graduated a while ago. But I will always remember this infamous Professor I had, and how angry he got at me for not participating. There are better teachers to invest your money on other than his classes
professional yapper
Honestly he is a hard a$$ during his lectures and expects a lot from his students. But his instructions are clear and he gives really good feedback during the writing process. I had him in 101 and then decided to take him again for 102 because he was that good with writing. Just do your readings, go to class, and just listen to his feedback.
avoid at all costs. very aggressive and rude. dont waste ur time or money on him. dropped out of his class because I knew i would fail if i stayed. if you like your GPA, run.
Best Professor! Highly Recommend! He is a tough professor, but I promise you will learn a lot from him.
He is an amazing professor, however, if you want an A you have to do the work.
As tough as he is, he is also lenient and helpful. Genunely one of the better professors which helped me in my understanding of the English Language overall. He helps students if they ask, or if they seem to be struggling, and gives incredible feedback.
He is a good professor, and he cares for you, but you also need to pull your weight. He pushes you to get better, but he also has high expectations. Difficulty is like a 3.5, but that wasn't an option
Very condescending, called out people that were falling behind in class directly by name, honestly way too over the top. Treats the class like it is still high school.
Professor Wynter is one of the BEST ENGLISH PROFESSORS anyone could ever have. He is spot on with his expectations, leaves nothing behind, and will have the time to help you one-on-one. This is my second semester having him; it was the best semester thus far!
Professor Wynter is one of the best English professors ever!! He has high expectations but he gives them to you since day 1. Although, he can seem mean but he is very understanding. He wants everyone to succeed and do better in the course.
I'll be honest, you are not gonna have a good time if you take Wynter. For a course that's supposed to be easy, he will make you rewrite your essay over and over again just for a C or B. He will never give anyone an A. He will wreck your mental health in any way possible. This guy should be fired, and isn't cut out for teaching. Save yourself.
during the first few weeks of classes, he can seem like a very tough, rigid, and strict professor. but once you challenge yourself and choose to stay in his class, you'll find that the trade-off is 100% worth it. professor wynter really does care about his students and their progress.
