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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
