while lectures were very clear (and long) the exams were brutally hard

lectures are long,yet clear...exams are HARD!!!!

Excellent prof made lectures interesting by her mini-experiments beware of exams

Great lectures!

Very interesting, keep quiet in class and don't cheat, good prof.

A good lecturer with fair, no-surprise exams; uses good visuals, videos, demos.

Great Prof., makes the three hour lecture seem a little less daunting.

Great Lecturer, test questions directly from text and lecutre notes

the course is really hard, she explains it well

Used analogies to make things clear, tests were hard if you didn't study enough

Hard exams, clear intersting lects, accomidating for me to write exam later

I liked e

not the easiest course. weeds out the air heads. dont take it for fun. read .

very interesting, tests were hard

seemed like a nice person and i did well - read the book

a truly great professor!

She's a good/funny lecturer, and doesn't tolerate goofing off during lecture (which is great for a 1000 level course, cause it's needed). Her multiple choice tests are very hard though, but consistant with the rest of the psychology courses higher up.

Very interesting and a good class, but the tests were far too hard. She teaches this class at a higher level than it should be. READ THE BOOK!!

thorough lectures. make sure you read the book and pay attention to films. kept the class in line. good for people who go to class to learn instead of chatting with friends.

Will only hate her if you're a slacker. Very good prof. No nonsense, totally needed at York.

the only people who don't like her are the ones who don't want to be there in the first place. she doesn't take any crap. york needs more profs like this. her tests are hard, but if you show up and read the books, you'll be fine.

Her lectures are very clear and understandable. She goes at a VERY reasonable pace. Her exams are dumb because 10% of it is based on material learned only in class. So even if understand the book she makes you attend lecture which is a big waste of time

Explains the material well, has an attitude problem, tests are relatively hard (not easy). Definetly read the book and pay attention to the small stupid details (she likes details for her multiple choice questions). And DO NOT fall behind on the reading.

She's not as bad as people say she is, I thought she was a great lecturer, her tests are a little hard though, I studied lots and still didn't do as well as I would have like but she definitely seperates those that work hard from those that don't

True she doesn't take any crap and she's not easy. But I took 2 courses with her & i got A's in both. Bottomline: do what you gotta do and she'll reward you for it. Slack off and you're in deep trouble.

very dedicated. students were well prepared for exam even though Prof. Wintre was forced to leave 3 weeks before the semester's end for medical reasons.

Her tests make you study and at the end of a class with her your hands feel like they're going to fall off from all the writting you've done, but she prepares her students well for the psychology classes to come. You have to go to class and read the book!

Yeah, her tests may be hard, and yeah, she doesn't take a lot of crap, but frankly that was one of the best intro courses I ever took. So many people in these classes are straight out of high school and think it's social period or something, and she puts

The prototypical strict, professional, tough prof who teaches her class seriously. Tests are difficult, but not totally unreasonable. Forces the maturity level in the class to go up a notch or two. A worthwhile challenge, all said

Had her for intro PSYC. her tests were beyond hard, but an excellent 1st yr class, cause it forces u to mature. for the first two test, i got %50 (class average), but after beginnin to study earlier, got +80% on the last 3! makes u feel proud after! ^^

A hard marker but the way she taught and her profound knowledge in the subject made the student strive to do better in her course! She definately made me get focused, she was quite intellegent & well informed. Tests were difficult!

she really knows what she is talking about and is very clear, and if you read over your notes and don't spend to much time on msn during class you will do well.

She's a tough prof, no questions asked. She's firm but also extremely fair, if you go to lectures and read the text, you will do very well. Some ppl here are simply bitter cuz they got bad marks. No doubt she will make you work for your marks, but you will learn alot from her class.

She is clear in her lectures and I love her idea of showing movies at the end of each lecture. Sort of a review for that lecture. Her tests are a little hard and confusing. Overall, she is ok. Make sure you read the text book even if you dont read the lectures. Text book reading is a must!

Prof Wintre lectures clearly, although she reads off her notes. If you are interested in the course, then you'll do ok. If not, youre probably going to fall asleep. The tests are tricky, but if you read the textbook, then you'll get a B; the assignment is also straight forward-->you can get an A if you put a little bit of effort! gluck!

i thought she was an awesome prof funny and interesting her tests are also very fair great prof overall

Of course if you don't put the effort into reading the textbook then your not going to pass. People this course is an intro it is not hard! I think Wintre takes a different spin on approaching the incredible amount of material covered in intro psych. She's fun but fair and gets you through the whole course at a reasonable pace. Just keep up!

Although she is very tough she prepares you well for what University is really like. She doesn't pull punches and tells it like it is. If you want a good grade you have to work for it! Great teacher!

Professor Wintre has a real passion for teaching this course, and it shows. I thought it might be hard to follow and boring because she doesn't use overhead slides, but her classes are engaging and interesting, and not difficult to follow. Tests can be a bit tough, so know your stuff, especially the textbook. Assignment is easy- raises yourgrade

I really liked her! She's really funny and has a great laugh! Course heavily depended on the text I found, but interesting nonetheless. I think she's the best in the psych department! I was always interested in the material she was lecturing on! I'd recommend her! :)

a very nice and knowledgable prof. her notes and lecture style are a bit boring but i enjoyed the material so that made it better. her tests were fair and she is very helpful and approachable. if u do the readings you should do well

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about. I took her developmental psych course and I loved it! She was a great prof and her tests were so easy...the class average was pretty high as well, which means i'm not the only one that thought she was easy..

She was the best prof I had ever had; high quality teaching, if you want to learn something in depth than you are right in her class. Exams are average, but if you attend lectures you should be more than fine.

This prof is the best! Very enthusiastic, funny, organized, knows her material, and delivers informative, clear and enjoyable lectures. Course is not easy but you can get a good mark as long as you read the book and get her lecture notes especiallly examples she gives which will be on exams.

she moves at a very fast pace in class s learn to keep up with your notes. her lectures dont necessairly coincide with her chapters assigned for the week. her tests are decent, giving ppl who are better at short answer a chance as well as ppl who are better at multiple choice. recommended

I found Dr. Wintre to be an excellent prof. I found her lectures to be very well thought out and she was always open for debate and discussion, valuing the opinions of her students which is can be rare in university. Although she has high, but fair standards and expectations, I found her class to better prepare me for my future in psychology.

As a mature student, I have found Maxine to be extremely helpful. Our class discussions were always extremely intersting and everyone was given the chance to voice their opinion. Overall, great prof!

Her graduate course prepares students for future courses at this level. Students involved in class discussions. Teaches critical thinking skills. Expert in the area of social and emotional development across childhood and adolescence. High but REASONABLE expectations. Extremely supportive of students. Provides real life examples. Excellent prof.!

Information overload and Tough professor! After the strike she was mostly unwilling to change format/limit the amount of material that we had to know for the final exam. She stated that she didn't care what other profs were doing, it was for the "integrity of the course".

LOVED Dr. Wintre! Her tests were fair (m/c + short answers), you must make sure you read the textbook thoroughly, attend lectures because some short answers come from lectures. I learned a tremendous amount in this class, and I would love to take another course with her!

a course website with lecture notes/slides would have been helpful seeing as she throws A LOT of information at you very quickly. Difficult class, but you learn a lot. Proff is very approachable and brings personal examples into lectures.

Loved the class and the prof was great.

I had her for Developmental Psychology and she was great!! Really enjoyed her lectures, she mixes it up with all sorts of examples, videos, recorded experiments. And she is kind of quirkyfunny which is entertaining :p.

Really interesting course. Be ready to read and study- if you study hard you will do well. This is not a course where you can do the minimum amount of work and still get a decent grade. Lots of people in the class failed 2 out of the 3 tests. No lecture notes are posted online so take detailed notes in class.

She's an older woman who has very long lectures, the second half of lecture is almost always an outdated movie. She's not easy, but if you respect her authority, she's pretty nice. The course focused A LOT on the biological aspects of development, but the last section is what you'd expect. Only 3 tests. READ THE TEXTBOOK.
