He brings to life what could be a very boring topic. I really enjoyed his class and would take it again if I hadn't acheived an A! The best part is he keeps you guessing about his religion until the last day of class =>

He is honestly one of the greatest teachers I have ever had and you would be a fool not to take his class. The packets that he gives are easy if you actually read the corresponding chapters, so don't try to make it easy by skimming the chapter for answers, just read it. The book itself isn't a dry read so I promise it's not torture.

This class has been one of my favorites. He clearly loves what he is teaching and he teaches this class by &quot;telling the story of religion.&quot; This class only had 3 packets, all answers are found in the textbook, a research paper, and paper on an interview from a congregation around or in Mesa. Overall, very interesting and informative honors class!

His packets are super long easily 12-14 pages long. His lectures are interesting but don't help that much in getting answers to the packet if attendance wasn't mandatory I wouldn't show up and use that time trying to go through the textbook to find the answers to the packet.

Lecture heavy

Amazing lectures! The only problem that i had was that COVID-19 ruinned the second half of the semester and i couldn't listen to Mr. Wintz' storytelling. If you aren't willing to put in the time to do the weekly packets (10-15 pages each and about 3-6 hours to complete), this isnt the class for you. PS- impossible to fail if you do the work/EC

Lots of homework

I really enjoyed taking Wintz's class. There's work you've got to do, but if you to the work you will definitely get an A. He grades pretty nice on papers and when he offers extra credit, do it! Attending class is important because after a certain number of absences, he will drop you. Great teacher and all around a great guy!

Enjoyed his class but Packets are SO LONG FOR EACH RELIGION . IF YOUR NOT THE TYPPE THAT has the patients to read the whole chapter and dig for the answer this isn't the class for you. He's nice and all but at the end its the grade were looking for so DONT miss class or a packet you won't pass they r worth a lot

I absolutely loved his class so much. Yes it was a lot of homework but it is very easy if you give yourself the time do it. He gives out lots of extra credit opportunities and you can most definitely pass with an A. His lectures were the best and very interesting.

This professor has a true passion for education. As someone who knew little to nothing about religion, this was a great class to take. He presents the information as it is and doesn't force his own beliefs on others. During the pandemic, he was extremely flexible and worked with us through it all. Great professor. Take his class!
