I would strongly recommend taking a course with Prof. Winnick. He's very down-to-earth and extremely loose when it comes to grading. His tests are open-book, but comprehensive. Don't expect an A if you didn't study, but a B is certainly within reach. Overall, very good.

He has a real attitude with people aren't his favorites. He mocks classes when they don't get one of his jokes (which aren't funny) and he thinks because we are in community college, we aren't smart or we don't care. Some of us do and he doesn't get that. Avoid him if you have a mind of your own.

Professor Winnick is a nice teacher. He tells some corny jokes but as long as you can deal with that you'll be fine. tests are open book/notebook, and he gives study guides. dont expect the class to be too hard unless u dont plan on studying. the tests are easy but you have to look ove the material

I am not a history buff, but he made the class much less difficult than it would have been in another person's class room.He listens to what the students want and almost always does it(either dates of tests, quizzes, or making something open book). He's always up for an intelligent discussion. I would take him again(& i already took him 2 x).

He's really into his job, but he makes it interesting and easy enough for you to understand without making u fall asleep. His quizzes/tests are open book and the videos he shows aren't the typical boring documentaries other profs show. The only thing that bothers him is if you miss/cut class a lot. If you want that A+ go to class all the time.

Fantastic teacher. I've never found myself more interested in history. The tests are stress-free and you will actually learn instead of just memorizing dates. Also in response to the student who said he doesn't open up to discussion...that's ridiculous, any time a student had a comment we would wind up talking about it for an hour. Best class ever.

everyone that is complaining about the new syllabus is literally just lazy. Its virtually impossible to not get an A in the class. 4 take home tests that are long but they're take home, and you can easily look up the answers. He is very nice, does not stress you on being late to class and is very, very easy going. would take again in a heart beat!

fair grader. keeps you very entertained in class, actually funny. Tests are take home quizzes are a breeze and video quizzes are simple. I would say to participate. Hard to see the professor put in so much discussion and the class is just silent. Ask questions he loves that. Very kind and understanding. Keep track of your attendance. I enjoyed!

Great professor! Always making you laugh or smile. His tests and quizzes are not difficult. Just make sure you don't miss too many classes and ask questions. He is so sweet to speak to and is really easy going. Make sure you attend lectures and do the work and there's no way that you won't get a good grade.

ONE OF THE BEST PROF I HAD. He was the only professor who cared during my first semester in college . I took western civilization honors with him and he gave 4 take home test, 4 in class quizzes and a final presentation, but towards the end of the semester he said you only have to do the final presentation for extra credit. He is the BEST!!!!!!

Professor Winnick is a nice guy and fair grader. I took his class over the summer so it was shortened by work load was still minimal and easily manageable. Class consisted of lecture, small quizzes, and heavy weighted graded take home tests. Class is designed for students to succeed with minimal effort. Disclaimer: Winnick is a radical liberal.

WInnick is a very laid back teacher, easy to understand, all the tests are take home and he allows you to bring a cheat sheet for the quizzes. I am taking this teacher again for the next semester. He knows what he's talking about and you will learn in his class.

This is my second year at Bergen and this professor is the best professor I've taken so far. He has great sense of humor so his lecture is not boring at all and he never gives hw assignments. 4 take home tests and 4 quizzes with cheat sheet. He also has great knowledge in various fields and he is just amazing. Free A. Hands down the best prof ever!

It's an easy A for online students. Just be warned, he is getting on in years. If you want to get all your "grades" in just be sure to go for the first meeting he schedules. You can do it anywhere on your phone, just be there because he may cancel the other ones or just not show up. Tell him you got an A, and like magic, you've got an A.
