EASY TEACHER. DONT NED TO WORY ABT TEST AND QUIZEZZ MUCH GIVES ALL MATERIAL AND ALOWS TO USE THE NOTE N BOKS IN THE TEST. VERY FRIENDLY N FUNNY PROFESSOR. MAKES TIMES GOES FAST EVEN 3 HOUR CLASS.
this is the most easy,nice professor u can find.he has a great deal of knowledge plus give u more information through documentary films.only objective tests are there for exam.he is very humorous.take his class that's winning like a jackpot.
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
Although I found his class a tid bit difficult, it was very interesting. If you are lucky enough to get a teacher that is passionate about what they teach, you will become then passionate too. If you do take this class be ready to watch movies all the time!
nice guy...tests are kinda hard...watch alot of movies...nd he lets you out early
Professor Winnick was absolutely awesome. I have a 100 avg in his class, and all I did was pay attention sometimes. He gives review sheets for OPEN BOOK (and open notebook) tests. Awesome guy. Hes sarcastic in a funny way, unless you're immature and act like an assh0le, then you get what u deserve
Easy class, good professor, open book test, plus he gives you reviews on what's going to be on the tests. He is a little sarcastic, if you act like an ass in his class, other than that he's awesome.
He's alright. He gives open book tests which are comprehensive so make sure you read the book. It's true aboout the corny jokes. I slept half the classes but still pulled an A. If I could do it..so could you.
Smart guy, very knowledgeable, easygoing, and funny.He teaches the class well, treats all like adults (though most are NOT) and gives many opportunities to do well: open book tests, review sheets for each test & quiz, and fair on grading. Really a good teacher and nice guy - take, youll like him.
OPEN BOOK/NOTEBOOK TESTS, one report on a topic of your choice, and 4 easy quizzes
he is an awsome guy, tells good stories. exams are easy. tests are usually open book or take home. shows a movies n almost every class.
FiSh WuZ HeRe
He is a great man!!! professor winnick is cool, smart and knows how to keep a crowd interest...some professors should take lessons from him. I'm not going to kid you, you need to read, because he gives open book test, but they hard...but if you read they will be mad easy!!!!Professor Winnik 2 thumb
awesome teacher!! even tho his tests r really easy you learn A LOT in his class. very smart guy as far as the history. very friendly and funny. highly recommended..oohh yea take lots of notes because his tests r either open notebook or take home. but his take home tests r hard so dont laugh at them
Professor Winnick is one of the most awesome teachers I have ever had.He is clever and has a great sense of humor.He knows his history like noone I have ever met.ITS TO BAD BERGEN IS LETTING HIM GO do to budget cuts. They get rid of the good and keep the bad.Yea great college!! Thanks Bergen!!
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).
awesome get on hsi good side n u'll pass liste to him take notes u'll pass study is notes n u'll do fine on 6-10 page paper easy though he doesn't eve read them
Nice person, and excellent teacher he has passion for his job and even though i dont like history that much, he makes it interesting and its such an easy A take advantage of all the easy stuff u have to do...
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.
take home tests, very easy quizzes, lots of videos. he's fun and reasonable about everything.
If you want to take a easy class, take this one. This professor is very laid back. He wants to get his points across, but he does it with videos and discussion. Don't buy the book, he hates it. He gives take home tests, but its kinda hard to find the answers.
Very nice prof. knows what he's talking, smart, nice. Very happy that I took his class.
He's one of the best prof in B.C.C!awesome!!!! Go to class,watch video, and do TAKE HOME TESTS!! you'll get an A!
amazing teacher. definately take him if your looking to breeze through a history class with an A. Only 4 take home tests. Funny guy with a dry sense of humor. I recommend!!
Professor Winnick is the BEST. He is the coolest professor he has a great sense of humor and his class is the easiest. Loved being in his class, very interesting.
This professor is the best! I thought it was going to be a boring class just cause it's history but not at all... he makes you laugh and you actually learn a lot from him. I recommend taking his class!
He's very easy...just show up and take tests...but he doesnt know much really. I havent learned ONE thing in his class at all. He shows movies all the time thats it. But he's a REALLy chill guy. if ur lazy and dont care about learning take this guy
he is really a best teacher,i totally admire him,great teacher,knows his stuff and wht to teach,ALL 4 TAKE HOME TEST(THOUGH THEY R HARD)...BUT ITS SO COOL OF HIM.
No Comments
Prof. Winnick is the best teacher at BCC, he is what a real teacher should be: helpful, intelligent, nice, he loves what he does, he is caring and funny!!.... The only thing that you really have to do is go to class, do the tests and you will pass, i've really increased my learning and my interest in history thanks to prof Winnick!
awesome awesome awsome awsome professor!!! Hes so cute and he teaches very well...he gives 4 easy take home tests. Hes is truly one of the best professors at Bergen. I highly reccommend him. = D
weill i toook him this summer just to get away from the history. 4 tests no hw very boring videos. i didnt need to open book because people in the class actually helps you. so i can say that you never gona learn anything
Awesome and exellent Professor,helpful, intelligent and sexy
prof.winnick is the besttttttt. I love history but he made me love it even more. his class is not hard but the tests do take a long time to do. But it's ok because they are take home and there are no other tests or quizzes. His lectures and videos are always interesting. overall great professor and easy class. plus hes veryyy funny
this man does not knoe anything about history. He doesnt know how to teach it AT ALL! i didnt learn ANYTHING from this man at all! all he does is play movies what a waste of a teacher! History is about discussion and he doesnt do that ONCE! you will not learn JACK from him!
winnick is the man awesome professor one of the best
Real Good guy. Good teacher. Knows his stuff and is funny too. A little boring at times but overall i liked him and i would definently recommend him.
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.
i cant stand history classes but he made it so easy to learn.. 4 tests that r take home..START EARLY CUZ THEY ANSWERS DO NOT JUST POP OUT AT YOU.. only sometimes haha but for the most part u have to read to find them..go to class&watch the movies&listen to lecture thats it! .. he's a really nice prof. & totally understanding! good class!
I LOVED his class, my second semester taking another class of his ^^ His teachings are always interesting, there's usually a movie every class, take home tests are great. Wonderful guy and teacher!!!
such a hippie! haha but hes awesonme. all take home tests that u rly have to look in the textbook for. theres 4 tests n theyre not that hard, the questions come straight from the textbook. ud otn rly have 2 go to class but just make sure u're there wen he gives out the take home tests so u have enough time 2 do it. it kinda takes long. hes good
4 take home tests which are not easy so start right away when he gives them out....he has great jokes
He's the greatest ! I have had him for several classes and he has made me enjoy history !
4 take home tests and has awesome jokes
Great class. You could tell that the professor loved the subject. The lectures were interesting, informative, and funny. Grade consisted of four take home tests.
He is the best Take him !!!!
he is the best of the best. you want to learn, have fun, not too mush homework and you want to get an A take him
Prof. Winnick has to be my favorite teacher at Bergen. I wish there were more like him. I took his class in the summer and actually enjoyed it. He definitely knows his stuff and has gone to see a lot of different places. Highly recommended.
I'm 36, married with 2 kids and working. I quit college 15 years ago and was nervous about going back. This guy Winnick has made coming back awesome, if I had him right out of high school, I may not have quit back then, he really gets it, everyone should take at least one of his classes, I am now pumped to finish and get my degree. Thanks, Stuart
THIS TEACHER RIGHT HERE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER AT BERGEN....dude class is so much funand its very informative and all his test are take home...i loved his class plus he is so funny...you LITTERALLY can't fail this class
professor winnick was awesome. he didn't lecture from a book or powerpoint but from memory evere place he talks about he has been there. he is very passionate about the subject. all his tests are take home. he was very easy going.
good professor did lectures and then videos from the History channel. Knows alot but also likes to through in Political stuff into his lectures comparing it to the old world. Obviously a Democrat...so if ur a republican he can get on ur nerves sometimes... Take home test but they are diffiucult, u def need to book to do the take home tests.
I love him he is one of the best prof i had. all his test are take hm test u must buy the book in order to pass his class. he is very understanding he knows his stuff in history. he has visit almost all the countries we have study. no hm. i will be takimg him again for the summer.
stay out of his class, take some other professor. he is rude and often gives surprise tests which are useless wasted $100+ on book and used it for first two weeks and then never. tests are moderate but never gives out A's. got D- in fall 09.
It is not true, he is a good professor and nice; all his tests are take home, but not easy, you must buy the book in order to pass his class. He has visit almost all the countries we have study, very intelligent. You go to school in order to learn!
My favorite Professor! True sweetheart..wrote me several letters of rec. for other schools. ONLY 4 OPEN BOOK TESTS! He's not strict on attendance BUT his class is fun to go to just to talk and hang out with him. I've taken him 2 semesters in a row. BEST PROFESSOR EVER, GREAT PERSONALITY AND CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS! PROMISE YOU'LL LOVE HIM!!! =)
very easy class. all tests are take home. each class is boring. u dont need to pay attention just do the tests from a boook. and sleep
hes the man semester was 4 take home tests all answers come straight from the book. i was never on time and missed of the classes and still got an A his class is really interesting because of his personal experiences take this class
He's a very nice professor. I love going to his class. The best prof I ever had. Take him!!!
Easiest class you will ever take in the history of mankind. You dont do any work in class. you just sit there all class listening to him or watching movies. the exams ARE JUST TAKE HOME EXAMS, so you never really have to learn anything in this class. best class to take to just relax in and worry about your other classes.
The best teacher!! Take him ! Easy and interesting class . He is so nice and funny!!!
best history teacher and easy class
class was extremely easy.. all take home tests, material was easy to understand, i sat in the back of class w/ hoodie and ipod on and still got an A
on topic, wide range of information, has been to all places he teaches about.awsome...best everif you do not like history ..you willlove it after his class.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER..4 TAKE HOME EXAMS 70-80 QUESTIONS AND THATS IT
He is an awesome teacher! TESTS ARE TAKE HOME and there are only FOUR throughout the semester.. there is no homework and he usually lets you out of class early. Very easy class and he is funny!
FAVORITE professor by far! Im not interested in history but he makes it interesting. U will need textbook for TAKE HOME TEST! Teaches everything else from his head, movies & his personal experience. Was sick with mono this semester and I would actually get disappointed when I couldn?t make class(was very understanding) plus he's easy on the eyes:)
LOVEEEEEEEE HIMMMMMMM !!!!took history 101 and 112 in one semester and got an A in both classes. He is the best professor! I wish everyone could be just like him. enjoyed his class a lot!!
I took him for two classes same semester, he was an amazing person. We had a genius in our class that would always question him. The best classes I took at Bergen, those classes and intro to theater with Jim.
BEST PROF EVER!!! I took two classes with him, and I wish I needed to take more. He's awesome, really gets you interested in the subjects that we studied, and its very clear with his explanations. He's very smart, and such a sweetheart. If you want an awesome prof. then take him!
Prof. Winnick is the best!!! such a great professor i honestly enjoyed classs!! i love this mannnnnn!!!
Such an amazing professor, you can ask him whatever you want,he makes everything clear in a funny way, easy class, long exam though but it is TAKE HOME EXAM, you really learn from this class and you will get a perfect background for the American History
Great professor, I can't stand history and enjoyed his lectures. You don't have to take any notes at all because his exams are take home. You have a few weeks to do each one, and those are your only grades. He lets you work with other people on them, so check each other's answers before submitting. If you do that, you'll get an A.
if only this man taught every subject. take. him.
4 take home tests and no homework, but attendance is mandatory. so just show up in the class and enjoy listening to his lectures. You can find most (not all) of the answers to the test questions on Google. take him and have fun :D
The entire class consists of four take home tests, you have several weeks to do them. All multiple choice, straight out of the book. Very easy, spend a good amount of time on them, and check with someone else. He allows that. Definitely recommend. He doesn't care if you do other work while he lectures.
EASY A!!! Only 4 take home tests (although he calls them research exams lol). He's the easiest history professor in BCC. Take him for EASY A!!!
guys DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS He literally changed his syllabus. and he wants us to do 2 research papers, 4 quizzes, 4 take home tests. he does not want to see us doing other things while class. he is annoying and not funny at all.
Taking his current Fall 2013 class. His syllabus changed: 4 take home exams, 4 quizzes, 2 research papers. Honestly he's OK, gives you plenty of time in between assignments. I feel he looks down on students though, making us feel stupid. Graded research papers harshly. A decent professor. Take him if you want a "decent" experience.
Honestly take this class with someone else. It's so hard to get an A in his class now because of the new syllabus. The tests and quizzes are easy but he grades the research papers so harshly and it really brings down ur grade. Im a straight A student and this class is bringing down my gpa. I don't recommend taking history with this teacher.
Terrible teacher
Sweet guy and real nice. 4 exams that are take home, multiple choice. 4 quizzes on vocab from his lectures that are also multiple choice.2 papers on anything relating to the class. if history is not your thing and even a struggle for you seriously take him. He also shows Films so it makes the time go by.doesn't make a huge deal if your late either.
Terrible experience in bcc ever. He is so cold. He has no heart or something. He is a history teacher he is NOT writing teacher or anything. Films are boring. He gets up set easily if you act like "highschool student". He ruined my4.0 gpa. thanks
Take this class with someone else. Makes it very hard to do well with his new syllabus.
The workload is a lot. 4 take home exams, quizzes that were hard, and 2 research papers. You really have to work hard, study, and do all the work to get a good grade. Lectures most of the time. Don't bother to take notes because his quizzes have things he didn't cover in class. Managed to get an A in the class.
He is a great professor. Even though his syllabus changed, I didn't find the workload to be overwhelming. I don't know what everyone is taking about. As long as you hand everything in and do your best, you should get an A. He is also great at lecturing and makes the material easy to understand and not be boring. I got an A and enjoyed the class.
Terrible
Professor Winnick is a good teacher-when he decides to actually teach. He gets WAY off topic WAY too often. Virtually nothing we discuss in class winds up on the tests. There are better history professors at Bergen.
I took him my first semester at bergen community college. I personally loved him. He only gives take home tests and occasional quizzes in class that are very easy if you pay attention. He's okay with you handing in assignments late and is very easy going. We watch history channel every class. I would take him again if i could.
Prof Winnick is so nice!!! He gives out 4 take home exams that have all the answers online. He also gives out 4 vocab quizzes which are super easy, and you have to do 4 video quizzes(which are short, easy, and done at home). You're allowed 3 absences no questions asked. He's so easy going. I would take him again if I could.
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!
Gave interesting lectures, attendance was important, gave take home exams. The quizzes where easy he gave out the terms in the first day of class so you can be prepared for it.
Great professor, I would recommend you take this class. 4 take home test, 4 quiz, 4 music quiz. You get vocabulary for each quiz and are able to use them on the quiz besides on. Music quiz are done at home. His lectures are interesting and he gets you involved. Very funny guy !
Prof Winnick is a good professor. Ask him multiple questions and you'll be golden. 4 tests you take home 4 open book quizzes 4 video quizzes. Most lectures are the same videos from the video quiz. Take notes of that you'll be good. Take him. Easy A
prof winnick is the best professor in the BCC. He is very easy guy and if you ask him questions he always ready to help you and give your answers. 4 quizees, 4 exams take home and 4 video quizzes. Take him you pass with A. i got A in his 2 classes.
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.
Took this class over the summer. There were 4 take home exams, which were very easy. Also, 4 vocab quizzes. Great lecturer, and really cares about his students. Overall, an easy class and definitely an easy A.
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!!!!!!
Took him during Summer 1... very knowledgeable and funny. 4 take home tests and 4 in class vocab quizzes. Ask him questions about Trump and guaranteed he will spend the whole class bashing him. Overall a cool professor and an EASY A.
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.
This professor is by far the easiest professor ever. Very laid back and chill. Really knows his stuff. The whole class is one long interrupted lecture. No hw EVER. 4 take home exams and 4 in class quizzes. prepares you very well. Def take his classes.
4 take home test that average 100 multiple choice question and you have about 3 weeks to do each one. 4 in class quizzes that are all vocab. thats it.
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.
I'm not going to say much. Just take his class. One of the best professor in Bergen.
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!
Take professor Winnick!!!! Easy class and a great professor. No homework, just take home tests that he gives you about 2-3 weeks to finish and hand in. Amazing lectures, he loves history.
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.
He really needs to work on his grammar skills when sending emails
I went straight from high school into online college, so this was my first semester back in person and I genuinely loved this class and Professor Winnick. It's impossible to fail lol (all quizzes and tests are take home). I personally like history so I enjoy his stories and lectures. Overall: really great guy, super easy class, rlly hard to fail.
