Reviews of professor Andrea Van Winkle

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She was really nice and cares about her students but her lectures are LONG and she goes very slow. I do like how she had printable notes and prepares you for exams. Yet, it's very lecture heavy and she goes slow. She has worksheets available and they help a lot, overall good class.

While she is a nice lady, she is not a very good professor. Very boring, long lectures reading straight from the power point. Does not allow laptops during class - notes are only allowed on paper and pencil. You will HAVE to do lots of extra practice and reading online, paying attention during lecture will not be enough to do well in her class.

She talks a lot about pointless stuff in the lectures which makes it super hard to pay attention. This is one of the hardest courses to take.

Professor Van Winkle is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. Her lectures are clear, and generally very concise on what we need to know for the homework and tests. She often gave out snacks in class for anyone who answered her questions. If I had to take a math course at GCU she would be my #1 priority teacher to get.

She's not as bad as the ratings on this website say. Class is very lecture heavy, she is a good lecturer- very clear and easy to understand, but you will need to read the textbook. Tests are super easy compared to HW- attend review sessions. 

People who gave bad reviews probably were on their phones the whole time- class was usually empty

This professor is the worst one I've had and the layout of this class just asks for students to fail. 3 tests are basically your entire grade. I studied 10+ hours for each 200-point 35-question exam because she doesn't prepare you for them and received a C+ every time. Expect long/heavy lectures and hours if you want close to an A on homework.

Professor Van Winkle's lectures are very hard to sit through. The material is hard, and she does not give any breaks at all. I found myself zoning out most days. There are 3 tests throughout the semester, each worth 20% of your grade, so there's a lot of pressure on tests grades.

The one positive about the prof: the class structure is terrible.  That is not her fault. Everything else is. My class started with 97 students, and ended with 64. The class average on the homework was a D-. She treats the class like children, the lectures were excruciating, everything about her teaching made the class unbearable. I wish I skipped.

This is just about the worst professor I've ever had. From trauma dumping constantly, to refusing to use any form of technology in her classroom Andrea makes it difficult to pass the class. I am currently taking the course and regret ever selecting it. Awful professor who refuses to change the ways of her teaching for the benefit of her students.
