Reviews of professor Edward Winston

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I've never come across a professor as ignorant and rude as him. He takes absences way too personal, this is a speech class, not something important like calculus or biology. Be prepared to show proof to get your absence excused. Tries to be controlling and thinks very highly of himself, doesn't realize he just makes himself look arrogant. Horrible

His class is definitely strict, but fair. He gives enough time to prepare for speeches. He sticks to the syllabus. There is no excuse for failing, except not trying. He will give you the grading scale. If you're doing online be prepared to have the camera on. He is very laid back.

Very fair professor. This class was online and attendance was mandatory along with having your camera on when you're in class. Overall not a bad class

Be prepared for getting points deducted on the most minimal detail. God forbid life happens and you are late to class!! Even if you sit through the whole class, you will be marked absent for being late... and you cannot pass the class if he marks you absent. Big speeches all timed. Makes a big deal if you don't understand something.

He's not a bad professor. He is just unprofessional very frequently. He will definitely keep you entertained but he's just so hyperactive. He usually gets too caught up in his warm up that there is no time left for the lecture. He is extremely rushed all of the time. That also carries over to the deadlines in this class. Take at your own risk.

I took his Fall 19 class and honestly it was the most fun class I have ever taken. Ofcourse, hes strict and attendance is mandatory cause its college. He gives feedback on your work, he is very passionate about theatre and is an actor himself so thats inspirational. While hes being strict, hes also a kind and humble person. Best theatre class!

I'll preface this by saying I took this class during the COVID-19 pandemic so the class was entirely remote. Definitely frustrating for students and professors. Clearly speech class is not ideal via Zoom but he often seemed very annoyed. He means well and is passionate about the class, but can be a bit condescending and passive-aggressive.

He is one of the greatest professors Ive had. At first I was nervous about taking this course since I am a shy person, but over time I started to open up more. The group activities and speeches really helped me a lot. He does assign readings and quizzes; however, they are really helpful when it comes to writing our speeches. Highly recommended.

Hes honestly an amazing prof. If youre passionate about theater I would recommend you take it with him, cause hes the best at Harold. I have always enjoyed his class.
