Reviews of professor Lawrence Winn

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prrof. Winn was hands down the best professor I've had for a GE class. He tries his best to create a fun and engaging classroom, his main goal being to create a community within his students. This class is VERY reading heavy, two 5 point quizzes based on the readings to ensure you are keeping up, as well as a total of 5 papers, one being the final.

Professor Winn is the best professor I have had at Davis. I 100% recommend him to everyone. This class was AMAZING and he clearly has a passion for what he teaches. He is a great lecturer and keeps the class engaged the whole time.

There's so much reading (50+ pages of reading before each class) and writing (15+ pages total) for a GE class that doesn't even satisfy WE. Even other EDU that provided WE credits didn't have as much work as this class. You still have to do 30 hours of internship and a couple of oral presentations. Too much work for only 4 units of GE credit.

Professor Winn is very knowledgeable, humorous and kind. He does favor group projects as he is a fan of community building. He does have a tendency to talk about his own experiences and life events, even if sometimes they may not be entirely applicable. Still, a very enjoyable class. Pretty reading and writing heavy, but generously graded.

Torry is awesome! His energy is unmatched. Id take this class over 1000x... one of the most enjoyable courses Ive had during my three years at UCD. If you put in an honest effort, youll pass with no problem.

I looked forward to his lectures, they were connected to current issues in the community. He had power point slides but taking notes about what he is saying in lecture is better. There were a few papers with fair grading, the TA cleared up any confusion about the papers. The books were VERY interesting. Funny guy. Overall, would highly recommend!

I thought that the actual class content was interesting which was why I signed up in the first place. But the actual class was more like an intense English class with a lot of assigned reading and writing. Be ready to write multiple papers week after week without even having your first paper graded. They grade super hard on the papers.

Took Professor Winn Spring 2018, was a good and interesting class. You have to do alot of writing and reading, so be prepared for that. Easy A if you put in the work and go to lecture.

Professor Winn gives compelling lectures that are easy to understand. The only downside to the class would be all the books that you have to purchase and read. I definitely could've gotten the same grade if I had not purchased all of the books. Overall, it is a pretty engaging class if you are interested in the topic.
