Reviews of professor Philip Wininger

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Wininger is one of my favorite professors ever, and his course was awesome. You cover a wide array of topics and he is knowledgeable about all of them. He leads interesting class discussions and allows all ideas to be expressed. He is an amazing lecturer, and quite funny. Exams are totally reasonable, HW light and easy. Take this class!

Prof. Wininger is honestly great. The class is pretty standard, lectures with interactive questions to gauge class opinion on the material being discussed. Overall a simple but effective course and if you're interested in law school, it's a nice foundational course since Wininger himself was a law student and likes to teach the class with that vibe

Such a great professor! Lectures are always so interesting and engaging. He's a lawyer so he's very engaging and knowledgable about the courts. Slides are posted online but he goes into much more depth in class so I'd recommend going to fully understand the material. Midterms are kind of hard but you're well prepared. Definitely take this class!

First semester back on campus since COVID and this has been the best class I have taken. He's very knowledgeable about the Court and judiciary. The lectures are the tests and are pretty interesting. Only one project and small assignments for participation. He's very kind and approachable. Been a great class that I highly recommend!

Wininger is a great Professor. Really cares about students, and covers everything that will be on the final and other exams. Be sure to show up, he gives random quizzes as a way of checking attendance, but if youre there and remotely awake, youll get full points.

Prof Wininger's was my favorite PSC class at GW so far. Some of the clearest lecture's ever, covering every single bit of material that will be on the exams. He's really funny too, and does an awesome job both managing class discussions and being fair to all level-headed arguments. Really wish he taught another class, would love to take him again.

While Wininger is clearly knowledgeable about subject matter and makes course material easy to understand, classes get carried away in discussions that become opinionated arguments amongst students. Wininger explicitly says all test material will focus on Powerpoints rather than textbook material. Show up to class for participation quizzes.

I loved taking Prof. Wininger. He knows his stuff when it comes to this country's judicial system, federal and state. He incorporates interesting research and it helps tie everything together. He's offering this course next semester, so if there's space, I would register for it if I were you.
