Reviews of professor Andrea Van Winkle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not an enjoyable person or prof. Lectures directly from powerpoint in the book. Unwilling to provide examples/help on HW or tests, requires participation. Point being - no value added in mandatory classes. Unfazed by phones but won't allow computers for notes in class? Ignored SDS approved sick note... whatever, I passed. Invest in Chegg for this.

This professor was very helpful and good at explaining material. I never understood economics until I took her class and she explained it in such a helpful way. She was understanding and kind also sometimes very funny. She knows what she is talking about.

She is a very sweet lady but she is very monotone and lectures the whole class with no breaks. She is a really bad professor and if you want to pass Econ I would choose anyone else.

Awful, horrible, and evil. She's a demonic devil worshiper who's going to hell. Damn her soul.

Professor Van Winkle seems like a very nice and genuine person, although she is not a good professor.  She reads everything from the textbook and with her monotone, it can be difficult to be engaged in class.  This class is attendance heavy and trust, you will need the points by the end of the year.

I had this class online, Professor Van Winkle was pretty fast at responding which was nice. She's strict about the 6 posts on 3 different days criteria. I liked that she encouraged use of outside sources for DQ's. The assignments were pretty hard and feedback wasn't always very helpful. Study guides for tests were helpful. Overall, pretty average.

Professor Van Winkle's lectures are insanely hard to sit through. She lectures the entire class and gives no break. This class doesn't have that much homework however, usually about 12 problems are due every two weeks if taken in person. However the tests are hard and she doesn't allow notecards or post equations on the board like other teachers do

It's online so there aren't lectures, so it's pretty much self-taught. DQ expectations are pretty ridiculous with 2 DQ posts and 6 responses over 3 days. A lot of busy work. The homework expectations are never very clear and she grades them with very high standards. Two exams make up 52% of your grade which can be pretty stressful.

This is by far the worst professor I have ever had. She is not understanding at all and only reads off the textbook. I had a family emergency and couldn't submit an assignment on time and she wouldn't open it up for me I had to talk to the dean and she still did not open it. She is a terrible teacher and human she makes me sick.
