he means well, but he pretty much PREACHES his opinons...some of which don't have to do with the class material. the class is pretty interesting, and he's entertaining, but it can get boring. he is just WAY too opinonated.
thinks he is a black teenage boy. and is a dirty old man.
I think Prof. Winant is great! Who cares if he expresses his views, this is college! Also, he's an extremely intelligent guy who is more published and accomplished than I could ever hope to be! Awesome class!
boriiiiiiiing

The class was easy, but a little boring.
He should be restricted to teaching grad students - come on!
Personally, I liked his class and enjoyed it. He's generally nice person to talk to as well. Though I wish that I had a slightly better grade than what I got.
Howard Winant is easily the worst teacher I have ever had. He doesn't teach, he preaches his opinions, and I'm liberal and still thought he sucked. Anti-fascist in thought but completely fascist in his teaching methods, you'll learn absolutely nothing but what he thinks. And he doesn't know jack abo
UGH... He is so unclear and so hard to understand. He just goes off and talks about irrelevant things and doesn't know how to work powerpoint. The test questions were so weird- - RANDOM if you take Soc 1 try a different Professor
Lectures and assignments were useless and boring. I hated this class.
His tests weren't that easy and my TA sucked. The papers weren't that interesting and overall just not a good class.
dr. winant knows his material really well, however his lectures are kind of boring. Soc. 1 is a fairly easy class with okay midterm and finals, read the book!! TAs were very helpful..essay topics were fun to work on.
Funny guy and very into his job, but he's very close-minded and his midterm and final were ridiculous...they were unclear and unfair. Class would be excellent with another professor.
Here's the deal : Winant is an awesome professor - he really knows a lot and cool to talk to if you keep an open mind. The class however, wasn't all too great; the tests were tricky and I ended up hating a subject that I previously had no opinions on.
This was the worst professor I've ever had.
Not the best class. Winant tried to make it interesting but was mostly incoherent. His lectures were often off-topic and not helpful.
Pointless class. Winant is not a good lecturer. Take this class for gpa purposes ONLY. People who are so ignorant that they don't know their ignorat tend to like this class.
Winant is an awesome professor. The fact that there were so many freshmen in the class who didnt care really made the class less enjoyable. A lot of people don't like him because they say he just spouts off liberal crap. But if you keep an open mind the class is interesting.
He turned a class with great potential into a total bore and waste of time. The lectures were entirely pointless and used as an ineffective way to overwheml students with his ideaological and political platform. Worst Professor I've had so far.
horrible
Winant is the man. You get the most out of lecture if youre open minded and can make inferences about what hes saying. Ignorant people tend not to like him. Its an easy course if youre a smart person.
VERY LIBERAL, but sometimes it was quite amusing to listen to his ramblings. Lectures have practically NO point whatsoever, go cause you get points for attending lecture. Reading is interesting and there isn't a whole lot. Slept through all the lectures, got a B.
His lectures were entertaining, relatively pointless though, the tests were based on the reading, but often on the obscure details. Easy material, tricky tests.
