Reviews for Allen E. Winkelmann
Average Rating:| fiddlerkrt Course: ENAE362 Grade Expected: A- December 22, 2010, 12:44 am | I think the other two reviews are a little harsh. There are three components to this class: labs, the midterm, and the final. As far as labs go, it really depends on the TA grading them. I normally got low A's since the TA saw fit to just take off points whenever he felt like it (this was the case for most of the class). I got a 70% on the midterm which wasn't bad considering the average was about 54%. The final was very long, 24 pages, and tedious. The key to this class is to read the lecture worksheets you get at the beginning of the course, study the labs, and write down everything he says in class. He actually tells you some of the questions you are most likely to see by saying "make sure you know this" or "this would be a good question for the final exam." I couldn't believe it when I looked around and noticed that most of the people in the class didn't write anything down when he dropped us hints. The reason I gave Winkelmann a four is that he is a very good teacher who knows what he is talking about even though his grading scheme is a little evil at times. |

The labs are long but easy to get a good grade on if you make sure you follow all the instructions. His grading will seem pedantic for the first few labs but after a while you will get the hang of what he wants to see and everyone gets high As. The wildcard is the midterm and final. The thing about his lectures is that he doesn't write much on the board so most people think they don't need to take notes. Well that's wrong. Make sure you write down every single word that comes out of his mouth because it WILL be tested! I learned that the hard way. Also the averages on the tests are really bad--below 50%. He curves a lot so don't worry if you fail. I got an E on the midterm and still ended up with an A in the class somehow. |
| Anonymous Course: ENAE464 Grade Expected: June 24, 2008, 7:15 am | Always gives at least 1 student a D, even if graduating senior. Old, long-tenured professor who does not care about rules or policy. Decent teaching ability, but when you're looking for a 464 class, stay the hell away from his. Dr. Yu does not fail anyone, Dr. W is guaranteed to always fail at least one. |
