Comment:

Often assigns projects that have unclear requirements and are far too lengthy to finish in lab time. Be prepared to submit an assignments several times before it is accepted for a grade. Almost always comes in late and lectures cut into lab time. Tests are poorly worded, although he claims he doesn't make trick questions. P.S. Google search Wanjack

Comment:

On any given day he can be late to class, he is an easy guy to get along with when he is not grading your assignments. when you turn in an assignment you should expect for it to be given back to at least 5 times before he will accept it. the work load is excessive for the lack of lab time, which is used for lecture.

Comment:

Often late to class, often not prepared for class, sometimes leaves in the middle of class to give tours or go to meetings. Does not give partial credit. Tests, quizzes, and assignments are often unclear, poorly written, and rarely grammatically correct. Has a tendency to make rudepolitically incorrectoffensive statements in class.

Comment:

A lot of work, very repetative. We used the book for problems and "required" reading. He seemed like he really cared about his students at first and would help. He is not often available, hard to get a hold of, and unable to help when you have a question. He is unclear about his projects. He is always late to his class at least 5-10 minutes.

Good instructor but you have to work hard to keep up. He uses a lot of real examples which is helpful. The topics in the course are interesting but can be a little confusing. Tests are from notes and handouts so if you review them you should be fine.

Assigns to much work for the amount of credit the class is worth. Lazy and always late for class and then will hold you late to make up for it.

FSUS is not my favorite class, honestly I think its a waste of time, but he makes it fun. Its really easy to get a good grade in this class but you need to make sure you get your stuff done and try not to be absent.

Overall a very good instructor. The projects really help you learn the material. Don't fall behind and you will be fine. Get him to tell U.P. jokes.

This was my first time having Wanink this semester. The class is alot of work but if you put in the time you will really know your stuff. He will work with you on due dates if he knows you are trying. Don't fall behind and you won't have any problems. Some of the lab assignments are a little tricky but overall really help you learn the software

Comment:

This class overall was pretty easy. If you get the labs completed when he likes them you should be ok. The Midterm and Final exam were both intresting, just make sure you take good notes when he's talking because there is no text book for this class. Also get attatched to the programs you will be using, he will ask questions on test about them

Comment:

It is very helpful to get a solid edge book before this class starts to help learn what is what. As an incomming freshmen I didnt know anything about the program Solid Edge and it made the class 10 times harder for me. He helps but can be unclear at times. He is easily irritated with helping and he is always late to class..ALWAYS
