I'm really bad at Chem and didn't do as well as I would have liked in his class, but that wasn't his fault. I highly recommend him for gen chem 1 and 2, I'm taking him again this semester! Extremely helpful outside of class and replies to emails within a timely manner.

He's great. Good attitude and willing to help. It's impossible to cover absolutely everything in a 50 min lecture, but he's almost able to. If you have to take CHEM1101, TAKE WINKELMANN!!!! He's just an all around good guy.

If you're willing to pay for a class where you are taught the bare minimum and will have to spend hours teaching yourself, this professor is for you! I have friends with other professors teaching the same class who have triple the notes we are given. He's very slow and you get through half a subject per class. If available, take someone else!!!

Had him for Chem. 1. Absolutely HATE chem, but Dr. Winkelmann was really easy-going, laid back, and informational in his lectures. One of the worst classes I've ever had to take, but definitely one of the best professors I've had. Was just an all around cool guy.

I have taken several chemistry classes for my major. All the profs are really good but Winkleman is the best. He is very helpful and funny. Not too bad looking in his suits either.

Probably I didn't like his class just because I don't like chemstry but he helps a lot. His lectures are clear but sometimes he gets too much into it and things get messy. Don't look at his eyes or you'll laugh.

Winkelmann is very good. His lectures are clear and concise. Homework covers what he misses. Does fun demonstrations. Dressed as King Arthur for Halloween. Overall, a fun guy. Tests are multiple choice, but you have to show work. Take good notes, study for the final (ie. don't go to Disney World the weekend before :) )

Had him for Chem 2. Explanations were sometimes hard to follow, and I would have appreciated more in-class examples. Overall, however, Dr. Winkelmann is pretty good. He is very willing to help if you go to his office. Use the HW problems and practice exams to study.

Awesome teacher! He's like super nerd but that's awesome! He explains stuff in great detail too, and while some may say it's overdoing it, I think it is a great trait of good teachers. Would take him again!

Super geeky, but he's awesome! Demos in class keep it fun and interesting. notes are very organized and he does a good job of explaining the content with examples and metaphors. Don't be fooled by easy quizes, the tests WILL be harder

Always tries to make the subject light and entertaining. Weekly quizzes and homework will save the grade however exams are a bit harder. so do well on the quizzes and in lab and you should be fine.

He does an excellent job at presenting the material. There are a couple of spots where it would have been easier if elaborated on but time is limited. All you have to do is pay attention in class and take notes. The quizzes, homework, and tests are fairly easy. Listen and put little bit of effort in and you will do great in this course.

Comment:
It's easy to understand why he abandoned his dreams of comedy and settled for chemistry. The man knows his material and presents it with clarity but following his lectures with the book is essential to get the "A." The practise tests accurately model the actual tests.
