Comment:
A very knowledgeable professor and extremely helpful if you go talk to him outside of class. In class he's a little dull but he knows and loves his content. Sit close to the front because he speaks softly. Tests are easy if you go to class and pay attention.

The class is dull and lifeless. His monotone voice and personality-less style of teaching did nothing for me at least. He's a nice man, but the material and the way the course is presented left much to be desired.

Comment:
Taking Winston's "Tragedy" class was a TRAGEDY. Though doubtlessly brilliant regarding anything written originally in English or French, he is completely ignorant of Greek language and culture, and has no business teaching a class centered around Greek tragedy. Take him for Shakespeare, or any other English drama, but not tragedy.

Comment:
He is a very nice man, but not a great teacher. In this class we had to read 8 plays during the semester and write 2 papers. His lectures are not at all organized, and are extremely hard to follow. Every test is long-essay format. Plus he does not try to make the class interesting at all, and yet expects you to partcipate.

Comment:
Dr. Winston may seem bland, self-absorbed, and condescending at times, but he knows the material very well and if students ever wish to discuss said material OUTSIDE OF CLASS (as it should be) then he is very willing to accomodate them. He does not tolerate pedants and will remove them if they harass a topic.

Comment:
He is not going to let anyone in the class talk. Even though participation is 20% of your grade he still spends the entire time going through the play line by line. If you don't like to discuss this is your class. Rather easy grader on tests and papers.

He wants his classes to be discussion oriented, but never lets anyone in the class talk. If you like lecture better than discussion -- he's good. Otherwise, his class is very frustrating.

Lectures were interesting, if not in themselves, he was an interesting guy to observe... Good for help outside of class.
