Winks is the best. Hilarious and savage. Maybe the best prof ive ever had. He clearly loves chemistry and loves teaching. Hes the man!

Comment:
Not a very good communicator, and taught esoterically. The exams did not reflect anything given in either the lecture or the reading material. Very abrupt and short when asked for help during office hours. Not empathetic when you came with questions that he felt you "should" have known the answers. One of the worst professors during my 4y at Penn.

Comment:
He's terrible. Instead of helping me when I needed him most he encouraged me to drop out and forget medical school. Luckily I ignored him and am applying to match in vascular surgery this spring. If you're doubting yourself because of things he said to you- know it's not you- it's him.

Comment:
Winkler can teach well enough, however on a personal level, he is demeaning, condescending, and makes efforts to shame students rather than help us. I love chemistry but he turns me away from it. He makes going to class or meeting with him a very unpleasant experience.

Awesome professor. His explanations are 1000x better than the textbook. Plus, unlike other professors, he finishes the material for the semester on time without a rush at the end.

Comment:
Really tough course and Prof Winkler didn't make it any easier. Exams were much too challenging even for his graduate students. He needs to gauge students understanding rather than just try to get a good distribution of grades. Avoid him period...
