Very patient. His lectures are often light-hearted. Aside from his handwriting on the board which can be hard to understand at times, you will learn alot from him.

Wineman is a really experienced and funny professor. If he sees your hand go up in class (which is rare that he sees it, he rarely deviates from writing on the board) he usually gives a good answer. The homework can be tough, but working in groups and taking good notes in lecture helps. Overall a must-have professor

Very funny, but can't lecture. His writing on the board is impossible to read, with J, T tau, and being identical. R and pi also look alike. The homework was created by a different professor and is hard and very different from the course content.

Prof Wineman is great! If you're planning to take ME 211 you would want to take it with him. Office hours are crucial if you want to learn the material and get the weekly hw done. His exams are the easiest of all the professors, and he's just an amazing person.

Comment:
Professor Wineman is an excellent choice for ME211. Very clear explanations and gives good guidance on what to study for the exams. He works hard to provide real world examples for the uses of each lecture subject. Downside: His handwriting can be tough to read and the HW load in this class can be high.

Comment:
Wineman is consistently the best 211 professor. He's very clear about what is on the exams and very clear about what you need to know. His handwriting is atrocious, so you may need the textbook to understand some formulas, but otherwise it's a fantastic class. Some semesters (like mine) had tons of HW. live in the ME help room.

Very enthusiastic and makes funny comments that will keep you engaged. He goes through material really quickly and has terrible handwriting, which also shows up on a lot of the web notes or exam solutions but it's possible to read. I would highly recommend him though, he tells you exactly what will be on exams and they seem to be easier than others

Comment:
Wineman explains concepts well and is adorable and entertaining. You definitely don't want to miss lecture - he teaches in depth so you don't have to read the book. Just make sure to take notes as he talks - sometimes his handwriting is hard to read. You'll want to work on homework in the ME help room.

Wineman is the best 211 teacher. Homeworks are challenging, and office hours aren't very good because alot people come and it can be difficult to get help. However, if you do the homework, the exams are generally straightforward. Uses funny examples and very straighforward explanations. Would take him again.

Offers good explanations and examples and keeps the class engaged. Sometimes he works through things pretty quickly and if you miss it, you're out of luck because his handwriting is near illegible (can't believe no one has mentioned this). Very helpful in office hours. Homeworks are terrible but if you can get through the homework, tests are easy.

Amazing. Seriously, take anything he teaches. My only problem with him was I laughed too hard at his jokes and felt awkward. Knows a ton, obviously loves teaching and is super helpful.

Best 211 prof by far. The homework is the same in all sections and it sucks, but his lectures are entertaining and clear. Exams are easy, but if you mess up the little stuff it will come back to get you. 26 points off for 2 arrows in the wrong direction. Discussion is useless.

Great prof, definitely the best for ME211. Has the easiest exams of all of the 211-profs bc he tests on the basic material and doesn't try to trick. Very laid-back, approachable, knowledgeable, and funny.
