PROFESSOR WINKLER 

Panther of the Week!

“Few professors are able to approach their topic of teaching with such energy, passion, creativity, and humor as Professor Winkler. His extravagant demonstrations and well-thought-out lectures craftily reach out and intrigue the previously unintrigued while making class fun for all students regardless of experience or familiarity with physics.”

“Professor Winkler's classes brighten my days. Seeing how much he loves astronomy and teaching it makes me love it too!”

“Where other teachers would simply give a lecture, Professor Winkler sets up interesting and wacky demonstrations each lecture period that make even the least interested students sit at the front of their chairs.”

 “He succeeds in making every class period a surprise, be it through his use of “dessert” – fun, extraneous, and varied presentations at the end of class – or even through stunts as wild as riding a fire-extinguisher-fueled wagon down Great Hall for all to see the effects of Newton’s Third Law. Professor Winkler is truly an incredible teacher and an undeniably nice man, and I’m honored to be in his class.”
