Comment:

Dr. Fink is an older gentleman and he isn't as engaging as he may have used to be. His voice is very monotone and it was easy to doze off. When I decided to go to class he would often make goofy mistakes and the students would correct him. Luckily I was good at math before taking his class so teaching myself the content was a breeze!

Super monotone. I took him for a math class and when he made an error, he would mumble among his breath and not address the error to the class. Could never read math problems on the board. When e-mailed, he was never too eager to help.

Not the best at office hours. DO THE HOMEWORK. The homework is optional but if you don't do it you won't pass. Lectures are pretty boring but they do the job, mostly. It is hard, but not Fink doesn't make any harder. The class is by nature tough Fink does not make it any easier or harder he is just sort of there. average.

Comment:

If you value your GPA, do not take Dr. Fink. He is extremely monotonous in class, is reluctant to explain anything for a second time, and is very intimidating and borderline rude if you try to go to his office hours. His tests are some of the hardest I ever took at Northwest, and there is minimal (if any) extra credit.

Comment:

Pretty bad professor in my opinion. Lectures are so boring, he just writes out problems on the board and DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING, he just uses the phrase "so, didn't I just..." all the time like we already know. He mumbles to himself all through class, always messes up calculations and we have to correct him. Tests are easy, homework every class.

Lectures are boring, but they get to the point. Do the homework and use the reviews he has online. Tests are tough but usually are based on the general concepts.

Horrible online teacher! Hated every second of it. Only gives two examples per subject when there are 10 different things to understand. I mostly taught myself and barely scraped by with a passing grade. Never EVER take this guy's class!

He only did examples in class. If the homework was different than the examples, then it was difficult to complete.

NEVER take this class online. Or at least not with Fink. The course material is too vague and you CANNOT teach it to yourself. Awful class that I will probably have to retake now because it was so hard.

Explained things well. If you pay attention, he'll keep you entertained with little sounds he makes as he draws 3D depictions on the board.

Pleasent man. Slightly intimidating at first, but he is really quite nice and easy to get along with. He knows the material well, but he occasionally makes simple errors like the rest of us humans.

This was a great class. Dr. Fink really knows his stuff and although lectures are rather monotone, he can be pretty funny. YOu have to love a math prof that can't add.
