Comment:
John Fink was the best professor I ever had, despite not being a Math major. He is brilliant and can convey his ideas in a way that is understandable and intuitive. I loved my time in the classroom, but he was also a mentor to me outside the classroom with his life advice and counseling. One of the best human beings I have ever met. Thank you!

Dr. Fink has a contagious passion for math that helps make a sometimes dull subject interesting. Occasionally he can be a little absent minded, but he is always willing to help and very engaging with students.

Comment:
Dr. Fink is a great professor. All the people saying he's arrogant or belittling must have gotten the wrong impression. He's almost always available for help outside class and he's very understanding when you don't get something and trying to work with how you learn. Truly enjoys what he does and loves seeing students excited too.

Crazy man with a passion about the subject (even math) his students, and the local community. He likes students better when they get involved in his program with local kids.

dr fink is the best math prof i've ever had. although he's very entertaining, i don't think he puts on a performance in class. from his enthusiasm during office hrs and even when i just bump into him on campus, i can tell he loves math, teaching, students, ideas, and learning. highly recommended.

He seemed to give really polished performances in the classroom. However, I got the overall feeling that he didn't like math - that what I was getting in the classroom was JUST a performance.

I think anyone who has went into his office for help would agree that it is almost as if he enjoys belittling students when they do not understand what he perceives as basic concepts.

I don't know what my classmate is talking about. Dr. Fink has always been available to help. Additionally, his lectures are engaging and manage to make abstract, challenging topics more accessible and interesting. Highly recommended.
