Comment:
Prof. Zink was once a great instructor but his age caught up to him. He's a really caring and knowledgeable guy, but it was insanely difficult to communicate with him. He often misunderstood students and only responded to about 1/3 of my emails. He didn't give a syllabus or know our homework grades. I had to learn from the book and online resources

Comment:
He's getting up there in age but is still going strong as a great professor. To do well, lectures should definitely be supplemented with homework and occasional textbook reading. Notable quotes: "That's enough for today, sports fans." "Let the wicked of today cease thereunto." "If I happen to collapse, bring the corpse to the main office."

This guy is good. He has been around since John Purdue started the school, however, he is still on the top of his game.
