Comment:

I had to take BIOSCI201 at a different college. The professor I had was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to be in his class. I discovered Professor Fink's YouTube channel! I tell you, it will be the BEST invested time you will ever spend. I spent hours watching his lectures on Anatomy, makes difficult concepts easy to understand, clear, organized!

THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD his lectures are long but so interesting, he breaks down the material so its easy to understand. His exams are fair, if you put in the time you will do well. he knows we want to become nurses so he teaches class that way, tries to relate it to what we would see in the real world with patients. TAKE HIM !!!

Hands down the best Professor I have ever had at SMC. I have learned so much about the human body which Would not only help me in healthcare profession but also my personal life. His lectures are crystal clear. Anatomy is a hard class so you gotta study everyday but he makes it easy for you. He has videos of his lectures and labs on his website too

Comment:

Dr fink has a good way of scaring his students. His tests are ridiculous... 135 questions JUST for his lecture notes and 75 questions on just anatomy itself. He does not care to let you know anything important. Instead he tests you on things that are so irrelevant to his lecture notes that he never talked about. Take this class if you have TIME.

His passion for teaching is so inspiring and motivating please do yourself a favor and take him! The tests are not tricky at all in fact everything you need to know he lectures on so take good notes or watch his videos. He provides you with all the material you need and more to get the A, so its really up to YOU to study! TIP: DON'T PROCRASTINATE!

Professor Fink is AMAZING!!! His class is easy and not at the same time--you have to learn the material (which is tougha lot of memorization) but he could not make it more available to you! He repeats all the necessary info a bunch of times, all of his lectures are VERBATIM online. Spend the time and you'll get the grade you want.

Don't get fooled, the kids in his class know his stuff. Anatomy is hard, you want an A? you have to work very hard for it. Not easy by any means. Grades are based on 6 tests and a final.

He is by far the best teacher I've had at smc. He made me fall in love with anatomy. I seriously look forward to this class. He is really hard, but makes it easy by giving you everything you need and all the videos help a lot. Seriously prepares you for the health field. I love him.

FINK IS THE GREATEST TEACHER! take him! You will walk away SO prepared for physio or any other science class. It's a lot of work, but so worth it!!!He also explains things so clearly!!! I am taking bio right now with the worst teacher who can't explain anything and I would not be passing if it wasn't for Fink. He is really an amazing teacher.

Took him for ANATOMY 1 & PHYSIOLOGY. He is a great teacher. He keeps the subject entertaining and is never boring. He is not easy. You will need to put in the work and REALLY understand the material for the exams. Especially for Physiology!!! He may be discouraging at the beginning but that is just to keep the strong in his class.

Hands down the best professor at SMC! Made me love the biological sciences! Took it over the short semester. Don't need to read the lab manuel, just come to class, listen and take accurate notes during his lecture and study a lot and you will get an A. Those small percentage of ppl who thought the class was hard didn't spend enough time to study.

Comment:

Professor Fink is one of the greatest and best science professors of all time. He's clear and knows his stuff. If you take his class, you will learn a tremendous amount. Don't expect an easy A. You have to earn the A, but if you dedicate yourself to his class you will get an A, learn a lot of useful information (esp health) and be very entertained.
