Dr. Zink is one of the best professors I've ever had. I plan on taking more of his classes.

Other than that he's great and i highly recommend taking his classes.

You know, T.S. Eliot once said “If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?". With Gilbert Zink, you will be presented that aerial view of yourself and hopefully be able to use that as a reference point for not only your academic career, but your future. Gilbert Zink saved me.

The majority of people commonly equate the term "school" with the idea of "work" or "chore". I regret to admit that up until September of 2007, I fell into this majority. It was in that very September that I was taught and tested by Dr. Zink. I know fully understand the importance of academic perseverence and the pursuit of knowledge. No regrets :)

You really have to work hard in this class in order to not only do well on the exams, but pass! But, he is such an amazing professor and always answers your questions.
