She's funny, and I think she's an excellent professor.

I only wish she were teaching all the math classes that I needed.

She's a good professor, funny too.

A good all around teacher. Drills you well on test material. Makes 99% of classes worth attending. She made hard material easier for me. Puts all of the class work on the internet (I recommend checking it out before you take the class).

A teacher who actually cares about her students learning. Would definitely take another class with her but I'm done with math at Moorpark. All-around good teacher.

Kathy Fink is the best math teacher I have had since enrolling in college (and possibly ever!). She is lucid her explanation and she makes the subject of calculus interesting by referring to actual people in the field, its applications and theory.

What a nice teacher she is! Very helpful that it's impossible to get lower than a B in her class. Ask her a million questions, go to her office she will treat you the best way possible and WILL EXPLAIN UNTIL YOU LEARN IT! Don't take anybody else! take her

This is the best professor at Moorpark College. Everybody should take math from her. Not only is she very helpful, but math is her passion, so she can explain how everything works. She is also one of the most intelligent people I've every met.

Cannot get better than Kathy.Helping is like her favorite thing to do.And she treats you like an expert because if you realize you pretty much are an expert when you're in calculus.You just grow to love her so much.:)Thank you kathy

Ok, I don't know about what everyone below me said but I do know that don't bother taking this class unless you are really serious!Doing your hw is a must!The bases of your grade is only on test, nothing else.If your a best test taker, don't take her. So don't waste your time if your not serious

The best math teacher @ MC. She makes math simple. I had no interest in Statistics but she actually makes the subject interesting. Tests are difficult but if you take good notes, won't be a problem. If you don't understand something, she will be more than happy to explain it until you understand it.

Very interested in what she does. Tries very hard to accurately explain concepts. Answers ALL questions. Great help during office hours. Would definitely take again.

Homework is assigned daily but never collected. I did all the Homework the day before the test and got an A in the class. This class does require that you put in a little work but an A is easily within reach. She is very helpful.

K. Fink is the "bomb digity". she definitely knows her stuff. She makes you want to love what she does. I never did any homework till the weekend b4 each test and I got an A. I'm not recommending u do that, but if you have a weakness in math, she's the one. Easy as long as you practice your math.

I'm really horrible at math and with Kathy's help I got an A. It is a really boring subject but she is so enthusastic and willing to help. Try to do the homework assignments even though she doesn't collect them and do all the study guides they really help. You should be able to get an A.

she is a really good teacher. she gives last semester's tests on her website and the tests that you take are exactly the same but different numbers. real easy. i recommend everyone to take her stat class. shes really cool too!

Be sure to do your homework and you will do fine. If you're not going to do it, you won't get very far. She will explain what she is doing when one asks. Overall, I enjoyed the class, tests are not too hard, she has near-exact copies of previous tests on website, do those b4 test and your set

Despite the fact that I had a hard time understanding the work and pressure problems, she never gave up on me......she spent so much time with me that I ended up not only with an A but with a very high A. Professor Fink is always their for her students because she loves what she does.......Thankyou very much...

Do the HW and go to class if you want an A. Tests are not very hard.

Very cool teacher. Very helpful, and enthusastic about learning. Taking M30 and M31 at the same time is interesting because they overlap a bit.

Very good teacher, nice person!

The only way you'd think she's not a good teacher is if you don't try. She treats you like grown-ups. If you have questions ask, either in class or office hours or by email. If you get behind, you probably will have trouble getting caught up, but is that her problem or yours?

I really liked her class and teaching style. She was really concerned with people's progress in the class. If you have any questions or worries, go talk to her during office hours. I am not very good at math, but I still felt that she graded pretty fairly and was very helpful. I'd recommend her, just don't expect a totally easy class.

Mrs. Fink is the best math teacher I ever had. I never understood the stuff in highschool, but she really helped me get calculus. I think she is one of the best professors at Moorpark College. If you are willing to work hard and try your best, I highly recommend her.

She's great. There's no way you will have to retake her class if you try hard and get extra help if you need it. If you think the class is too hard, then quit whining and go get a tutor.

Awesome math teacher. Really personal and will help you out any time you need it. She is challenging but fair. I had to work hard for my A but I got it, don't be afraid to ask her for help or get a tutor (I found study groups with friends i made in class to be helpful). A+ teacher.

She is a GREAT teacher. I barely passed my first class of calc and then I understood everything when she taught it. You can't go wrong with this teacher. Hurry up and sign up, her classes fill up fast.

It is a class that is all about tests and hardly an assignments!!! Just tests it is hard and she thinks she is so funny but it is dry hummor

great teacher! A lot didn't think so because of her explanations. But, she doesn't require you to do the HW (although you should), and her tests are fair. SHe also puts old exams and reviews (with answers!) online for students' access. Nice lady, gives extra time on final and tests. Very funny-she loves what she does!

She is a great teacher, completely knows what she is doing and has a very good knowledge of the material that she teaches; she is also very helpful; the course is not easy though, needs practice and hard work. I loved her class.

She never says she won't help you. No quizzes. 4 - 6 tests. Gives review sheets for tests before tests are given. Never deviates from the style of questions. Really no curve balls. One ec problem per test. Only like 10 questions per test anyway. Homework everyday. Two sections per day. She's not crazy over "why this is the way it is."

excellent, is willing to go back and review when necessary

Excellent teacher. Very clear and fair. I honestly cannot think of a single negative thing to say about the class. As long as you keep up with the homework, which is not to hard or graded either, it's almost impossible to get anything less than an A. Wish she was teaching my next math class.

Just plainly she is the best. I have had many math teachers, but she is at the top. I love her humor, and her style. She teaches very well, but you have to do your part too. Study, attend class and do the homework even if it's not required.

Just nice. Fairly easy, helpful, knowledgeable. Wants you to do the homework from the book, gives practice sheets before tests, which are very similar to the actual tests. And on the tests she gives one extra-credit problem worth ten(!) points. She wants students to do well and not hate mathematics. Provoked interest in the subject in me.

Kathy Fink is a good instructor to have. Nothing to complain about unless you really don't understand math. Also, if you get to Calc, she is very thoughtful to let ALL of the waitlist and not waitlist people in. She states "It makes me feel sorry if I turn any of you away..." I was shocked at how nice she was even though her class was full.

By far one of the best math teachers I have ever had. She is clear, concise, and to the point. One word of advice though, you have to be interested in math to be great in this class. She moves steadly covering all the objectives. Make sure to do homework and study and you should do fine! My advice take her

Shes an alright teacher, but she goes really fast. I failed the class but I couldve passed if I actually tried. If you do her homework, you should be fine. But her tests are VERY VERY VERY DIFFICULT. You would need to study your life away, literally. Good luck if you take this teacher, shes helpful. But the class itself is impossible.

Most people who are saying the class is impossible either just don't try or don't do the homework. The homework isn't mandatory, but it's a good idea to do it. She gives review sheets before every test that are similar to the test. The class itself at times is tough, but she is a good teacher and a nice person.

Great teacher who always answers questions. Does two lessons a day as well as review from the prior class(hw questions). If you ask her a question during a test she will give you hints. Only take this class if you are serious about it. It's a hard class that requires a lot of time!

Kathy is a good teacher but the class itself is hard. The worst part is how long the classes are and they are boring! She basically just teaches lessons one after another and doesn't do anything different ever. She is pretty clear and the tests are fair. The problem is the is no extra credit and the course is difficult

Kathy is such a great instructor. Her lectures are very clear, but if something isn't quite clicking for you during the lecture, just raise your hand and she'll do her best to break it down for you. Has a sense of humor and is friendly. Loves teaching. Tests and grading are fair. Has good review materials online. Do your homework.

Great teacher! She explains the material very clearly and gives excellent study guides before tests. She is also really nice and always makes time if you have questions. I'm definitely going to take her for M03.

her test reviews are way easier than her tests, her tests are really hard. math was easy for me until calculus, so unless calc is easy for youre going to get your tests back with 70% averages. grades on tests ranged from 100% to 20%. i studied a ton just to get a C on a test, so if you want to study calc every day of the semester take this class

Very easy.especially for a fill in class.

math nerd who knows subject very well. boring teacher, but math is a boring subject. teaches material very well. highly recommend her if you want to learn something.

I wasn't great at math in high school but she was the first math teacher who I actually learned and understood math from I would definitely recommend. She is a great teacher!

She's is great. Gives you all you need to succeed.

Haters gonna hate. This class is hard, and alot of people still leave early and jerk off. If you're gonna get a good grade you'll sweat for it. You learn the material though. This is Calc, if the idea of hard work is averse to you then switch majors

Professor Fink was a great professor with a really fun approach to calculus. Although calculus is sort of intimidating at first, she really makes an effort to make it as clear as possible. Her practice tests and reviews are imperative to your survival of this class, so study/do them thoroughly and you'll do fine.

I would say she is a good teacher but you HAVE to go out of your way to ask questions and such to figure that out, she honestly teaches the board, not the class. Class was very boring, most people didn't even bother coming. If you get on her good side and participate a lot, she'll give you a fair grade.

If expect this class to be like high school pre-calculus don't take this class, but as long as you do the homework, take the notes, review, and work hard you should be fine.

She's an awesome professor. Not the easiest but definitely laid back woman. She tries to make the class fun and welcomes ANY question. She gives you hints on the test upon request and doesn't put any tedious problems

Great professor hard material. You MUST do your homework on your own in order to be prepared for the tests. Be there every class or you will miss important material. This class is hard but this professor will get you through it IF you put in the effort. I got 98% -100% each test. (I am a biology major)

Kathy is an awesome teacher. She's so chill! Her lectures are crystal clear, and she is always willing to explain something if you don't understand it. She doesn't collect homework, but you should do it because it prepares you for tests. The reviews she gives out are also very helpful. As long as you put forth the effort, you'll pass.

Although she is so BORING, She's probably one of the best profs to take for stats for 2 reasons. 1) she goes through things SO slow, sometimes too slow. 2) she gives a review for each test with the answers so u know exactly what to expect on the tests. actually DO THE HW, study for tests, and listen in class as much as possible and youll get an A:)

Only 5 tests and a final so you better do good on the tests if you want a good grade. Theres no homework grades or anything to save your grade. That being said this is probably the best stats teacher you could possibly take for the sole fact that she lets you do everything on your calculator on the tests. So you need a calculator. Highly Recommend.

Kathy sets up her students for success. You get an equation sheet on each test, and as long as you know which equation to use at which time, you are guaranteed an A! This means STUDY, do HOMEWORK, and GO TO CLASS!

Professor Fink is a prime example of a professor who genuinely cares about her students passing. She wouldn't test us on material the week before the exam, gives extra credit, and is very VERY friendly. Took her for both M31 and M21, both classes were rewarding experiences. Just do the homework and you'll be fine!

Fink is a good professor! She moves pretty quickly but its not super hard to keep up. She really wants to help you so if you get behind or confused you can go to her office and she will help you until you understand. She's a really fun person too! Her tests are difficult but if you study hard you'll do well in her class. overall a great professor.

Fink has gotten a lot of hate on campus, and I have to admit I did hate her in the begin as well. I was just to afraid to ask her to explain and slow down. Her class moves fast so if you need help just follow her up to her office and she will help. If you do the homework, ask questions, and show up everyday she will offer more support and make you.

Professor Fink is very funny and friendly. She's willing to explain everything, and usually uses graphs and/or pictures which makes 3-dimensional calculus much easier to understand. Entire grade is 5 tests (She dropped our lowest).

About 22 years ago, in Fall 1997, I took Calc 1 (Math 25A) with her. She is not bad at all. I worked 60 hr/week and I made sure to always attend the class before mid/final exams where she is willing to show us what she will be testing. She was motivating me to study harder. I got B and am very happy!
