Dr. Finkelstein is accessible outside of class and truly cares about students who try. Although the expectations for students are slightly unrealistic and tests are made extremely difficult, she wants to make you a better student

This professor was one of the worst that I have had. She decided to change the grading structure after the final because students did better on exams/materials not given by her. She covers material never before discussed in MCDB 1A and yet assumes everyone knows basic information she never gave.

Professor Finkelstein can always come up with some fun question formats and include 15 true/false questions in your exams. Try to distinguish between A, B, and C, while D and E are "A and B" and "A and C"; its not going be harder than discovering the theory of relativity.

Class was pretty bad. Lectures were incredibly boring and final was very difficult. There are a lot of resources to help you learn, but she is not one of them. I think she is retiring now, so be grateful you don't have her
