Professor Garfinkel is very concerned with student learning, and goes beyond his call of duty to ensure that the student fully understands and appreciates the deep concepts that he teaches. Dr. Garfinkel is more than a professor who teaches- he is a superhuman, absolutely brilliant combination of both inspiring lecturer, and genius. Most brilliant minds are unable to simplify difficult concepts for the masses, but every word of Dr. Garfinkel combines to simplify the most difficult of concepts (chaos theory, bifurcations, various models) If I could take him every quarter, I would. You must take his classes.
