ls30b It is true what people say about Dr. Garfinkel. He is charismatic, enthusiastic, and without need to say, brilliant. His classes are among the most fascinating that I have ever had the privilege of taking, and his teaching style ensures that you understand every word and concept of his lectures. He genuinely cares about student learning, and though he is unavailable for emails due to his immensely busy schedule, he will go out of his way to help you during office hours. He is an amazing individual and I truly respect this man.
