Reviews of professor Joshua Fincher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had Dr. Fincher for Hebrew this past semester and if you have any interest in any class he is teaching, take it! He is exceptionally brilliant and absolutely loves teaching. His passion is obvious and contagious; while he gave a lot of information and assignments, he was fair about his grading and expectations.

Fincher is an albatross. The unique combination of a prof who knows and loves the language combined with easy grading techniques. Homework assigned every night, but not for a grade; instead you reiterate your answers in class. He doesn't care if you screw it up, just that you tried. You can bomb the tests and get 80s.

I took a linguistics seminar and Hebrew I with Dr. Fincher. PLEASE NOTE that in both classes there were times when I was overwhelmed by the amount of information and (in Hebrew) homework, but it all turned out fine and I did better than I had hoped in both classes! Dr. Fincher is a brilliant language professor and knows Jewish culture first-hand.

Definitely not a good subject, but he gets you through it and he doesn't try to hurt your grade. He'll give you exactly what you need for exams, and his final paper is nothing to stress about. I'll never be interested in the subject, but I'm glad I took it with him. I wish I was able to take some classes of his that I am interested in.

Dr. Fincher is a very engaging and knowledgeable professor that will get you excited about whatever you are studying through his enthusiasm. He makes his expectations clear and as long as you keep up with the homework and consistently study the vocabulary you will do well in his class.

He is very passionate about what he teaches, introducing new material in an easy-to-understand manner and going on tangents to give insight into the history and culture surrounding the language he's teaching. There's quite a bit of homework, but he is not an exceptionally harsh grader. If you keep up with homework exams aren't too bad.

Dr. Fincher is an amazing lecturer and a hilarious professor. He is very knowledgeable in the history and anthropomorphic side of languages. His tests are straightforward and he is excellent at understanding what you are trying to ask. 10/10 prof
