Reviews of professor Heather Finch

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Finch clearly cares about her students. She took the time in class a few times to make sure that we were doing okay mentally, giving us the time to take about any issues even those that are from other classes, and encouraged us to meditate. Make sure you do the required readings and you'll do just fine.

She's not forgiving if you have a failing grade. I asked for extra credit multiple times and she declined, but gave some to other students anyways. Goes off topic in class, sometimes there no point in going to class because she just talks about herself most of the time. I forget the class is a writing class because of how off focused it is.

Dr. finch is so sweet and kind! The only problems I had were that there was ALWAYS something we needed to do- like every single day of my week there was something I needed to do for this class. Sometimes she would be hard to contact outside of class too. However I would take her class again, shes really kind and caring.

Words can not describe how caring and sweet Dr. Finch is. I can't believe she has such a low rating, her class was truly amazing. I learned so much about what it is like to be black in America, and overall her class was so educational. All you have to do is do the readings and think about them, and then discuss. Loved her class.

Dr. Finch was the worst teacher to have for and online Maymaster. She was very difficult to communicate with. She would not be willing to work with you if you had other school conflicts or life conflicts. She wouldn't let you do extra work to save your grade. And I think she just enjoys failing students. This has been my worst professor at Belmont.

Dr. Finch took a general Human Behavior/ Trauma studies class and made it into a black studies class. Gives projects that are way too involved and have little relation to the class at all. Does not give a complete syllabus or any clear rubrics. When you meet with her during office hours she does little to help. Extremely biased in teaching. Avoid!!

Dr. Finch is AMAZING. Her class is so fun and informative. She is so in touch with her students and is very respectful of everyone. She makes you think about things in ways youve never considered. Definitely the cool teacher. You have to do work, but it is entertaining and now stressful. Take her class!! I wish I could take it every semester.

I'm only halfway through this semester with Dr. Finch and I wish I dropped on day 1. She is not a professor that represents the values and qualities of what makes professors here so great, she should not be a professor here. Avoid her classes at all costs as she is also confusing and doesnt put students first.
