The class is easy- I didn't even read the books and I got an A. All you have to do is go to classes & review sessions before tests- he gives a study sheet for the exams and all of the questions from the test are on that sheet. EXTREMELY FUNNY- very comfortable to talk to guy... plus he's pretty cute

Best professor on campus. Going to lecture was the highlight of my day. Very entertaining and knows his**** about philosophy. Definately get this guy.

Awesome class. Zimmerman jokes around with the students and makes class really intresting. The course itself is really intresting as well. Zimemrman called me "the skeptic," a future crack addict, and a wise ass. Best class I have taken here.

Hated this class with a great passion. sometimes the man is entertaining, but then when he recycles old jokes, it get's very annoying. Also, the TA I had for this class was terrible. Ruined my entire experience. John K... Didn't understand a word the man said!!!

The first half of the quarter was really great, when you move on to theoretical ethics things get difficult and VERY BORING. He goes off on wild tangents for most of the lecture he takes about 20 mins to answer your question and doesn't usually answer it directly. get the handouts and skip lecture

he is a jackass. very funny. very smart. expects you to read, doesnt care if you dont. he likes kant a lot (only bad thing). he is very fair, and the papers and tests are reasonable. get a good TA, rich graziano is excellent. this is an awesome class

Amazing class, lectures were great, he kept the class interesting because he clearly loved the topic. Exams were easy enough, just don't rely entirely on the handouts. The review sheets for the exams are VERY helpful though. and don't try to cheat on the exam by slipping pages into your blue book.

He is very funny and easy on the eyes. :) He also makes the subject matter interesting. The final and midterm are VERY easy if you do the study guide. The papers were hard, depending on the T.A.

this is a great class to take! zimmy teaches this class with great knowledge and wit. he knows how to make it interesting and he's great to look at too! His handouts and study guides are VERY helpful and his midterm and final are EASY! "yay for zim"!

He makes the class so much fun and entertaining!! I actually WANTED to go to class w/ him! and girls- get ready for a treat, he's super hot!!

BADASS TEACHER! He's funny in lecture and his assignments have purpose. Tests are easy, straight off the study guide.

This was by far my favorite class all year: the discussions were fascinating and entertaining and Professor Zimmerman is hilarious and very effective. I couldn't recommend somebody any more enthusiastically.

He's an awesome lecturer, heelarious. some of the readings are dense, just read the handouts and you should be fine.

He's a really good lecturer, but when you ask questions-he is sometimes very sarcastics towards you.

He goes off on tangents trying to be funny, but it just made me space out. The review sheets he gives for the tests are very helpful. Papers difficult

zimmerman is great. his lectures are clear, he's humorous and keeps the classes attention easily. hes an attractive guy. the paper topics are cool and he gives review sheets for the midterm and final which are very helpful.

Definitley an interesting class... he holds the classes attention well.

He kinda reminds my of Adam Corolla. Insightful and entertaining, I enjoyed almost all the lectures. I would have liked the class more if my TA wasn't such a hardass. The papers are definately the hardest part of the class, especially if you get a bad TA.

Very funny and a strong lecturer. Midterm and final are easy, but get a good TA. My TA graded the papers extrememly hard, expecting us to have a fairly strong background in phil. My test average was high A, paper grades low C.

I don't think Zimmerman is a bad professor, just not for me. Most of the class is just him talking through the concepts which for me was hard to keep up with. I got a good grade on the papers but basically had to teach myself the material. I'm sure some people loved him but his style was not for me at all.

The reading materials were difficult and he sometimes couldn't explain them clearly. Obviously, he was using the previous classes' handouts and didn't prepare well.

Only take this class if you're seriously interested in philosophy. The course material was very dense and it was easy to get lost if you weren't paying attention. The handouts helped a lot, but epistemology is a hard topic no matter what. Zimmerman's lectures were fun, but he takes a lot of time to answer questions. 2 papers, and 1 take-home final.
