Zimmerman held it down. Fun class and good lecturer. Was very clear and interesting. Take it, even if you aren't interested in philosophy. Went a little too slow at the beginning and then too fast at the end, but still really good class. Even if you don't need to go to lectures to get a good grade, i would suggest attending because they are fun.
Best. Professor. Ever. He seriously made me look forward to every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The class was sooo interesting, and not only did we learn a lot but we laughed out loud the whole quarter! Professor Z is AMAZING! TAKE HIM!!
Lectures are great, but readings are not! He explains everything well so comprehension of the material is not hard. i recommend any class taught by him!
Zimmerman Pretty much rocks! Prima facie I was so scared to take this class, but I really enjoyed the class in the end! Lectures were entertaining, I laughed because he gots jokes. Make sure to print out and study the handouts, you don't really need to read the books. get a good t.a. like Chris Tennberg and you're set.
He's a funny guy, but SO hard to pay attention during class, lectures not mandatory to pass. MAKE SURE to print out the study guides because they outline EVERYTHING you need to know and keep out the unnecessary. Midterm and final easy if you answer all the questions. Two 5 page essays which aren't bad. Recommended. All pretty interesting anyway :)
I took this class a couple of years ago and really enjoyed (I'm not a phil major) Zimmerman is really funny and a great guy. He still stops and says hi to me if I see him on campus. Class was kind of easy...I got a B without really doing the readings
One of the most helpful professors I have encountered. Great sense of humor to

Very funny. He finds ways to make things relevant or will say things so outrageous that they stick in your brain. It really helps when you have to memorize things. He has an awesome mind and the lectures are definitely more important that the books. No need to take notes, you'll have no problem remembering what he says.
Do you wanna learn Philosophy from "Jerry Seinfield"? Then this IS the professor for you! Sarcasm gets thick sometimes, but the class was ALWAYS interesting!
He is entertaining, funny, great at answering questions, and oh yes, a cutie pie. I really liked going to his lectures but I did not like that he did not write anything on the board and it was very difficult to take notes in his class. But I would surely reccomend this prof. to anyone interested in philosophy.
This guy is sheer philosophical awesomeness. He knows his material like nothing else and while he can sometimes get carried away, he'll always explain fully. Try not to be late, or leave ealry, or yawn, he'll tear you a new one, but if you're interested in philosophy this guy is the best. The only complaint is that there is 3 essays.
He is my man! Love him!
entertaining at times, pretty funny, don't yawn in class or he will pick on u, the review sheets for the tests are the EXACT same questions as the test, so if u do them in advance, you will do fine.
take philosophy 4 with this guy, the material is interesting and he is funny as hell.
this class was aweomse. zimmerman is a great prof, he is so entertaining, i loved going to lectures. tests are easy too cause he gives you the questions before. i definetly reccommend taking this class.
Is there a bad thing you could say about Zimmerman...I mean seriously...he is awesome, except if you yawn in his class. Other than that, he makes lectures worth going to and he gives study guides for the test which as extremely helpful.
Awesome teacher who makes lectures fun.
Worked hard and got a C+. Glad I'm not majoring in Philosophy! =D
extremely entertaining AND informative lectures. aside from having to surpress yawns, i really enjoyed the class and i really learned a lot. i also got away with doing almost none of the readings and still got an A. definitely take.
Zimmerman is an incredible teacher, and I was sad after the class ended. He makes going to class fun, and you really don't have to do any of the reading. Tests are easy if you know the questions on his study guide. Honestly, I wish I could take this class again just to have more time around Zimmerman
if he didnt spend so much time being sarcastic and telling 300 kids not to yawn, maybe we would be able to get out of class 20 minutes early....and do something with our lives.
Awesome professor. Some of the topics didn't particularly pike my interest, but Zimmerman made class worth going to. Lectures were entertaining as he is a really witty, sarcastic, funny dude. People say he's like Seinfeld, which is quite true. Grade primarily based off essays, so concentrate on those. Good class.
Boy, he is good!
