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!

He made this class a lot of fun. His humor is like Jerry Seinfeld and cracks you up in class. Papers are worth like 70% so do well on those. But you don't have to read because he gives you handouts summarizing the readings, and he gives you a list of questions that will be on the test before! Pretty easy, and highly recommended!

The best teacher I have ever had. He is so funny and that keeps class so interesting. He wants to help his students and that is a rarity. He is also really cute and that NEVER hurts! Zimmerman Rocks!!!

Amazing teacher! Makes going to class entertaining and hilarious, especially when he makes fun of people. His Phil 100D class is also entertaining even though the actual subject is horrible!

So hot. Distustingly sarcastic, but I loved it. He makes the most boring class (ethics) really entertaining and its worth going to class just to see who he is going to make look like a dumbass next, hes awesome, sort of looks like jerry seinfeild, but a hoter. Tests are easy because you are given the questions before hand.

Zimmerman is great!! I had his honors section and he's really funny..he makes the boring material interesting and debating in class is fun! DON'T GET JOHN THE T.A. HE'S HORRIBLE!! I had him and pretty much that ruined the class for me! Otherwise, Zimmerman = the****!

So funny! I loved Zimmerman

Honestly, I laughed until it hurt during every lecture, but I only learned about philosophy of mind by reading the book. Lectures were def. fun, but low on content (i.e. critical analysis and original ideas). Not as intellectually stimulating as other upper div. classes I've taken.

Great teacher, one of the best I've ever had at UCSB. He encourages students to participate in class discussion, as opposed to boring lecture. He honestly cares about the students and encourages student interest in the material. Take his classes if you are ever interested in philosophy.

very good teacher, very entertaining. tel students know what was going to be on test. the papers are hard and the grading depends on your TA, however. but overall a great professor and an awesome class.

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
