Comment:
After taking this class, I have no earthly idea what all the negative reviews about Zacks being "arrogant and rude" were about. I had a great experience in Zacks' class--his lectures were clear and engaging, he's very approachable, and seems like someone who genuinely cares for his students!

Comment:
I generally struggle in lecture classes (especially those that involve biology or neuroscience) but Prof Zacks organizes his lectures well and does a good job of explaining them in ways that I could wrap my head around. He was very helpful (as was the TA), and friendly/approachable!

Comment:
There are several great professors in our department, many that are competent and teach well, and a few that waste everyone's time. Jeff Zacks is at the bottom of the entire list. He has an affected manner and seems to think that taking every opportunity to abuse students will compensate for his egregious bumbling. Students I know all loathe him

Comment:
In a class based on discussion, Prof. Zacks was awful at leading discussion. He talks for too long, capitalizing the conversation for an inappropriate amount of time. His intellectual insecurities are obvious. He has a reputation for picking favorites and handing out emotionally-charged grades. This reputation was confirmed in this class.

Comment:
This teacher has no coherent teaching method and just likes to talk on and on about nothing. Very harsh grader and has little interest in helping students understand the topic. He is condescending and belittling when questions he deems unworthy are asked.

Comment:
Arrogant, condescending and belittling. He has no interest in teaching or making his concepts clear. His teacher's pets are obvious. He was unhelpful and outright mean. He made sure the class knew he was from Stanford and that most of this was beneath him, especially those who needed help.
