My, oh my! One of (if not the best) chem professors I've had in my undergraduate experience at Brown. Makes you work hard, but the class was really rewarding and his notes were phenomenal!

Comment:

He's an amazing professor: extremely engaged and connected to his students. He willingly answers every question regardless of its stupidity. I have never regretted going to class even though it's a 9am. He makes everything from resonance to "backside attacks" Substitution reactions interesting.

Amazing Professor. One of the few professors that keeps you interested and attentive in class considering the class is at 9 o clock and its organic chemistry. Simplifies things.. Definitely need to take tons of notes in this class

Comment:

Zimmt is a clear lecturer but is not funny at all. Not only are his jokes the corniest things I've ever heard, but when he makes fun of people for asking questions then no one does anymore.

Definitely the best prof. I've ever had in my life. Amazing teacher, wonderful person. Obnoxiously sarcastic for people who can't deal with sarcasm - but great humor for people who can. Love this class, and don't want it to end.

Comment:

Zimmt is a great professor. He is 1 of the 4 people in the world who is enthusiastic abt organic chemistry. This makes lectures a little less painful. He encourages questions in lecture which is nice. Although he can come across as cocky, he truly cares about students' understanding. & he's hot

Comment:

By far the most overrated professor I know about here at Brown. Gets his jollies by making Orgo kids feel stupid - just ask him a question and see what answer you get. May jump around a lot in lecture, but makes a big, confusing deal out of concepts that are pretty straightforward. Go with SETO!!

Comment:

Great at explaining things and giving nice ways to remember them. But he can definitely be a jerk and annoyingly "funny". If you have to learn orgo, he at least makes it relatively easier. Awful exams... likes people to flunk. But this goes for all the orgo profs.
