Professor Zimmerman truly cares about teaching international business. Strongly suggest you pay attention to his slides, do the extra credit assignments, and no plagiarism. He will check all work through turnitin.

It matters!! 5-Put genuine effort into your assignments

Comment:

Nice guy but very very very strict on grading. Only take him if you have to, if not please stay away. Lectures are boring and so are the assignments. There is also a country project which is quite difficult to get a decent grade on.. half the class is required to do a presentation. AGAIN only take his class is you have to...

Comment:

Really straight edge kind of guy. Nice man but very very tough grader on the group projects. Test are long and classes are even longer. Has tons of slides per chapter which he just puts on the screen which grows old after the first week. He does give UNLIMITED extra credits so plenty of opportunity to make up a bad test grade which is quite fair

Comment:

Ok, Pretty good professor, he is a professional in this field so he's made to teach this. Sometimes he's boring. He gives 3 tests, all multiple choice, and 1 group country report that you DONT have to present.The midterm and final are cumulative but they hve repeat questions from previous tests. Not a hard class,Study its that simple.

Boring Boring Boring, Example of a self absorbed doesn't give a**** professor. I guess the good thing is, you're upper management will probably be like this guy, so you'll have experience with dealing with these types.

Comment:

Took him several times - still have good memories about his stories in "the office furniture business." - the class can be fun if you participate and ask questions...this really helps your grade too. The presentations and class participation are 35% of the grade. Do a good job on them and you will get a high grade in the class.

Alan Zimmerman brings his life experience of working in marketing and advertising into the classroom -- this is much more interesting than just reading the textbook. You need to participate in class and answer questions -- this will raise your grade a lo

Professor Zimmerman is very professional and businesslike. His tests are not that difficult if you study. I would recommend this class if you want to learn more than you want a good grade.
