Comment:

Zucker was an awesome teacher he made class interesting even though the subject was rather boring. It seems hard at first but all of the test questions are directly from the notes and he tells you a lot of the topics that he thinks are important to know about. I didn't use the book at all the readings just confused me.

Prof. means well, but his notes are very hard to follow and tests are very tricky. Go to class, and ASK questions and you will easily get a B

Comment:

Zucker is awesome and pretty easy to pass as long as you go to class. Thats what you're supposed to do in college right? GO TO CLASS. Just because you're parents aren't there to tell you to go doesn't mean u should just slack off. Grow up people. Easy as long as you're the type of person that actually wants to have a future.

Comment:

Zucker was HORRIBLE! Do NOT take his class. Don't take philosophy at all if you don't have to. His tests are VERY tricky, his notes are EXTREMELY hard to understand, and he is rude to you one-on-one. He is NOT a good professor. I advise you to NOT take ANY of his classes! He is THAT bad!

Comment:

Even though attendance isn't mandatory, it is highly recommended, he puts random in class discussions on the tests. Philosophy in general is very confusing and it was hard to make sense of many of the topics he discussed. However, he is always willing to answer any question you may have.

Comment:

Zucker is a great guy and answers any questions you may have. You really have to work for a good grade. His notes and lectures are truly all over the place and not available online unless your classmates choose to share. He uses the chalkboard and his handwriting is really bad. He is also hard of hearing.

I've taken several classes with Zucker, and I always see if I can fit one of his classes into my schedule. Great professor, but he'll make you work.

Funny and interesting man but terrible class, at least from my experience. I expect to do alright grade wise, but the lectures were truly ALL OVER THE PLACE. Incredibly difficult to follow, and frustrating, to say the least. This class is most definitely NOT an easy "A"

Great Guy, awful teacher. Makes up words you need to know in order to take tests. The material is all over the place and mainly covers his friends. Prof. Zucker chooses to teach with rhetorical questions. All tests are multiple choice. Avoid this class with this teacher, he's about to retire and I think he is slacking.

Comment:

Zucker is one of my favorite professors by far. He is an ass to those who act stupid, and he keeps the class pretty interesting. He makes the boring hour go by quickly and he is always up for answering questions, although it is quite easy to get him off track. Sit up front that way you get to know him at a personal level & he will help you more.

I would definitely recommend taking this guy. He's extremely funny and makes confusing topics understandable and clear. I actually looked forward to going to his class everyday. Not an easy class, but you will enjoy it either way. Take Zucker.

Philosophy is what it is, difficult and abstract. He makes his point clear and good notes are the key.

most of the test questions are directly from the notes and very few are from the reading. if you come to class, you should get a good grade.

Comment:

My favorite professor so far. He's a little old-fashioned, and loves to scrawl his terrible handwriting all over the board, but he puts confusing material into examples you can understand and he's always a good laugh. Read the book, and stay up with the notes, or they'll get overwhelming.
