Comment:

I took this class a year ago and it still angers me to think about it. He did not teach anything and the tests were random questions and NO ONE did well on them. I went to every class and when i asked him about my grade he would say "you're fine." I wrote an extra credit essay at the end and was expecting an A or B. I am an A student and I got a C!

Comment:

Had him for History of Rock n' Roll. Gotta say, he's a super cool guy, talked to him a bunch about music after class and he definitely knows his stuff. The class is super easy as long as you pay attention, come to class, and at least appear interested in what he's talking about. I would definitely recommend having him.

He's a beast. The first half of the class is so boring but the second half is easy as can be. You just BS your way through the 4 presentations and a book report. He is all over the place but a really funny guy with crazy phrases I call "Zimmermanisms". Hilarious guy actually.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. You won't be able to take notes because he skips around a lot - plus he doesn't use any overheads and barely writes on the board. Don't even get me started on watching movies. He stops the movies every few minutes to explain completely obvious things. He doesn't bother to learn names, nor will you learn a single thing.

Comment:

Honestly his class has no structure and is unorganized. I went to every class, didn't do well on the tests(NO ONE DID)(except i got an A on the last test), did well on my midterm and final presentations, AND i did extra credit. I was expecting a B or even an A, but I ended up with a C. I dont recommend this class unless you already know about music

Comment:

I liked Mr. Z's class and how the first half of the semester was run differently than the second half. He's a good guy but it really bothered me that he was at least 15 minutes late to every class and 45 minutes late for our final! For me, the motivation to come to class dwindled as the semester went on because of his lack of organization.

This is an easy class. 2 speeches you can BS your way through and thats really your whole grade. Boring lectures but i never opened the book and still passed. No homework. The guy is a bit quirky but in general a nice person.

Comment:

Don't take this teacher. I took his summer class and he's not a very good teacher. He reads right out of the textbook and stops the movie ever 10 seconds. Maybe if I didn't have to sit through 4 hours of him it wouldn't be as bad. His tests are confusing and unorganized. I would not recommend taking his class.

Great Teacher! The class is easy and you learn a lot because you are not stressed to memorize for the tests. Definitely take him.

Comment:

Mr. Z's class is the easiest class I've ever taken. The time flies by, because because all we're doing is watching movies and documentaries. Plus, you actually learn stuff. He's very laid back, and has a great sense of humor. The only complaint I would have are for the 3 required speeches you have to give. Other than that, it's an extremely easy A+

Comment:

Super easy class, but you will barely touch 20th century music even though that's what the class is supposed to focus on. He sometimes contradicts himself, so watch out when you take notes and ask questions. Other than that, should be an easy "A"
