Comment:

Dr. Zucker was a very good teacher. He loves his students and wants to help them succeed. He'll help by reading your papers and telling you how to fix it and make it better. I would recommend him for someone who struggles with English and need extra help.

Doctor Zucker is undoubtedly the best English professor I have ever had. His lectures are very entertaining and truly help you understand the material. He really cares about his students and is willing to go any length to see them succeed and ultimately understand the material. I would take his class again in a heartbeat.

Comment:

Dr. Zucker is a very nice and caring professor, however his lectures are hard to follow along because he goes on and on and on. He gives essays and test on the expected readings, your best bet is to just read what's in the syllabus and complete your essays. If you do good on essays and test you will pass.

Comment:

The stories he tells have little correlation with his lectures, but they are fascinating nonetheless. With that said, he is not the professor you should chose if you want to learn something. Grades off of minor errors and will pretty much give you the same grade on all the papers you write. Write an amazing first paper or you may be screwed.

Comment:

Doesn't grade off of the rubric in the syllabus. You will probably get C's on every paper due to a SINGLE error. He says it's the law that the highest grade you can receive for any single error is a C, I've never heard that in my life. I didn't learn a thing, I should've listened to negative reviews. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Bring coffee if you do!

Comment:

It's difficult to follow his lectures because he starts talking about subject related things then somehow ends up talking about something completely random. He also is a big culprit of "humble bragging" he's a nice old man but frankly I really don't care to hear his stories and would rather he spend less time being nostalgic. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Comment:

He's a nice guy, but he'll test your faith and how grounded you are in your religion. He gives long, and long lectures. If you're looking for a easy A, take him. But I warn you. If you can, try to avoid him. I'd rather take a harder class and learn something than have an easy A and not learn anything.

Dr. Zucker is a very caring teacher. He is very passionate and I appreciate the amount of effort he makes in contributing towards his students. He is a very good-hearted gentlemen and will do everything in his power to help you succeed in the class. If you want a challenge, do not take his class but if you want a chill and easy class, take it.

Comment:

He is a good professor he likes to give stories and explain the paper. Take notes when he's giving examples of essays makes it easy. 8 papers in total but totally easy. You don't need to read the whole book he tells you what chapters (about 4). He is easy on grading and explains to you what you did wrong. Recommend him.

Comment:

He doesn't teach you much. If you at least try you can pass. Bring your hw from other classes to do it in his class to not waste time and so you don't get bored. Most of the stuff he says is just stories. If you really want to know how to write I recommend taking another class. If you want you want to pass 1A take it.

Comment:

Very kind, and wants to ensure that everyone will succeed in his course and throughout their college career. He can ramble at times on stories that seem unrelated to class content, but he makes them interesting. Instructions for compositions were clear and he is more than happy to help if you need it.

Amazing man, he is the nicest person you will ever meet. He genuinely wants every student to succeed and to find a purpose in their college career. He gets off topic with his stories sometimes but they always end with some great advice. He is a very intelligent, well educated man and is willing to spread his knowledge.

Comment:

It was the second day of class and he already repeated a few of the stories he told us on the first day. If you are chill with old people stories this class is for you. (Enable to ask a question you have to jump in when he pauses to think, or else you will not get it answered. And if he choses to answer it, expect a story on the side)

Comment:

I became very close with Dr. Zucker. He cares more about teaching about life than he cares about English Essays. most of the time I just listened to his stories and you do pretty little work in class. he only makes us write about 3 or so papers. if you get to know him he is an amazing man, but I understand he was boring for some students.

Comment:

I withdrew after 2 months but not once did I learn anything about English. He told stories about his life the entire time, repeating himself FAR too often, 5-6 times by the time I dropped for some stories (though they were interesting the first time). He seems like a good guy, but as a teacher, honestly, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Comment:

Professor Zucker class consists of his irrelevant boring lectures that have nothing to do with what english. Literally all he does is tell the same stories over and over again every class. Did not learn a thing, total waste of time. I got a B on everything and BS'd my way through.
