Comment:

Professor Zimmerman had interesting lectures, and wanted everyone to get involved. If you show up and listen you will do fine. It is really easy to access help in this class if you do need it. Most of your essays will be turned in on canvas. He does do pop quizzes every day before class, but their easy.

Comment:

I passed ENC1101 with an A+. But ENC1102 with Mr. Zimmerman is tough. I could not pull an A on ANY of my papers OR portfolios. The class work overall was fun and pretty easy. But no matter how much I tried to work on the feedback he gave me, it never seemed to change on the next assignment. He didn't really help me improve my writing.

This class and this professor aim to fool you. The goofy upside-down staff photo. The personality that can best be described as worldly, jovial and jaded all at once. A genuinely fun class to be in, I was never bored. However, what lurks in the shadows are tests that defy you to just read an outline. You will read or you will fail. Highly recommend

Professor Zimmerman is my favorite professor. His lectures are provocative, interesting, and to the point. The professor is clearly seasoned in many subjects making his class all the more interesting. Very fair guy, offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. He is very helpful and student friendly. I came out of this class with lots of new info.

Be warned: there is a test almost every day. Make sure to buy the textbook and read the readings every day. If you do this, as well as pay attention to the lectures (which isnt hard; he has fascinating lectures with plenty of humor), youre almost sure to pass.

It's a literature class, so of course there's tons of reading from the book (though most stories you can find online for free). Very organized professor that has an always-updated schedule online so you know what to read if you miss a class and if there's a quiz the next day. Funny professor that encourages class discussion. Fantastic.

Grades papers tough! Easily 2 letter grades below actual deserved grade. Be on your AAA game otherwise you will not pass. Read, read, read. Pay attention to every detail or else you will miss the boat. Good luck

Awesome teacher! I really enjoyed his class I found him easy to follow and his lectures relatable to the material. As long as you follow the reading material and the lectures the class is fairly easy to follow.

Comment:

This professor has unreal expectations for an online course. Quizzes should be easy but with no in class discussions, you have to make your own interpretations of reading material, this doesn't work well on quizzes. And he has unreal expectations for written essays. This is CF not Harvard or Stamford. Choose another professor

He's really great at getting back to people in a timely manner and fixing whatever problems there might be on his website quickly. Everything needed to get a good grade on his assignments are clearly specified within the assignment itself.

Comment:

I took Mr. Z for History and Aesthetics of Film. I feel this course was beneficial for improving my writing and analysis skills, b/c throughout the class you critique and analyze different films. All the assignments were valuable and interesting, but definitely writing intensive. Mr. Z makes his expectations clear and gives good feedback.

This professor is amazing! He is really good at explaining the difficult things to learn. Come to class, do your readings-which are interesting-and learn to grow in writing and you will do just fine in this class. If you ever need help he is there and responds well to emails , great professor!

This class seems like a lot of work, and it kind of is but as long as you treat it like a fun opportunity (Watching movies IS a fun opportunity) you'll do fine. It's a lot of writing, but it's on fun topics. Over all, the class was fun and not too difficult. Also, there is a strict schedule so be sure to stick to that.

Comment:

It was a pleasure taking your film class, the wealth of information was absorbed with a ferocious appetite. I acquired a new perspective into filmmaking, directing, and editing. It feels good to walk away with strong facts from the different time periods of film and see more clearly the genius of directing. I will recommend your class to all...
