He basically talks abt UCLA, Harward, Stanford, MIT, and all the ivy schools. It felt more like a counseling class. But his discussions are interestin. Take his class if you like doing 3-4 research papers.

Interesting subjects.

If you want an easy A take his class. You'll love his lectures too. Very interesting.

An outstanding teacher with a broad based academic background. He has several PhD degrees and knows how to relate multiple fields to each other. He is a brilliant lecturer and outstanding discussion leader. He is kind and compassionate and knows how to motivate excellence in his students. Excellent preparation for UC/CSU transfer students.

Very dedicated to his students; scholarly; open-minded and encourages critical thinking. He is very kind, polite, compassionate, and dedicated to student success. He is very encouraging and sees the best in everyone. He is always there to help and is very inspirational. He is highly respected. He is the best professors I have ever had.

A superior teacher and lecturer; very helpful, shows interrelationships. He is able to teach so that students really understand the key points well. He is so dedicated to his profession and his students. He is outstanding in every aspect of teaching. He is highly respected by the student body. You really learn in this class. Superior.`

Dr. Zucker is very understanding with his students. it takes me longer to put my ideas on paper and time was not an issue, as long as i had made progress in the class period with the paper. the stories he told in class made the course relavent and it was Not sleep worthy material (it was interesting)

Dr. Zucker teaches you to view life differently and inspires you with his stories to grow as a person. I didnt mind waking up for my early morning class. He always has a smile waiting for you and if you need any extra help he is always there.

Dr. Zucker's class is fun and insightful. His teachings are applicable to our own lives. He has a patient, understanding, and caring personality. He is quite inspirational and his class is very enjoyable.

Dr. Zucker uses a lot of his own life experiences to illustrate to the student that no matter how hard their circumstances, they can still be successful in life. My only concern is that I did not think that he was quite critical enough in the advice he gives when grading papers. not enough red ink for me!

Teaching method is relatively conventional; just doesn't always come out and tell you, "Ok, the story I just told you illustrates the following principle found in your reading selection..." Sometimes he leaves that up to the student to figure out. He talks ALOT about his life but it's all applicable to class material. Not a writing skills class.

At first I was not interested in the class or Dr. Zucker's style of teaching. As the class went on, Dr. Zucker would talk about his life. I began to see that at the end of his story he had taught a valuable lesson. Now that I understand his way of teaching, because he doesn't tell you how he teaches, you walk away fulfilled. I enjoy the class.

stresses the students to analyze critically. more time however is spend listening to zucker talk than writing papers. it is important for the class to develop good writing skills.

Dr. Zucker was an excellent teacher, ans his class I enjoyed and looked foward to going to each day of the week. He has a unique style which myself and other classmates seemed to get comfortable with quickly. Dr. Zucker pays particular atttention to the students and tries his best to help whether the student needs help in life or in the classroom

Dr. Zucker's class was fun overall. I enjoy learning, and his antedotes and obvious enthusiam gave us the freedom to get as much or as little as we wanted from the class. This is a teacher who doesn't just care, but loves what he does. Highly recommended!

Very nice man, but I did not like his teaching methods. Used a lot of his personal life experiences in his lectures. Does not really go over poetry, so it's up to you to interpret. Last paper is a ten page resarch paper of an author's work. Very hard!

he talks about his life a lot... but at the end of it all... you learn a lot more than english. important lessons and all that mushy crap. haha

Look, Dr. Zucker is a really nice man. I would love to have him as a neighbor or an uncle, but I am sooooo glad to be done with the class. I like english and I couldn't get an A on anything. The lectures rarely have anything to do with assignments or the subject of english. The ten page paper counts as 2 grades (out of 5) so you better give it your

I found Mr. Zucker to be one of the best proffesors i've ever had. He encouraged the class to think about relevant issues that often go overlooked, and he was very understanding when it came to homework and tests. He challenged me to do well and opened my eyes to a lot of new things. He is very smart and also very kind and personable. I am glad i g

Mr. Zucker is a verry effective teacher. his instructions are clear and easy to follow. the only suggestion i have is that he needs to write the assignments on the black bord.

I love this teacher. His lectures are so interesting. He knows the material. You will not get bored in his class. Everyone should take English with him. He is very understanding :)

Relates readings to real life and tries to keep you interested with different lectures. Reasonable, expects only what you can do. he's really sweet and understanding. reasonable grader..go to class. do the work and you'll do really well.

1 class w/ Zucker and you'll be ready for more challenges throughout college. very passionate. lectures stem from the current topic. very clear and understanding. insightful. smart. nice. let us out an hour early everyday during summer session. simply the best. i will never forget this professor. Thank You. More power and all the blessings. Peace..

Great class! He is a very good teacher. He explains literature with real life's experiences, which makes the class enjoyable.

dr zucker is a very good teacher. he lectures from real life experiences and some of the stories have made me laugh. but the work is not dificult and he understands that students have lives so he gives us extra time to study and etc. I had him for summer session and he was excellent. i would recommend this class if you want to be stress free!!!!

The best teacher ever!!! He is so nice and has a great passion for teaching. His lectures are so intresting and really make you ponder life and literature. He bends over backwards to help his students succed! You will enjoy every miniute of his class!

TEACH IS KOO AS ****... HE CARES A LOT ABOUT STUDENTS AND U CAN COME TO HIM ABOUT ANYTHING AND HE WILL BE HELLA KOO WITH U. ESSAYS CAN BE TURNED IN LATE NO PROBLEM AND EVEN AS LATE AS WHEN THE NEXT ESSAY IS DUE. JUST BE HELLA KOO AND STRAIT UP WITH HIM AND YOU'LL BE AIGHT... HE EVEN DROPS ONE OF THE ESSAY GRADES!!! EASY A****

Great attitude towards students. Student-friendly and willing to help students. Gives interesting lectures. However, lectures given are not in depth. Work done in class is mostly independent.

He tells a lot of stories but its better than just talking about English all day and I think he does it to explain why literature is so important. The essays are very straight forward and he'll work with you to improve them.

Dr. Zucker is a very easy teacher. He gives you more than enough time to finish anything. It includes paper, test, homework ....etc. He relates life stories with the subject at hand, yet they are pretty good and interesting. Istrongly recommend to obtain his class!!!!

I feel Prof. Zucker is an wonderful teacher who is very passionate about teaching and helping the student do as well as possible. His class isn't too hard, do the work assigned and you should do fine. His grading is fare, however he isn't one to just hand out A's unless the work is well written. Overall he is a great teacher.

Professor Zucker is very dedicated to helping his students succeed so he will give you help if you need it. He tries to incorporate life stories into his lectures to relate them to literature, but sometimes they wander. It is a pretty easy class although you'll need a knowledge of English composition beforehand.

this class is pretty easy. The teacher is very lenient about the due date of the essays. The essays are about 3 to 4 pages long and are pretty easy. There are no tests just 3 tak home essays and an in class final essay. doesnt care about tardies. He is very understanding and just says to turn in the papers as soon as you can.

very good teacher, really enjoys teaching and loves his students. doesn't give out many assignments so there arnt many points in this class, do all the assignments. pretty easy grader very cool teacher

The class is relatively easy as long as you pay attention and do the work. The teacher offers lots of help and guidance. He is a good teacher and a nice person and if I had a choice to take him again for another class, I would.

Nice teacher! He really seems to care about his students and will do anything to help you if English isn't your best subject. He also grades pretty easy. Would definately take another class with him!

the class is pretty easy but he doesnt teach. he never stays on topic. he talks about one thing and just keeps straying from the main topic. he likes to talk about philosophy and how to raise children and the divorce rate. not the greatest teacher but the class is easy.

took his english 1A class. he really cares about students. mostly talks about his life stories. everything is pretty much essays and reading on your own. he extends due dates alot. overall pretty laid back class.

Dr Zucker reminds me of Benjamin Button (if you've see the movie) He's a small old man, reminds me of my grandpa. He really cares a lot about his students. He's VERY LENIENT about turning in your work late or if you have trouble writing your essays. I took his class during the winter, and it was easy! Easy A or B Just complete the work, late or not

This Professor is the nicest teacher i ever had!He's extremely understanding, always willing to help, and very generous. He's also very interesting; he has a ton of interesting stories that he tells you in class. Take him if you need this class!

very easy teacher he talks alot but this class is a easy A he doesnt care about attendance and he is very nice. If you want to pass take him

He repeats his stories a lot which have nothing to do with english. Its more of a life class where he brags and preaches. He doesn't teach you to write better and never tells you how to improve your essays. you may leave the class feeling depressed. Too old to be teaching still

He so understands! He can be a little irritating at times because for a little old man he can talk up a storm! But in all of his talking he says a lot of things that are helpful and interesting. I took him for English 1A and going to take him again for English 1C in the spring. I highly recommend his class for those how love or hate English!

He was very easy and helpfull professor.Knowledge of life and course makes the class really intersting.

He is so nice and easy! He knows like everything about life and you will learn alot from him. The book he uses is Walden by Thoreau, just read it and go on cliffnotes and u'll basically get an A!

He is SOOOO nice and easy! He knows like everything about life and you will learn alot from him. He uses the book Walden by Thoreau, just read it and go on sparknotes and u'll basically get an A!

Thus professor is legit... great class.. the book we read was really inspiring... one of the best professors I've had. If you try you will absolutely not fail... promise!

Professor Zucker is quite honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is very understanding about essay deadlines if you find yourself unable to finish on time. He seems like some sort of mix between a Philosophy professor and an English professor. Very interesting stories that help relate Thoreau to our generation.

Dr. Zucker is the easiest and a very good professor with all his students, always willing to help everyone to passed his class. I enjoyed his class very much for all his advises and encourages he guarantees that everyone will pass his class if one does the best he can. "If I did it you can do it."

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.

Great story time!!!

Amazing teacher! He really wants everyone to pass the class.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hes great and easy. He tells a lot of interesting stories, very nice gentleman. Very easy. Very.

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.

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.

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.

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.

professor Zucker was a wonderful teacher. H truly cares about his students and wants to do all he can to help you pass the class.
