Good professor but hard. He is very into his math and is really good at it. But this is kind of a downfall to students who are not good in math. Too fast paced and you sort of have to go with the flow. If you are not good in math like algebra might want to take a professor that slows down to teach you like if you were back in high school.

Great professor, highly recommend!! Very passionate about math. He really knows his subject. He teaches you why the problem is solved that way, not just how to solve the problem. Sometimes too fast paced but if you apply yourself you can't fail this class. Lot's of corny jokes. I would take him again. I enjoyed his class.

A graphic calculator isn't necessary. Just use a regular scientific calculator. He's a great teacher. Cares about his students and accessible outside of the classroom. Don't miss his review. Homework on MyMathLab is very time consuming. Don't be lazy. You'll pass with an A

i am so grateful for professor zimmerman! i have always been the WORST at math and was terrified to go to college for this reason. he'll do everything he can to help you succeed he sees that you're working hard and actually care! study hard for his test reviews, GO TO CLASS, do the homework, and go to his office hours and you'll be fine :)

He's pretty awesome! He's absolutely hilarious in lectures, makes it pretty easy to understand the material, and is willing to help you understand if you don't get it right away. Don't miss the review days, for sure! They'll help a lot!

He can just walk into a class without a book or notes and gives us pages and pages of notes. Office hours are generous and he will stay longer if you need the help.

Professor Zimmerman seems to be a kind man. That said, his passion for math exceeds his passion for teaching, and that makes his teaching style rather convoluted. If you're truly passionate about math, and might study math in your spare time, you might like him. If you're taking this class merely because it's a pre-requisite, I'd take someone else.

Professor Zimmerman is without a doubt the best professor I've had. He genuinely cares and believes in his students. Extremely generous with office hours. Always willing to help or re-explain. If you show him you're committed, you care, and you are willing to put in the work he will do all he can to ensure you pass. He is very quirky and funny.

Amazing Professor! At first I was scared and terrified to take calculus, but after a few weeks I started to see a method to his madness. This man is a legend and now I know why. I have never had a professor this good before! TAKE HIM it will change your LIFE! Give this man a raise!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a great person and so kind and tries really hard to help you out if you are not good in math. He is really really smart though so sometimes when he teaches he is a little hard to follow just because he is smart and it comes natural to him. He does expect you to know the material before class and to study a lot before class.

Steve is THE BEST! He is EXTREMELY Generous! DO NOT Fail to take advantage of ALL of his office hours and opportunities to grow in your career of mathematics education, he does not baby step you. If Steve taught every single mathematics class (he should, if he isn't teaching request him from the chairperson), I WOULD take him for everything!

He was the greatest professor I ever had. I was very successful in this course and not only that. He gives reviews before tests, wants us to become a winner. Still gotta work hard but just do your best. Thanks to his tests I was not only able to pass his class but I got good grades on my other classes. Take him you wont regret it.
