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.
Very Very Good teacher
Professor Zimmerman is a great professor. He truly cares that his students succeed in the class. He gives you pts. for online HW and reviews prior to exams. I'm not good with math and got an A in the class thanks to him helping us out.
This man is the one to take if you care anything about learning and passing. There is no excuse for anyone to fail his class. NADA
Relies heavily on MyStatLab and not so much on the book. He pretty much makes it impossible to fail. His jokes keep you awake and alert during long lectures... Highly recommended.
He was a good professor. I highly recommend him for the none math majors. He wants his students to pass the class and makes it almost impossible to fail!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He really cares about his students succeeding. He is very funny which takes some of the pressure off. Math has never been a favorite of mine but he made it enjoyable. Take notes, ask questions and do your homework and you will pass no problem. Don't need your book. Sad I don't need any other math courses.
Prof.Z is awesome. Hard to fail this STA class. He truly cares about his students. He gives extra credit for hw and great reviews for test.Do not buy the book, just the codes to log on mymathlab. MAKE SURE YOUR CELL PHONE IS "OFF" during class.
Best math teacher i ever had!!!
he is awesome!!!!!!!! i love him better then my last teacher. He cares about his students and do not mind tutoring you. always open up office hours
He's easy but doesn't teach and treats you like your in high school. Gives u the answers to all the answers before the test but learned nothing jus memorized. So if u have him good luck
This professor is very good for Statistics. He will not let you fail the class. He only gives A-C grades and promises that in the beginning of the year. Very reasonable. You can do half the homework and do alright on the tests and get a B.
Professor Z is a math major, so if you want an easy A do not take him. He makes you earn your grade. I passed his class.
Overall, a nice guy. His class is hard. Exams are majority of your grade and have the hardest questions on them. He is available in his office hours,doesn't help if you have a full time job. If your excellent in math, then I highly recommend him. If not, no way!! DO NOT HAVE A CELL PHONE OUT AT ALL!
Take Him!!! I'm taking him now, he has let us redo our first test and gives up to a 90 on that one. The second test was take home and he made time for us at panera bread to help w/ that one, and for Exam III he reviewed the entire test in class. One exam to go. Also if you do homework,can get up to extra 10pts on each exam. Awesome Professor!! :)
The best professor on Earth. If you need a great, compassionate, knowledgeable, fun teacher, then this is your teacher. He is very nice. His class is well prepared and he only touches base on what you need to know and does not waste time with information not needed. His office hours are very convenient. Love this teacher.
Awesome teacher is awesome. Incredibly helpful, engaging, works very hard for his students, and is very a fair grader. My entire class bombed 1 test so any grade below 70 was bumped up to a 70. I scored a 48, but I got a 70. Made A's on all the other test. Just do the homework and the test are easy. All together a pun filled class.
He is the most helpful, caring math teacher I have ever had. I go to UCF and the way they teach this class there is horrific so I took it at Seminole State. You do not need the textbook, all homework is done on My Math Lab, if you get 100s on the homework he adds 10 points to your test!! As long as you show an effort you can easily get an A.
Quirky, but gives you EVERY available opportunity to EARN your grade. You MUST do the work, attend lecture, attempt homework and he WILL reward you in turn. He WANTS you to learn/comprehend and will go above and beyond to make sure that happens. Actual looking forward to taking him for Statistics and I do NOT enjoy Math- AMAZING instructor!!!
THE BEST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD. PERIOD. You must take him.
I really enjoyed his class. I've took him for 4 math subjects and he helped me a lot with clarity and he broke everything down. That's exactly what I needed because I'm not a math person. Thankyou so much professor Zimmerman "You are the best Professor I've experienced at Seminole State"
Professor Zimmerman is funny, cute, and also manages to keep us on task. Willing to help even when its not office hours. Very tough but gives us every chance to pass right down to the end.
Very committed to students succeeding and his test preps are great. Don't underestimate this class. He's really into math. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS OFFICE HOURS!! That's where I learned the most.
He cares about students. He is not in the classroom to get a paycheck. He goes above and beyond to help every student to achieve the goals of this class. If you do not pass is because you really do not care. He has a great sense of humor. He has his rules and you'd better follow them. He keeps a wonderful environment in the classroom.
Hands Down Prof. Zimmerman is the best Math professor at Seminole State.He cares about students.He goes above & beyond to help every student to achieve the goals of this class. If you do not pass is because you really do not care. he's very positive. He gives extra credit & lets you know what's expected on the test. I will be taking him for Statics
He makes math easy. Book is hardly used just need Mathlab access. Plently of time to get home work done work load very reasonable. He is very very willing to help you and WANTS everyone to pass with an A. Reviews for the exams are great, the exams are problems taken right from the book and reviewed. He makes math fun!
He's the best of the best! as long as you pay close attention, do allll of your homework, study hard and focus you will pass. I have never ever,ever seen a professor like this! he goes above and beyond to help you.All I can say is awesome,awesome,awesome.
OMG! He is very smart, professional, helpful... If you show up in class and do your homework you will def get a good grade. He is always willing to help, so put lil effort and you will do well. Zimmerman is the best!!!
Great professor! Truly cares for his students and takes plenty of time to help you if needed. He made College Algebra enjoyable and easy to understand.
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD HANDS DOWN! He really cares about his students & if they understand what's going on. Always willing to help! DO THE HW its extra cred on tests & go to class, his reviews are exactly whats on the test! NO CELL PHONES, he HATES them in class. Go to class & do the HW, you'll get an A!
He is soooo nice and helpful! Cares so much about his students and any questions they may have. He tells a lot of corny jokes but he is an overall amazing professor and makes math not so terrible! Take him :)
Professor Zimmerman is a wonderful and caring professor. he takes time with his students. Make sure you use his office hours.
You really don't learn statistics. You learn statcrunch. Easy pass but very little knowledge gained
Prof. Zimmerman is one of the best math teachers at SSC. He helps you think about how to solve a problem analytically rather than by procedure. I believe the way I look at math now has completely changed and I feel more than ready for Calc I. Go to every class, he gives outstanding reviews for exams. I would take him again if I had the chance.
Attention Seminole State Students, If you need a math that he teaches, TAKE IT!!! I took him for Stats, College Algebra, and Concepts of Calculus. And I suck at math!!!
Great professor! Is patient, clear, and helpful! Show up, do your part, and always go to his test reviews!
If you suck at math and want to pass make sure to take Professor Zimminator!!! I took him for Stats, College Algebra, and Concepts of Calculus. I didn't get A's but I passed, which is all what mattered to me. I passed with a lot of slacking. So if your apply yourself you will do great with him. He will make you work but also make sure you pass!!!
Awesome Teacher, awesome class. Actually learned what I was doing, instead of just memorizing like every other math class i've taken. Personally, this class was an easy A as he guides you through everything you need to know. Also works out every test problem, so if you work through them again at home, you'll get a 100 on every test.
Stat was my worse subject. Third time taking it, but, first time taking it with him. He broke it down in a way that I could understand it. He had group studies and would feed us, too! He is always available even during his lunch. If you do your homework and make an effort you will pass, but, I got an "A"! I was a tough course, but, he will help!
ZIMMERMAN IS THE BEST YOU CAN GET FOR A MATH TEACHER.
You seriously have to care very little to fail his class! Exam reviews are him giving you the question AND showing you how to find the answer for every question. One take home test. Attendance counts as a quiz grade. You have the entire semester to complete HW. Very helpful. Would definitely take again. Kinda corny. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!
Professor Zimmerman was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I was scared for my life since it's a math requirement you need a C or better. He passed me with a B. He loves answering questions about the material. If you want to pass a statistics class TAKE ZIMMERMAN!! Show up for test reviews otherwise you will fail (he gives the answers).
HE IS AWESOME IF YOU GO TO HIS OFFICE HRS HE WILL HELP YOU OUT. TAKE HIM! HE'S GREAT.
Was a very good teacher. He makes trigonometry as enjoyable as I think anyone can make it. He really really enjoys the subject he teaches. He is very quick on teaching the subject and uses a lot of terms, but he always does study sessions throughout the week and is always jumping in conversations to help you. Reviews are identical to tests. Easy A.
This class isn't hard as long as you learn how to use StatCrunch. Got A's on all the tests and his reviews are very generous
I have always been great at math but this was the first math class I have taken that was hard. Study the reviews and that will help. He gives you all you need to get a good grade but is still difficult.
The best professors ever. I would recommend this professor to anyone! Makes it very hard for you to not make an A.
Professor Zimmerman is just meant to be a teacher. He truly understands that teaching is about helping a student understand material. He gets that there's not point in keeping you in the dark regarding tests; he gives VERY generous test reviews. He's funny, too. He does tend to go a teensy bit fast during lectures, but will slow down if you ask.
Statistics is a subject you wont understand unless you're a math major and professor Zimmerman gets that! I struggled and he passed me with a B! He's funny and has a lot of jokes, he wants his students to pass! He has panera bread help sessions before every test! Loved him.
show up do the homework and take notes and attend review day for each test and u will get an easy A
I have taken Zimmerman before and if I took him again that should be said that he is a good professor. He is a very caring giver when it comes to points toward your grade. Always offers help inside and outside of class with his help sessions, and the test reviews are over generous. Only flaw is his teaching is very quick and he uses a lot of terms
He's an ok professor. I wouldn't take him again.
would not recommend him if you want a good teacher.
He never gave up on me. Best professor I ever had.
Very clear and very thorough. Wish he taught at my university.
best teacher ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Zimmerman is one of the best professor at Seminole State. He gives you many resources for help and always willing to clarify things in class/outside of class. He will pick on anyone in the class, so definetly pay attention! He does reviews the day before, easy quizzes, less hw prbms with an exception to final exam there's no review.
Zimmerman is one of the best math professors I have ever had. He is very clear as to what will be on the exams, is very helpful if you have an confusion or questions about a certain problem. If you take his class prepare for a lot of math puns.
All you have to do is show up to pass. The class before you take a test, he goes over the whole entire test with the class and allows you to write it down to study. Plus he always tells stupid jokes that aren't even funny but will still make you laugh. I would take him a million times
He assumes that you already know the material so he focuses on the complex stuff during class. The exams are exactly as the reviews so do them. You will survive if you do the online HW and the reviews. He makes a lot of jokes that aren't funny but it will make you laugh anyway. He is a nice prof and is willing to help if you are struggling.
the class is not difficult if you pay attention and take notes. Lectures are pretty dull but still show up and be there for the review because he helps you out a lot in those! DON"T LEAVE HW UNTIL THE END! DO IT AFTER LECTURE OR ON WEEKENDS BUT BEWARE ITS A LOT OF PROBLEMS TO DO THE NIGHT BEFORE ITS DUE SO PACE YOURSELF :)
I am horrible at Math. I had been out of school for over 25 years. I took College Algebra with Mr. Zimmerman. He explains everything plain and clear. He makes himself available for his students during office hours and he even met students for study sessions on weekends at Panera Bread. He is very caring and tries his best to help!
He can be difficult to understand at times because he always speaks very technical however, he is willing to answer any questions you have until you understand what he is saying. Gives reviews for tests and homework help. CHOSE BOOK HOMEWORK NOT LAB.
Really cares about his students and their progress. Will take time to answer questions and help outside of class.
Prof. Zimmerman was amazing! He made everything so easy to understand, and made sure everyone in the class understood the concept before moving on. He teaches the why behind every step, not just where you put the numbers. You leave understanding why you do things a certain way, and can answer any problem with what he gives you. Take him if you can!
I think he is the best math teacher I have taken so far. He takes time out of his saturdays to meet with students at the panera near altamonte campus, gives them food, and personally tutors them. He will work with you on your grade A LOT. It feels like you're failing, but you're probably not.
It's a method to his madness. Will seem difficult at first but as long as you pay attention and ask question you will get a good grade. Definitely do the homework. Your effort matters to this professor.
He is ONE OF THE BEST math teachers I have ever taken. He takes the time to make sure you understand the material very well and very understanding. He is also very funny too. Makes the class really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!!
ONE OF THE BEST! You have to get used to the way he speaks about math. That takes a few weeks, but once you've got it down, he's amazing. So caring and he has the weirdest jokes that make you laugh. Exams were super easy and he buys you food if you go to his help sessions. TAKE HIM! Just make sure you do your stuff and you'll be more than fine!
Definitely a professor to take, especially for the harder math classes. He will do everything he can to help you pass, just put the work in. His study guides ARE HIS TESTS. Study them. Go to all his help sessions and don't skip class. You'll be fine!
He doesn't give many examples for the lessons. He will do one problem and then move on to the next section so when you go to do the homework, nothing makes sense. Had to go to tutoring to get things explained. He really does want everyone to pass, as long as he sees you trying and paying attention he wont fail you. He's nice and really funny.
He was one of the best math teachers I have ever had. His test reviews were VERY generous, he would basically give us the test with different numbers. He was very easy to ask questions to. He is kinda quirky but it made it easier to sit through the whole class. Definitely recommend him
For the first time I am really understanding with math is all about. He replaces technology with knowledge. We use our calculator to check his work and we have to watch the board for mistakes. What a breath of fresh air! I've become confident each time I find a hidden mistake. Thank you for a great semester!
awesome, the besT!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Please take him! Best math teacher I've ever had. He truly cares about his students and will do whatever it takes to make sure you understand the material. His test REVIEWS are literally THE TEST. As long as you keep up with your work, there is no way you can get less than an A!
Zimmerman is the GOAT of math professors. You learn QUALITY math and it is GUARANTEED if you're not proficient at math, YOU WILL BE MORE PROFICIENT in the end. Very inspirational professor and will help you a lot if you put forth the effort. Also, a very honest professor and won't sugarcoat anything but will also let you know you have it in you.
There are two types of math professors- the teachers and the geniuses. It's usually one or the other, and Zimmerman is a genius, not a teacher. He's helpful but in his own way. Personally I think he struggles with showing students how to solve problems, he just does them on his own on the whiteboard. Not sure I learned much...
Zimmerman 100% cares about his students. Does a review before every test and is almost identical to the actual test. He will go above and beyond when it comes to meeting a student outside of the classroom, whatever works around your schedule. Homework on MyMathLab is very time consuming, but if you do it, you'll for sure pass the test. 10/10.
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 an okay professor but he is extremely awkward....
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.
