Comment:
I am a math major, so I know who is a good math teacher and what it takes to teach a good math course. Zucker has no idea what he's doing. He's useless in classs. If you must take his course, buy whatever textbook he's using and rely solely on that. Anything that you 'learn' from Zucker will actually detract from your understanding of the material

Comment:
Worst professor ever. He doesn't feel the need to teach, his lectures are composed of nonsensical mumblings and imcomprehensible 'non-sequitur' style structure, and he is impossible to deal with on a personal level. He is self-absorbed, clearly (and openly) despises his students and teaching, and offers absolutely no help to students.

Lin Alg is a very theoretical subject, and Zucker is the worst guy to be teaching it... He's absolutely useless

Comment:
Lectures are slow, unclear, hard to follow, and unorganized. He insists on getting sidetracked and making small, unfunny jokes. Also spends the first two classes arguing why everything's the students' fault. Changed homework 5 days after assigning it, and then changes the due date to the next class, rather than a couple days later. Avoid.

He babbles on about nothing every lecture, and it's not even worth it to go, which is fine if you enjoy freeing up an hour of your day.

Comment:
WORST TEACHER IN HISTORY. hates his students, does nothing to help them, and his lectures are painful. talks about unrelated topics, makes fun of students, and seems to resent teaching. i retook this class for a better grade after having him and got an A easily because the qualilty of the teacher was 100% better, which goes to show he is the worst

I HATE THIS GUY!!! His lectures are horrible! He complains about how students these days are not what they used to be. This guy does not care about teaching whatsoever. He is really weird and his jokes are NEVER funny, even though the front row kids always laugh at them...AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Found out I got him again and I dropped his class...

Comment:
Terrible instructor. Going to class was actively detrimental to my understanding of the material. Instructor is also obsessed with proving that he is an excellent teacher, often by quoting the few students from years past who enjoyed his company.

Comment:
It's not the fact that he blabs about stuff loosely related to math during lectures and assigns homework that has pretty much nothing to do with whats going on that pisses me off. Rather, its that while doing all this, he says, with a smile, that he intended to do so all along, and sees no reason why he actually has to teach.

Horrible teacher. On the first day he hands out a sheet explaining his philosophy that he shouldn't teach anything. Everything he does is to serve his own ego and prove to himself that he is smart.

The most unapprochable person at hopkins. Very strange guy with a weird sense of humor. Unfairly treats his class and didn't teach.
